Her Bar, Melbourne With the mercury slowly but surely rising, it’s time to emerge from moody underground bars and into the sunshine, preferably at one of Melbourne’s many rooftop bars. Fresh air, stunning views and good vibes are on offer across the city, from edgy drinking holes in the Inner North to lofty hotel bars in the CBD and bright terraces by the beach. Here are some of the best rooftop bars in Melbourne, perfect for summer sessions (but even year-round, or during the unpredictable four seasons in one day personality the city's weather likes to bring to the table). Happy sipping! BEST ROOFTOP BARS IN MELBOURNE: MELBOURNE CBD Blossom Rooftop BLOSSOM ROOFTOP Say hello to Melbourne CBD's highest rooftop bar. Now open on level 14 of the Pullman Melbourne, Blossom Rooftop is the perfect venue for after work drinks or for a pizza party with friends. The al fresco area wraps around the 14th floor with views across the city through beautiful glass panelling. It's fancy pants to say the least. Enjoy wood fire pizza, mouth-watering cocktails, local wines and beers as well as those sprawling 270 degree views over Melbourne city. Live music kicks off on Fridays and Saturdays from 6pm, to level up the atmosphere even further. Pullman Melbourne on Swanston, Level 14/195 Swanston Street, Melbourne FABLE Drinking cocktails on a rooftop may seem like an exclusively summer activity, but look more closely and you'll find venues equally alluring in the colder months. At 14 storeys up Fable is one of Melbourne’s highest rooftop bars, and with a fully retractable awning and heaters it’s also weatherproof and surprisingly cosy in winter. Catch a lift up to experience their new vegan and gluten free-focused drinks offering, which includes an vegan milk punch made of coconut milk, toasted rice, sencha, sakura, yuzu and yellow Chartreuse. Lead mixologist Alessandro Nardini will draw on warm flavours, colours and seasonal fruits for the winter menu, as well as spirits favoured at this time of year like rum and whisky. 13/168 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne Pinchy's PINCHY'S Step into the vibrant and inviting rooftop bar area of everyone's favourite seafood hotspot, Pinchy's. You'll be greeted by an atmosphere bathed in both light and shade.

Unit 1/301 Swanston Street, Melbourne Pomelo Rooftop Bar Melbourne POMELO ROOFTOP Don't be fooled by its inconspicuous location up a staircase in the middle of Melbourne city, Pomelo is anything but low key. The vibrant new rooftop bar is inspired by 80s Miami Art Deco and decked out with a mural of colourful geometric shapes. The playful and summery drinks menu includes Japanese Slippers and Blue Lagoons slushes, as well as their own range of canned seltzers and spritzes. Level 3, 169 Melbourne Place, Melbourne GOLDILOCKS Spot the sign above a nondescript entry on Swanston Street, enter the elevator and head to the top floor to discover a quaint rooftop bar in the middle of the CBD.

It may be hard to find but it’ll be even harder to leave, with well-made classic cocktails and moreish bar snacks sustaining you ‘til late. 5/264 Swanston Street, Melbourne Farmer's Daughters FARMER'S DAUGHTERS Respected Melbourne chef Alejandro Saravia has brought his vision to establish an embassy for Gippsland in the heart of the CBD with Farmer's Daughters. Perched high on the third floor, its rooftop has been designed to bring a little piece of the oasis that is regional Victoria to the city. The rooftop bar offers house-made cocktails, curated beers including the Stringer’s Creek Pilsner; a collaboration between Farmer’s Daughters and Stomping Ground, as well as Gippsland brewer Sailor’s Grave and select wines by the glass. 6/80 Collins Street, Melbourne SOJOURN Sitting pretty on New Chancery Lane, Sojourn is one of Melbourne CBD's hottest summer spots. With both a restaurant and rooftop bar on premise, you can easily spend the afternoon wining and dining. Pair delicious eats and refreshing drinks with the venue's cool style, and you're onto a long lunch winner. 501 Bourke Street, New Chancery Lane, Melbourne HER Melbourne Rooftop Bar HER MELBOURNE Dining, immersive art and music collide at Her Melbourne, housed within a heritage building in the CBD that's been completely reimagined into four glamorous and unique new venues. Head upstairs to HER Rooftop – a design-lover's dream with an enviable view of Melbourne city. The stylish space transports drinkers to Europe, with its gorgeous Italian marble floor, French mid-century chairs, and inviting olive, mustard and navy palette. Premium wines and cocktails grace the drinks menu, with fresh Thai sharing plates to nibble on. Rooftop, HER, 270 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne Siglo SIGLO A true everyone's club steeped in old-world charm, Siglo’s table-clothed rooftop terrace is without a doubt a city icon. Perched above the Princess Theatre at the cocktail-loving ‘Paris end’, a sense of European style and elegance permeates as chatty patrons savour fine wines whilst overlooking the glittering streetscape below. For the cigar-loving gentlemen and women have your lighters at the ready because Cohiba Siglo's are the venue's signature.

Newly reopened for the summer, expect bold new cocktails from a reinvigorated drink program, a newly inspired Mediterranean menu perfect for sky bound summer hangouts, and vibrant interiors featuring private booths and a private lounge, as well as an outdoor bar, all blended with modern design and bespoke art. From low-key Sunday sessions to unfettered Friday nights, every hour is happy and any time is right. High-noon calls for lunchtime libations, served with market-fresh morsels, and when the sun dips low, it’s grazing hour. Think wood-fired flatbread and fritto misto met with matching creative cocktails. Late-night DJ sets are ready to have you grooving well into the night too! Be sure to toast to those views that cut across the city and make sure to check out their 'Secret Garden' area. The dress code instructs punters to turn up “sharp”, but in return, you’ll be treated to prime people watching and one of the tastiest G&Ts in town. QT Melbourne, 11/133 Russell Street, Melbourne The Stolen Gem THE STOLEN GEM The Stolen Gem is one of Melbourne's newest inner city rooftop bars. With 260-degree views of the city, a playful cocktail menu and modern sharing plates which include fried chicken ribs, calamari and wild mushroom duxelle, the New York-style bar is a surefire hit for post-work sips. It's also a venue and view worth dressing up for! Level 8, 388 Bourke Street, Melbourne Rooftop Bar ROOFTOP BAR Whether you decide to wait (and wait) for the sluggish elevator or awaken your thirst with a marathon sprint up the stairs, the reward atop of Curtin House is well worth your troubles. Aperol Spritzes, astroturf, and kimchi burgers create high holiday vibes in the middle of the CBD, making it one of the best rooftop bars in Melbourne and a perennial post-work favourite. Curtin House, 252 Swanston Street, Melbourne LOOP ROOF Ample greenery in the form of hanging vines and exotic cacti give Loop, one of Melbourne's best rooftop bars an exotic feel despite being square in the concrete jungle. Tiki-tinged cocktails like the Melting Pot, which balances dark and spiced rum with apple, coffee and orange bitters make for transportative drinking before views of the towering buildings over your shoulder remind you of your bearings. 23 Meyers Place, Melbourne Bomba BOMBA Perched over Lonsdale Street is an attractive rooftop tapas bar that’s a winner for post-work tipples and pre-dinner cocktails, where you can settle in and watch the sunset over the city’s treetops. Spanish favourites like patatas bravas, spicy chorizo and manchego croquettes make for easy sharing over glasses of fizzy cava. 103 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne BEST ROOFTOP BARS IN MELBOURNE: INNER CITY SUBURBS Beverly Rooftop (Image Credit: Jake Roden) BEVERLY ROOFTOP Beverly Rooftop is a luxurious foodie escape bringing the glamour of Beverly Hills to Melbourne. It's also dishing up a previously untouched 270-degree view of the city, with the breathtaking scenes set to leave you breathless - and hungry for more! Don't let that hunger go to waste - the food and drinks are just as striking as the scenery. Enjoy a Southern Californian-influenced menu, with modern Australian approach. Think salmon carpaccio, burrata, barramundi with smoked seaweed butter, and expertly executed wagyu steak, alongside magnificent glasses of local bubbles, finely crafted cocktails, and skin contact drops. It's been years in the making for this intimate space, which welcomes diners in for long lunches that become dinners and one cocktail turned into too many. An unmissable rooftop bar in Melbourne. Goldfields House, Level 24, 627 Chapel Street, South Yarra Skinny Dog Hotel Rooftop (Image Credit: Griffin Simm) THE SKINNY DOG HOTEL A friendly suburban hideout tucked away in Kew, The Skinny Dog Hotel is one of Melbourne's most untapped gems - and boasting a fantastic rooftop bar to boot! Newly transformed to include a skyward space, upstairs is bold, bougie and breezy; an effortlessly cool rooftop bar in Melbourne that's been inspired by the mid-century modern charm of Palm Springs. Snack on fresh oysters with prosecco foam and roasted spatchcock chicken with corn fitters and celeriac remoulade, all while enjoying some of the 44 beers on tap, or partaking in a delightful Negroni sour, and embracing the spacious feel of the 400-person atrium bar. The best part? It has retractable roofs and can be used all year round! 155 High Street, Kew Cityfields CITYFIELDS Head to Cityfields, the classic brasserie style dining destination housed within Chadstone Shopping Centre, to make a beeline for their Terrace Bar. The Terrace Bar has an attached alfresco garden, and is a sophisticated yet casual space offering views across the south-east towards the city. Reminiscent of a European rooftop, this is a refined, intimate and inviting location to enjoy a languid long lunch or elegant dinner, away from the hustle and bustle of Chadstone below. Plus, coffee to cocktails, brunch to bubbles; a Cityfields party purrs all day, everyday, so you're guaranteed a great time here. We're partial to sunset cocktails with that view though.

Eastland Shopping Centre, Shop R10/171-173 Maroondah Highway, Ringwood Rufio RUFIO Say hello to Rufio, a brand-new Latin fusion and 100% gluten-free restaurant, bar and rooftop that’s opened in St Kilda – from the team behind Elwood’s Repeat Offender. ‘Rufio’ originates from rufus, meaning ‘redhead,’ which bodes well for this elegant and uplifting venue – it’s already standing out amongst the crowd along this classic St Kilda strip. Slip inside this beautiful dining space and outdoor jungle for one of their fantastic signature cocktails (hello cherry Pisco sour) and a specially crafted menu of delicious food boasting Latin-American flair with European influences.

Set above the bustle of Abbotsford's Johnston Street, Full Moon Fever is designed to be an extension of the rock ’n’ roll, saloon-style atmosphere Lulie Tavern is known for. Think old fashioned's, margaritas, ice cold tins, and peach iced teas served with a smile, all in desert-style surrounds; an Australian outback nod to the ‘Old West’ style bars in California. They really do make some of the best margaritas in town! All together unique, warm and fun, the new rooftop will also embrace the quintessential ‘every person’s bar’ that Melbourne truly celebrates. 225 Johnston Street, Abbotsford Runner Up RUNNER UP Few rooftops are as fun right now as Runner Up in Collingwood.

Level 2/293-297 Lygon Street, Carlton Golden Fleece Hotel GOLDEN FLEECE HOTEL Having undergone a significant refresh, Golden Fleece Hotel is back with Mediterranean vibes for days.

The food menu at this incredible new Melbourne bar is equally Mediterranean with plenty of seafood and delicious pizzas. When it comes to booze, expect house spritzes, cocktails and a standard selection of wine and beer. Sips in the sunshine have never looked so good. 120 Montague Street, South Melbourne EASEY’S Beers and burgers in a train carriage hoisted five storeys onto a Collingwood rooftop – Easey’s is just about the most Melbourne thing ever. Novelty factor aside, this grungy charmer always promises a good time, whether you’re chowing cheeseburgers at a booth inside or knocking back jugs of Melbourne Bitter under the stars. They do some zany cocktails too, including a jalapeno-spiked Bloody Mary topped with a bacon-wrapped dim sim. 3/48 Easey Street, Collingwood The Local Taphouse THE LOCAL TAPHOUSE The Local Taphouse’s rooftop garden terrace is the kind of place where balmy summer afternoons stretch deep into the evening, though the bar’s laidback, neighbourly vibe finds it busy all year round. Here you’ll see bubbly conversations among friends corralled along by rounds of craft brew, plus modern pub snacks like leek and Gruyère croquettes and black pepper whitebait. 184 Carlisle Street, St Kilda East THE PROVINCIAL The Provincial’s rooftop bar has only been open for a year, but already it’s become a favourite for lazy Sunday sessions. Bar snacks bounce between the familiar (pepperoni pizza, chicken parmas) and the fun (mi goreng fried chicken, charred corn tostadas) while classic cocktails get the remix treatment. It’s even a go during winter months, with plenty of heaters and mulled wine to keep you toasty. 299 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy THE CORNER HOTEL Richmond’s favourite spot for live gigs and post-footy drinks also boasts a fabulous rooftop, where there’s an outdoor barbecue firing away and DJs soundtracks that scream summer.
