Comments of Rooftop Bar
M. Y.
If you like bars with beautiful views it's definitely the place for you. The rooftop is actually quite high up so you feel as though you are part of the city skyline. Definitely try to come on a sunny day!
Service is very good and pricing is actually not too exxy. The burgers could be better value for money but as always you do have to pay a premium for beautiful views! They definitely hit the spot though.
L. B.
After being hard to find (we only noticed it after being at another rooftop bar across the road, and the lift to access the venture was tucked away next to a takeaway shop) we were sure glad we did. We were seated quickly and being a hot day they had the mist turned on, which was delightful. The roof opened up to create a nice atmosphere too.
Staff were friendly, service was quick, cocktails were delicious. Definitely a place to visit if you’re in the area
J. L. (.
Awesome rooftop space with an amazing view of the city day and night. You’ll find a selection of bar eats @ cocktails served by friendly and experienced staff. Great place for a snack and a drink in the CBD, awesome vibes with an incredible view, a must visit spot!
J. C.
A great rooftop bar with an extensive drinks list and food cart. Very relaxed atmosphere with good music. Lovely views of Melbourne city. Access is through Curtain House entrance and on level 7.
A. B.
Meals from the Snack Shack are great, and there's a good variety of drinks. But two things steal the show... the night time view and the amazingly knowledgeable and helpful staff. Bring a jacket, the wind can be chilly up there, and be patient with the queue at the bar. Trust me, it's worth the wait, so check it out
D. M.
Top suggestion when you search for a rooftop bar in Melbourne, elevator was out of service but it is only on level 6-7, worth the hike up the stairs. It's in a good CBD location and on the roof is spacious with a good atmosphere, burgers are delicious and the drinks are excellent all for a good price. Would and probably will definitely visit again on a nice day.
K. W.
Great venue, with good city views and a nice vibe. Tried the casa de curtain cocktail, and I think there was too much sumac mixed with the salt, it fell into the drink, and I couldn't tatse the watermelon. Other then that though, really good time, would come back again with friends
R. E.
BOOM...awesome find. Great ambience, sky and skyscapers made for a good night's viewing.
Excellent service. Highly recommend this bar.
I. S.
We dined at Mesa Verde last nigh tin the iconic Curtin Building ', gotta say the food mexican food and service were both great.
We then went upstairs to check out roof top bar and met the man in charge 'MJ' who was more than helpful and accommodating, we had some good laughs.
Really loved the vibrant open air atmosphere !
looking forward to heading back thee again soon,
Thanks MJ :)
T.
Have been here twice now, and the first experience far surpassed the second. My initial visit was with a group of friends and we tried a number of different canned craft beers and were treated with a fun and personal level of service. I went back again expecting a similar vibe, and was served a pretty average beer...in a plastic pint glass. Now, I'm more than forgiving of using plasticware in a nightclub setting, but it is almost condescending to have one's motor skills so heavily doubted at 4.30pm in the afternoon. I may give Rooftop Bar one more chance, but it feels currently like a venue without a strong sense of self perception — halfway between a sophisticated rooftop venue and a tacky day club.
T. F.
Rooftop was absolutely amazing. Great vibes, drinks and views. Bar staff was super friendly and MJ the host was a legend. 100% coming back again!

BEST VIBES
Choose a sunny Melbourne day and get here early - that's our tip for you. Grab a table and keep the drinks coming. It is absolutely stunning here, the views, the vibes, the food, the drinks - everything.
We are blessed to be living so close to these guys and are regulars.
Whatever you do, order the chicken tenders - the spice mix they use is the bomb.
Until next time!
A. J.
Good views, good range of drinks, food wise, they have a hamburger hit which make great burgers, but not much else. A place for chats and drinks rather than food.
P.
Nice our door rooftop bar. Staff are friendly. Good selection of cocktails and beer. We visited on a Tuesday just after 5 pm and there were lots of people.
K. G.
Really cool and chill vibes! The rooftop and the bar are well distributed, has non-smoking and smoking areas well delimited. The place is wide and it has a good view. Good service from the bar staff and floor staff. Bathrooms are clean. Really good place to spend an evening with friends, and to meet new people.
a. r.
Staff are fantastic. I learnt so much about cocktails 😊 drinks were great. The obvious wow is the view. It was a bit pricey. I asked for an extra shot of coffee liquor and it was $10! I almost died.
All in all the vibe is great and chilled. If you have heels on then you might want to get the lift as its on...well the rooftop. Level 7.
There are other levels and little nooks and crannies which was quirky and cool.
The only thing I could fault was it was pricey for my budget ie. Extra shot was $10. However don't let that stop you checking it out for yourself. Also on their website you can check out their menu and see if its up your alley. Love the little burger bar up the top too.
D. P.
One of Melbourne's worst kept secrets - in theory on the top floor behind a nondescript entrance between shops on Swanson St, it should be hard to find, yet this is a very popular place. Great ambience, really diverse menu both for food and drinks. I don't think I would make it my local, but a visit is essential.
2. _.
Very good vibe and affordable drinks, the view is amazing too, just a bit cold on a windy night but they have heaters
R. S.
Great atmosphere and chilled tunes. So nice to get a view
B. L.
Amazing place to relax and chat with your mates. Good view of the city, and all of the staff were really friendly as well. I was there with a friend from out-of-town, and they gave me the wrong order... which they quickly apologised for and fixed. Great impression made on my friend!
The place can get quite busy later on in the day, so be prepared to wait. It can get quite windy so bring a layer if you'll stay for a while, which is highly likely.
R. T.
Girl at the bar kicked out Asian people because they tried to make a move on a girl 😂….. every other dude that wasn’t Asian got to to say even if they winked at someone….. small racist girl working at the bar, has a issues with Asian studs 😂😂
M. G.
Absolutely love going here especially when the lift is working haha, otherwise it’s quite a hike. The bar and staff are on point - love that with contactless ordering, I don’t have to leave my seat to get a drink. Can relax, enjoy the view and soak up the sun. Also love coming here for rooftop cinema
C. G.
The staff here are so friendly and knowledgeable, came here alone on an early finish and had no idea what I wanted - let the bar staff know what I liked and they went to work and made me the most AMAZING drink ever. Awesome location, you get such a pretty view of the city from 7 floors up. Tasty cocktails, will deffo try the food next time. Thanks guys :-)
J. A.
Delicious affordable burgers (not that big). Although there isn't a variety of tap beers or burgers you come here for the view. The chill music, astro turf, and efficient staff makes this ambiance a delight for any occasion. You can take the elevator to the sixth floor but I recommend doing the step journey cause you'll end up staying up there longer than expected!
R. T.
Nice rooftop, good for drinks, not big variety of food though.
Prices are okay!
R. J.
Popular place, but service and product need to improve. Bartender gave me ice in glass with my beer! I thought I was in SE Asia there for a sec. Asked for another glass, only to find out my beer wasnt cold.
J. R.
First time at a roof top cinema and i have to say i loved it. Just an awsome experience and great atmosphere, was abit cold though. I would recommend bringing a blanket if there is potential for wind otherwise you can rent one for $5. They do limited hot food and obviously a good range of alcohols.
I would highly recommend giving it a go.
Z.
great atmosphere and good drinks, I advise you take the elevator because the stairs will kill you
M. E.
Great little nook to hang out for the evening. Seats may be difficult to find on sunny days, but the cocktails and burgers are great and the bar staff are friendly and happy to chat. Views from the roof are gorgeous. I will definitely find myself returning again.
S. S.
At the 6th floor, it has a view. It is a chilled, relaxed place... what can be seen in the prices too. Besides drinks there is a burger booth.
N. J.
AMAZING service, love the atmosphere and everything that this place has to offer. The view of the city is stunning and every drink I’ve tried on the menu I j’arode. Would recommend place this to everyone I know!
L. Y. X.
This place is amazing, you can definitely get the cosy vibe and chilling feeling here
S. Y.
Great scenic location with fantastic views. Good for groups and they have a burger shack for food. Will come back again for sure when it's warmer. Wide selection of spirits and alcohol.
P. W.
Small and unpretentious rooftop bar serving cocktails and burgers, with moonlight cinema in the summer.
M. M.
Such a amazing Rooftop bar in CBD!!
It's located on the 7 th floor.
Great vibe and ambience.
Highly reccommended!!
L. J.
We had a cocktail each at the rooftop bar. They were both pretty lacking in any flavour. The bar staff seems unenthusiastic about being there. The rooftop is lovely though, on a sunny day it’s a nice place to be!
P. D.
Nice place to sit, chill and socialise. It is a climb if you don’t use the stairs but worth it to work up a thirst!
Busy but not pretentious or fussy. Just a nice place to grab a beer or cocktail.
L. C.
Harry is a legend to customer service! He is bringing old school back the way it should be Ben is also a champ!
M. P.
Great bar. May need to turn off the humidifiers when it's cold though.
M. M.
Good place to hang out with buddies. There was Q for around 15 mins because of covid no of people restrictions.
L. M.
Nice location, however the drink I got was about 90% ice so was not worth the $8 I paid for it. Also the music didn't change the whole time I was there, which was a bit lame. There are probably better bars in the CBD to go to
B. S.
Good rooftop bar on 7th floor. Good range of drinks, snacks available. There is also a cinema on the rooftop.
J. S.
The aptly named ‘Rooftop Bar’ is a bar. On a rooftop! They didn’t ask too many questions when I rocked up really drunk in a turtleneck, and that’s the way I like it. Excellent view of the city, beers on tap, chippies and burgers available to monch on. Lovely little bar on a roof!
L. V.
Came here with a friend for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by how relaxing and chill the ambiance of Rooftop bar is! While the entrance is discreet and easily missable; the actual bar and open space itself is unforgettable! I loved the views and I love the drinks more! I am guilty of happily drinking drinks that are borderline diabetic and Rooftop Bar really satified my sweet tooth with drinks such as their Sandy Peach and Lemon Grab cocktail 🍹10/10 will come here again!
C. O.
This bar is a MUST-DO while in Melbourne. Catch the lift if you're not very fit and don't look down when you clambering the final flights of stairs to the top. With perfect weather this little oasis is a cracking spot to sink a few.
A. L.
The one and only original rooftop bar
There are many rooftop bars in Melbourne, but this is the original and called The Rooftop Bar. It gets busy so its not always easy to find a seat, but when you do enjoy a cocktail – there are plenty of those – and enjoy the views of the city far below. It is a young person’s place but mid fifties we didn’t feel too out of it. They also serve food and for those less able to tackle the stairs there is a lift.
K.
Went there on the 6/3/21 to celebrate a birthday. The host was so accommodating and the service was outstanding.
Felt very spoilt with the gorgeous views, sunny weather and chilled vibes.
Will definitely go again and will recommend to others very highly.
A. C.
Amazing vibe, great views of the city and a buzz that somehow says NYC to me... Fun fun fun!
P. F.
Despite its altitude, the mighty have fallen. Great menu selection and food. If you’ve been here before then temper your expectations. If the sun is shining and it’s your first time - this is a 5 star.
J. B.
Always a great atmosphere, great drinks and impressive views of the city. Perfect place to head on a sunny Melbourne afternoon!
M. H.
Friendly staff, a good range of well-priced drinks and burgers are great. However if you are going for a view you may be disappointed! A shame that the surrounding buildings tower over the bar area.
T. S.
Catched up with friends here. Awesome and chill place. Good view of the city at night. Good staff service. A bit crowded on weekends but that’s understandable.
J. V.
Arguably one of the best rooftop bars in the whole of Melbourne! Great drinks that are reasonably priced, amazing views of the city, and awesome food. Come here all the time and staff are super friendly! Highly highly recommend!
P. R.
What you'd expect from a roof top bar. It has beer and seats. Open area and they brought out heaters when the sun dropped. Burger shack is a nice touch and burgers excellent. Mixed crowd and staff solid.
P. S.
Great location at top of 252 Swanson. Worth the climb. They also do outdoor cinema. Cocktails are reasonably priced for the location. There are a few other bars in the same building.
A. R.
Rooftop cinema starts at 9pm every night except Friday and Monday. Buy your tickets in advance and come around 8pm if you want a good seat!
S. N.
MJ the bloody legend showed his greatest hospitality
N. M.
Great place to go and catch up for drinks. Great setting and view. Can get quiet crowded and hard to find a seat
L. D.
Totally worth climbing up all the stairs to get to it! Good vibes
I.
Well worth the hike up for some beers or 7 in the sun!
F. C.
Good vibes,nice people and Good music!!😀😀😍
O. J.
Amazing place for a drink. Great city and building views, good tunes, people and atmosphere. Will be back next I am in town:-)
F. H. L.
Cool place, but damn why is the music on volume ONE MILLION? Keep it chill. The place is full of chairs and tables to sit & talk, but you're basically screaming over the music.
D. B.
The bar is okay but you're not allowed to eat your burger on the tables in a well ventilated area due to a poor interpretation of an ill conceived state law. It is illegal to smoke in an eating area but the onus is on the customer if they decide to bring food into a smoking area. Daniel Andrews can go continue building sky rail but this nanny state BS needs to stop FFS.
D. C.
This is one of my favourite places to get a drink in summer. Drink menu is decent and they have some interesting cocktails. The lines at the bar can get long so would recommend a cocktail jug to avoid spending a lot of time waiting in line.
But this place is 100% about the view, soak it all up and enjoy than Melbourne summer.
G. S.
Great ample sitting..awesome location, friendly staff, good selection of beers n spirits. Food menu could have more options for nibbles but southern fried chicken is a must've
R. L.
Still a classic but you have to wade through smokers in the smokers area to get to the bar or restrooms. Sweeping city views and a rooftop cinema make this a gem.
E. G.
Great spot in the heart of the city, friendly staff, good times 👌🏼
J. A.
I have been there many times and the staff are always friendly. I love the view and atmosphere.
A. H.
The staff here are so damn nice! They also make a mean cocktail.
B. C.
Fascinating venue. Very busy on a Friday night.
J. A.
One of my favourite rooftop bars in Melbourne
T. H.
Amazing place and really great location this is the bar in this area, i have gone there for the first time with my friends and really loved this place. They serve really delicious food and they have some really good and strong drinks. They have some good cocktails. The staff is really nice and friendly. The owner and staff work hard to build this place more amazing. 5 stars!!
J. M.
Rooftop bar is a place where you sit under the sky and have drinks with your friends. Wonderful venue with awesome crowd. Must visit.
r. a.
We had chicken burger, cheese burger and fries. The burgers are very tasty, the chicken burger contains green onions, dill and lettuce and this is what gave it a nice and distinctive taste. Fries was salty if you ask them not put salt on it, it would be good. What I do not like the service was slow and your order may also be forgotten, I don’t know if it because was overcrowded or because COVID restrictions on the way of ordering online!
D. P.
A very nice place to hangout with your friends. The view was good and the DJ was amazing. Bartenders were very friendly. The prices were reasonable and worthy with a variety of drinks. I had an amazing time with my friends. Highly recommend it.
E. H.
Great new classy bar to go. Especially with so many these days in the CBD. This one does take the cake.
Flawless views and still retains a sophisticated vibe (at least on the weekdays we visited).
Spectacular range of drinks. Cocktails are made perfectly. And delicious snack menu to accompany our drinks.
Staff are friendly and attentive.
J. S.
Great views and relaxing live music make the afternoon beer very enjoyable here. The prices are obviously a bit higher, but there is a 30$ 1700ml jug of some kind of hipster beer that's not too bad. Toilets are clean and staff is nice, there even is free sunscreen at the bar. I would not recommend taking the stairs, that's very exhausting!
J. J.
Also a great place for coffee with altitude and attitude!
G. N.
On a sunny day this bar is beautiful. Can get very busy which restricts seating. You definitely need the sunscreen and a hat. Views are nice. Biggest downside is all drinks are served in plastic cups - no glass allowed. Takes away from the atmosphere when you're drinking good beer from a warm plastic cup.
M. G.
The sign above the bar says it right “It’s all downhill from here”. Great bar with a great vibe. Give this place a go if you are in town.
B. B.
One of the best rooftop Bars in Melbourne
L. R.
A gorgeous sunny Melbourne Friday afternoon deserves a rooftop bar! This is a great casual one to choose. Friendly staff (sometimes more interested in each other than those waiting to be served!), Yum burgers & a great spot. Food menu is limited but they do it well. Half the fun is finding the bar...and when you have climbed the stairs a good long cold beer is much deserved! Recommend checking it out!
T. R.
Good music. Vibey settings and nice crowd. Drinks are a bit exy but it's pretty standard for city bars.
E. M.
Brilliant vibe here. Always seems to be packed- but that means everyone loves it! Great chilled out tunes and massive drinks selection.
We had burgers which were actually amazing!
On a hot day, they put on a light mist to keep everyone cool as well.
K. M.
Visited a few weeks ago when Melbourne opened back up. Checking in and social distancing were enforced, and all staff were wearing masks. Drinks were yum (and not too expensive)!
M.
Climbed 7 flights of stairs to make it to the rooftop bar but worth the hike. Beautiful city views with reasonably priced drinks. There was a range of ages but most were mid 20s to mid 30s. Bring a jacket if going in the cooler months as although there are a lot of people it can get quite cold. Music was a repetitive beat, not something you can dance to but was nice to have in the background while still being able to have a conversation. Mostly standing room only unless you’re lucky enough to grab a chair and table. Definitely a place to check out, entry is free also.
Y. S.
Great bar to enjoy scenic views of CBD skyline with your favourite ones.
1. 1.
Great little rooftop bar if you manage the scale the 7floors to get there! Good vibes, views and selection. The bar itself is unfortunately is a little poorly places which leads to a funnel, but all on all that matters little.
N. W.
A retail worker recommended this place to us while on holiday. Can not speak more highly of it. Great atmosphere, drinks, food and views. Very pricey cocktails but tasty. The place was busy when we went which is a good sign!
R. D.
Great place to organise cocktail parties. I had celebrated my bachelorette at Rooftop Bar and my experience was awesome. The drinks were creative and really tasty! Staff is very friendly and suggest excellent drinks. Perfect bar for organising parties. I would love to reccommend rooftop!!! Definitely visit again.
A. F.
Great place. One of the best rooftops in Melbourne in my opinion, with drinks at decent prices and you can have a burger and chips if you feel like grabbing a bite. It has gorgeous views during the day or night. If you are just visiting Melbs for a couple of days or is a frequent attendant, with some friends or a date, this place is a hit.
S. C.
Best views of any bar in the city, it's the perfect place to while away a sunny afternoon. Can get busy post work, so get there early so you don't have to queue. If you're feeling particularly enthusiastic, take the stairs; it'll make your first drink on the roof especially satisfying.
T. Z.
We have no shortage of great rooftop bars in Melbourne and this is one of the classics. Summer is the best time to be here when the whole bar is at capacity and full to the brim with people enjoying the sun. There is still plenty of people here during winter but be prepared to huddle up around some gas heaters or bring a nice warm jacket. This bar is completely open to the elements!
Also it's a good idea to get here early in the evening because the place gets really busy and it's no fun trudging up all those stairs to the bar only to be turned away. If your around this area you should also check out the toff and cookie located just a few floors below in the same building!
s. g.
Wow🍸🍾
T. M.
Excellent view and lovely cocktails. Perfect for afternoon drinks.
R. G.
Great spot for after work drinks. Be prepared to walk up the stairs or wait a long time for the lift, because the lift is very small and slow. But it's well worth the walk up the stairs, and then you can justify an extra drink because of the calories you burn off walking up the stairs😁
A. H.
Loved it except for the fried chicken. While the quality of the chicken was good the batter just fell off and the ranch dressing was like watery yogurt.
T. V.
Good music, good beers, Cool place, Nice burgers. Fries a bit Too salty though
M. R.
Your bar attended Jacob is by far a stand out, who made my wife and I a gorgeous cocktail. Our only criticism is that that the cocktail affectionately named a ‘Painkiller’ should be named ... let’s say.. something more optimistic... how about the ‘milk of Jesus’ much more fitting for such a glorious beverage. Yours truely. Maxwell
J. N.
Neat little spot for a chilling area. The service can be quiet slow
A. D.
Nice place to meet friends and have a good bear!
E. S.
Waiting in line sucks, but bar staff are on point.
h. a.
This is a fun rooftop bar right in the middle.of Melbourne. It's worth the adventure of finding your way all the way up. It's more fun if you walk up the stairs as there are a few tempting venues to break your journey. Once there you'll find a fully stocked bar, relaxed seating and friendly staff.
O.
My favourite bar in the city. I find myself always going back here despite planning to go elsewhere. It gets quite busy, but with such a nice view and a selection of beer and cider (can't vouch for the wine) you can't really complain. They also do a decent burger too!
T. P.
For a place full of sit down tables with chairs, the music was way too loud. Couldn't communicate only across the table without needing to yell.
Smokers everywhere!!! Even the signs state no smoking on grass areas yet this was largely ignored by nearly every table. No one was policing this, which only promotes such arrogant and rude attitudes from patrons.
Nevertheless, good atmosphere. The best view has Been lost with the re-positioning of the bar.
T. S.
My favourite part of this experience is the climb up and through the staircases. obviously their is a elevator, though it's all part of the emersive fun. You'll pass a bar or two on your way to the top, it's a great little location !
R. S.
Amazing place! 10/10 would recommend
F. A.
Good place to hangout with kind staff and positive vibe :)
S. D.
Went there Sunday afternoon on hot day. It was packed!! Which meant drinks line was over 30mins long. Seems like a cool place just think they need another bar or to get more efficient.
S. B.
I went for the rooftop cinema. Deadpool2. It's not too bad. I'm the other side of 45, and I found most of the patrons on the much younger side. Still great open air cinema and the drinks are reasonably priced
A. C.
Nice for a short visit. There is an elevator or you can take a fairly long walk up the stairs. Prices are a bit higher than your average pub but not too unreasonable.
T. A.
Great place for after works drinks or just a catch up with friends. Great view of the city
T. G.
Was a great place to chill n have a beer.. atmosphere was great and the staff where very friendly. Good place to go with any company. Definitely will come back if I'm ever down in Melbourne again.
H. S. T. (.
Nice place, nice ppl, nice drinks, nice music and that's all you need
A. M.
They make amazing cocktails, especially popcorn old fashioned!! Also mulled wine in winter is good. If you are hungry they have a fantastic selection of small dishes that are just super yummy!
J. D. M.
Service is mediocre at my first visit, its super cold in Aug.
I went for a 2nd visit the next night. This time round, the staff taking my orders is more patient with me as i have no understanding on the alcoholic percentage the bar is able to serve. Kudos to the male bartender with a suave beard.
L. B.
Fantastic bar that feels tucked away from the world while still maintaining a superior position within the city.
Drinks are well priced for the serving sizes and food is accesible. Great bar for medium sized parties
A. W.
A favourite for a drink in the sun on a nice Sunday afternoon. Must admit I've developed a small obsession with watching the tourists flock here for one drink, a quick photo then leave on to the next destination on their itinerary. But really who can blame them? It's a great location for a bar with friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and the burgers are great.
l. h.
Great service, burger shack is great as well.
Drinks on point!
J. M.
Best rooftop bar in Melbourne CBD. Love the fake grass and the vibe. So many stairs to get to the top but the reward is bountiful.
I. A.
Drinks great food ok but staff rude and I mean security. I was thrown out just because of 1 girls false accusation. The fact that there are 2 sides to every story doesn't seem to exist at this place.
My whole night which was going smoothly got ruined.
Not only that security physically tried to push me down the stairs. Thankfully a senior member of security was a little more understanding about an issue over nothing.
So funny how 1 persons lies can get you thrown out. Message to Management; Check CCTV footage
Point blank favouritism in my opinion
No logic in it what so ever. I doubt anything will be done anyway just a case of security staff trying to act hard and cool.
J. B.
If you have out if town visitors, take them here - every single time I've done this they've been thoroughly impressed. Great views, atmosphere, music and drinks list. Also has a small but fun menu with burgers, fries etc
S. K.
Very good spot for a quiet drink or two. For a rooftop bar up that high in the CBD the views are decent but not great. Music is always incredible and vibes are good.
J. B.
While in Melbourne we stopped in for a visit here after hearing alot about this rooftop bar. Good location, nice views, prices are alittle high for food and drinks and there was no rooftop cinema on at the time we were there, however, the staff and security are great and i enjoyed my time there. Toilets may need to be cleaned alot more during the night as it got messy really fast.
J.
A very cool city hangout with a pretty good view over the city, certainly not the best, but still a pretty good. DJs and music are normally awesome and the drink selections are also pretty good. Not eaten here for a while, but it used to be good.
L. K.
Nice & chill places, good to hang out with friends casually. It was my first cocktail in Melbourne but it's so nice and yammy! The bartender was so cool and talented!!
A. L.
Great atmosphere, great views.
T. P.
Really cool rooftop bar (7th floor) with sick cocktails, big viraity of tap beers (within reasonable prices) and a mad view! I was just there for a day and loved it! Can be chilly if is windy so bring up your jackets!
T. Z.
Nice layed back place to drink and hang out good view only catch is the killer 7 flights of stairs to get up there
J. G.
Pretty impressive, great on a summers day for a couple of drinks. Mostly younger patrons, but I felt comfortable being there as an older person. Music was great, not bombastic.
C. L.
Good atmosphere.
Food is pretty good too.
Check out their rooftop.
Once you get there, you'll find a fully stocked bar, relaxed seating and friendly staff.
D. P.
We were there early afternoon on a Tuesday and it was brilliant. Great views, tasty food and friendly staff. Not too busy, but I imagine that changes when people knock off work or if you visit in a weekend.
A. M.
Stelar atmosphere, and a great view
A. M.
went on Friday night, was pricey, the DJs were bad and were playing the wrong type of music for the crowd. it was generally a bit too busy for the size of the bar. only real plus was the view which is mediocre.
J. K. S.
Best rooftop bar in Melbourne. It attracts a really fun crowd and has an incredible vide to it. If it's hot and you have a few mates with ya don't even hesitate.
J. P.
Can be a bit crowded on certain days but it is nice when the weather is nice too. The food they serve at the little corner kiosk is great. The chicken is delicious, paired with the right drink.
h. a.
Very beautiful place with an amazing view and the Greek food is sensational, some of the best I’ve ever had. People were very friendly and definitely amazing customer service. GREEKS ARE THE BEST EVER 🔑😍🇬🇷❤️
G. G.
Beautiful 360 views of the city. Ocasionaly this place has rooftop cinema events. The bar got renovated recently. It's bigger and repositioned perpendicular to swanston street as to previously being parallel next to the toilets.
D. R.
I climbed the stairs years ago to visit a Melbourne roof to cinema - and thought, that's good idea done wrong... I recently revisited and took the lift to see a well designed venue with a great mix of patrons and still showing movies - well worth a visit
L. F.
Very nice look out over the city, happy hour drinks are really cheap. Visited by a mix of different people. Nice vibe!
B. R.
The service at Rooftop Bar was impeccable. Lovely staff who were great and very accommodating.
B. N.
Great vibes and chills. Good drink selection, heaters tables food, cocktails, good views, even get some exercise coming up the stairs, can't go wrong here
V. D.
Came here as the sun was setting. Had to queue to get in but it was worth it. Lively atmosphere, good music and views. Great place for a drink and to relax in the evening.
D. T.
Great rooftop bar. Good views high up in the city and nice vibe. Only downside was the plastic cups for beer and wine.
k. A.
Liked it, great atmosphere, good prices. The only thing I didn't like is that I couldn't eat my chips where I was seated (apparently smoking area) but there was not other place available to sit.
A. M.
Amazing ambience, staff is really cooperative! The kitchen closes early, but other than that it was really good!
D. p.
Awesome view from the top, average city price drinks though it does make up as they do your drinks well and it's free entry.
See the city lights elevated above the streets.
B. D.
5 stars for the staff alone, everything else is a bonus
J. E.
Is there a 6 star button? The literal first bar I went to in Melbourne ( back when they had communal bean bag chairs and people smoked!) I saw this cinema on the roof from the window of my first apartment in the city and knew I had to go. Little did I know a decade later I'd still be hauling myself up those stairs! Sunday sessions with jugs and summer rooftop movies ( who else sees labyrinth every year?) its on the top of my list of places to take visitors to Melbourne and has never failed to be a laugh. Its also how I found my second fav bar, Sec8 as I spotted it from the rooftop and thought... now there is a place with no stairs!
S. M.
Sometimes things in Melbourne change and it's terrible, other times they change but are still good. The Veggie All Day Burger is still as good - though they changed the patty! And it's not on the menu (only the meat one is at the moment), so be sure to ask! Not that a mushroom burger isn't great (think Grill'd), but there's nothing like Rooftop's original veggie All Day Burger with stereo sauce.
D. M.
Cheap and ridiculously delicious burgers
J.
This place have become so cool. Really cosy place and it's a really nice environment. With the improvements since my last visit a few years back the prices have gone as well understandably.
O. S.
One of my all time favourite bars in Melbourne and a great place to take visitors. Not so pleasant when it is packed, but a perfect place to spend an afternoon in the city
M. M.
Nice place, rude staff. Not particularly busy and the bartender spent five minutes talking to the DJ in front of me rather than say hi. You're a bar on a roof, control yourselves.
V. H.
Great rooftop bar, but expect to wait a significant amount of time to get a drink during busy periods
M. S.
Nice decor, friendly staff chill atmosphere
Makes a mean Expresso Martini
J. M.
The view was amazing and the Texan burger was the best burger I've ever tasted! Cocktails are great too!
A. M.
Review 1000, really nice bar, only downside is how popular it is and the number of stairs 😂
P. B.
Nice bar, had a very relaxed vibe when we were there, good range of beers
R. A.
Amazing service, especially from the girl with long dark hair with the columbia jacket who i assume was managing. Great mojito. Stunning!!
C. A. M.
By far one of the best rooftop bars in Melbourne. Awesome views, awesome atmosphere, and a great range of beers as well.
R. A. M.
My friends and I had a wonderful experience in this place. Everyone was so accommodating. Make sure to book a table if you want less hassles.
T. F.
Staff member on was rude and not keen to help. Drinks were overpriced. The setting is nice but that's about it.
S. G. B.
Great atmosphere. Views are not too bad, probably better at night. Friendly staff. Shall return.
C. S.
Best rooftop bar in Melbourne. Food + atmosphere + beats + views + beers + cocktails + movie nights + smoker friendly = $185,000
C. V.
Great place, however the service from the staff is quite flakey... Some nights can be amazing, and sometimes you could be standing at the bar and they never seem to notice you were standing there...
A.
One of the best rooftop bars in the city! Plus they play movies up there at about 8:30pm, be sure to buy tickets
D. A.
Nice cosy atmosphere..only issue was.getring to the roof top bar as the lift was.always full and there was a waiting to get on to lift..could only fit 6 people..hence 4 stars..
G.
Smokers area next to the DJ box isn't quite far enough away if your ordering food via the qr app
J. S.
Great ambiance, very nice location, nice drinks. definitely worth a visit.
S. H.
If you stay to Melbourne few days and want to have a good view in the city, this place is the best! Casual wearing is require but totally worth it
S. T.
New technology is used to ensure contactless ordering, which is great
K.
Good place for drinks, especially when not crowded. Nice views. Check their schedule for movie nights.
C. S.
Chill little place to meet friends at. Felt like a place kid take a tinder date since the seating is mostly small tables. Good views
A. S.
Is a really nice bar at the top of one Hotel in Gold Coast, incredible cocktails, people so nice, pizza option and great decoration...
М. É.
Nice view and vibe, but the music’s too loud. I know it’s hard to believe, but people still want to talk to each other these days. 🤫
J. R.
Pricey but nicely done cocktails. Interesting for people watching; possibly best suited to the metro-sexual younger cool kids
N. C.
Great view, great atmosphere, great employees.
Love their sour beer and fries.
G. A.
Nice and cozy. Staff is very friendly. Too bad when we were there, it was raining and hailing 😁
Highly recommended.
T. S.
Rooftop open air lounge with good crowd, soft music and a killer vibe!! Great place to chill out with your gang...
M. P.
Strange music for a Monday but super nice staff and a really cool venue to just chill and have a cocktail or two
A. “. G.
I love to watch people far down below scurry around like ants with 1000 times their bodyweight loaded up on their shoulders... The Queen ant lives at the top of the shot tower in Melbourne Central
R. L.
Double day burger with fries is the way to go!
H. K.
Nice view
P. C.
Nice and cozy place on swanston street with a small yet comforting rooftop ambience. Go for the drinks. They also have limited food options.
A. G.
Awesome views, nice setting. Prices are a little expensive but worth it if you’re visiting the area.
C. P.
Atmosphere is active, enjoyable and amazing night time views of the surrounding CBD.
J. D.
Busy - Mixed city good times crowd, nothing beats a good roof top!
R. T.
Felt like I had stepped back in time, dark and dinghy no not Dinghy just old, but don’t get me wrong the place had groovie sounds and a feel good atmosphere, very layed back and relaxed staff
N. A.
Nice place, average place.

A little dark on the inside, actual rooftop space is relatively small, decent drink options.
D. M.
Great view, and awesome cocktails. Too busy, and decor was average
C.
Hot when it's sunny, and wet when it rains, but plenty of drinks on offer and food and occasional movies too. Worth a visit.
A. J.
Medium sized, it was decent and drinks were good. Expected more as the entrance downstairs was so over the top.
