Rooftop Bar

Cafe β€’ Bar

😠 Overrated, we ordered 3 cocktails which were $25 each, the 3rd cocktail was half the Size as the other 2, when questioned the staff were standoffish and said that it was the same amount of alcohol even though they had blatantly not made enough for 3 cocktails. $75 for 3 cocktails that was actually 2...

    Mulled cider was nice, service was friendly, drinks are cheap for the middle of Melbourne. Perfect place to drop into if you find out your train doesn't leave for another 30 mins, being right across from the station.

    Overrated, we ordered 3 cocktails which were $25 each, the 3rd cocktail was half the Size as the other 2, when questioned the staff were standoffish and said that it was the same amount of alcohol even though they had blatantly not made enough for 3 cocktails. $75 for 3 cocktails that was actually 2.5 cocktails. Disgusting how much they charge given it's $25 for a tiny drink-complete rip off get a beer or wine instead

    Nice beers and staff. fake lawn brings some Australianah charm. Charm, adds a bit of charm. Gotta be careful, you can over-capitalise. Place is really just a smoker's spot as it's kinda too small to get away from the smokers. Can't believe there are food photos on here.. didn't know you could eat up there... would you like tar with that?

  • 5/5 Christopher D. 6 years ago on Google β€’ 29 reviews
    Very nice place to have some beer. Great place to relax after a exhausting day in Melbourne. The Beekeepers are very nice and even let us taste some different beers before we had to order. The rooftopbar is a very nice place to sit and talk.

    Some troll and his snaggletooth bouncer parter denied me at the entrance? Confused as I was sober, moneyed and well dressed. Looks overrated.

    A visit to rooftop bar is an absolute must for locals and tourists!! This iconic bar is a great visit during a sunny day, but also takes on a whole other experience at night!! Wide selection of drinks and food available

  • 5/5 Brendan L. 5 years ago on Google

    A quickie pint here... TBH... Furphy tasted blah! Maybe clean the lines?!? Quaint little hideaway, tucked within walls, no view. Meh!!. onward and upward to other rooftops🀩

    Love this bar upstairs, nice relaxing space

  • 4/5 T 6 years ago on Google
    Great little place for a pint or two. Arrive early if you want a seat on Friday or Saturday as it fills quickly. Cider selection a tad limited, but at least they still have Cheeky Rascal on tap.

  • 5/5 Kieran I. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely relaxing atmosphere up on the rooftop, good prices for beer, friendly staff

  • 5/5 Glen O. 5 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere for a catch up and a few drinks with friends if you dont mind people smoking around you. It is an open air venue, with heaters. It can get a bit crouded at times. There are another 2 floors of tables and chairs below you if you want to spread out a bit.

  • 5/5 Liam P. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing atmosphere, quiet area which is somehow achieved despite being on top of one of the busiest pubs in Melbourne! Drinks range was good, and prices weren't too extreme for the area. Service was good too, and the staff were lovely people

  • 4/5 Jeanette Hack P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Cozy little roof bar. (Original) Mysig liten takbar.

  • 2/5 Chris B. 4 years ago on Google
    Didn't stop. Not a cider bar now, all taps beer with one cider, currently named the Canadian Club bar. Basically the smoking area for the pub below.

    Awesome venue with delicious mulled cider, perfect for winter. Very nice staff

  • 4/5 Jack L. 4 years ago on Google
    Good atmosphere. Lost a mark for playing triple j radio rather than a music playlist. It was 7pm, no one wants to hear radio hosts talking.
