Melbourne Bars

Transit Rooftop Cocktail Lounge is one of those places you wish you’d heard about sooner.

This groovy, New Orleans style cocktail bar, nestled at the top of the Transport Hotel at Federation Square, enjoys unrivalled views of Melbourne encompassing the Arts Precinct, Southbank and the Yarra River down to the MCG.

In the afternoons the expansive deck area draws a sophisticated crowd to watch the sunset over Melbourne and enjoy a skilfully assembled cocktail and wine list as well as a cultured supper menu.

As the night unfolds the dance floor heats up the stage is graced by some of Melbourne’s best Jazz and funk bands such as The Shuffle Club, Phoebe and the Night Creatures, and the Sarah C Band, to name but a few.

Open from 3pm through till the cruisy, boozy early hours, Transit provides all the ingredients for a great night out under the stars!

An infamous lane way entrance and a cosy interior with mood lighting are just the start of your experience at Cabinet Bar.

With professional, friendly staff and a balcony in the treetops overlooking Swanston St, you will see why many make this little bar their home away from home.

Serving delicious share-style food and boutique beverages and conveniently opened 7 days a week from lunch through to late night.
