Rooftop Bars In Melbourne

In Australia people are running wild onto the rooftops of the city for a different night out in Melbourne. Since the smoking ban, it has allowed socialites to gather and go drinking in Melbourne like there’s no tomorrow and not have to separate and leave their table to go outside. With amazing views of the city and sunsets to remember with friends, head to these rooftop bars around Melbourne for a session or two.

The Carlton – (Palmz Rooftop Bar)-

The Palmz Rooftop Bar is one of the best rooftop bars in Melbourne that provide drinking and nibbling experiences perfectly placed in the sunshine. Imagine yourself perched on high, over-looking Melbourne’s city streets. This place is often at 150 person capacity, day and night. You’ll be transported to a tropical paradise with palm trees and cocktails from bars in the summer time.

The Order of Melbourne

It’s late afternoon, and 4pm is most definitely an acceptable time to grab a beer in one of Melbourne’s best bars. Whether you have been at work or not, there is nothing like a thirst quenching tipple – especially at somewhere special like this rooftop Melbourne bar venue. It can be a good idea to book a table, as this is one of the most popular rooftops in Melbourne. Their cocktails are worth the trip to the top and make it one of the best rooftop entertainment venues. Even if it’s chilly there are ample heaters, blankets and a BBQ to add to the fun.

Madame Brussels

Tennis may be a very ‘British’ sport, but the Aussies know how to serve a good cocktail in their tennis whites. This is a popular rooftop place in central Melbourne where you can easily forget your location while the waitresses in white serve the best sausage rolls in town. Add huge jugs of the fruitiest cocktails and this entertainment spot is somewhere you cannot miss while in Melbourne,

Bimbo Deluxe

Bimbo Deluxe could never be accused of being a shrine to temperance with its great vats of infused vodka hovering threateningly over the enormous central bar, which is one of Melbourne’s best and popular bars. This rooftop bar in Melbourne hosts nightly DJs, ludicrously cheap pizzas and food in Melbourne’s bargain food spot. The artistic decor channels the bohemian flea-markets of Brunswick Street’s recent past, there is more to Bimbo than having a great time. Those who like dim, cave-like spaces will be right at home. Upstairs, past a slide show and along a corridor that takes you past the restrooms, is a rooftop beer garden hosting a huge crowd throughout the summer – perfect for top tunes and views.

The Red Hummingbird

If The Red Hummingbird had a middle name, it would be sophistication. Decorated with vintage birdcages, floral vases and countless books, the Cocktail Lounge on Melbourne’s rooftop bar scene is a place where you can sit back with their signature cocktail and relax. Although they have one of Melbourne’s best bar list filled with premium wine and beer, this place is all about cocktails, with a range of over 30 to choose from. The atmosphere in general is very chilled, with a resident DJ playing ambient French and Latin music to add to the relaxed tone of your evening. However, if it’s a balmy evening and you fancy sitting outside, the Rooftop offers space where you can enjoy the view of the Melbourne skyline.
