I love this place! I had my 21st here and it's absoolutely adorable. I would suggest ordering the finger sandwiches and espresso martinis. The cocktails can be quite pricey but they are absolutely delicious and will not disappoint! Fantastic location near Parliament station. It can be very busy though so keep that in mind especially on lovely sunny days!

Perfect spot for a girls day or night out. Cute and very girlie surrounds. Can get very busy. Nice outside area but it was packed so we settled for a booth which was great for a small group. Love the jugs of pimms.

This place has such a lovely little spot. Lovely ambience and decor. The waiters were attentive and friendly. however, the cocktails are a bit pricey. Worth to try though ...

Amazing cocktails, delicious. Would highly recommend the
Elderflower jug. Expensive and no happy hour but a cute setting and the tennis outfits of the waitstaff suit the theme perfectly.

Approximate cost: $30

I have been hear a few times and always enjoy myself. It is a cute bar with a sizable roof top area. Astro turf every where. You feel like you are at an English lawn bowls game. Very novel. It can get busy. If you can find a spot you will have a good time. They create an amazing atmosphere and I find everyone becomes very friendly here. On a nice summer day you can forget you are in the heart of the city. It is a very chilled, happy place. I have never found any aggression here, which is a nice change for a bar in Melbourne sometimes! In winter they give you blankets to sit on the roof terrace with, and in summer the wait staff comes around with sun screen for everyone. A lovely touch. You feel like you are hanging out in a friends backyard. They have a huge menu of cocktails. They aren't cheap but not the most expensive in Melbourne. I have never had a cocktail here that made me scream 'wow' but I have always enjoyed them. When it's busy, and this place can get very busy, it takes awhile to get drinks. I think that's normal. You go here for the atmosphere and the friendly vibe. Definitely recommend it. It's novel, different and is a nice place to have a drink and catch up with friends. It would be great place to have a date. Cute and cosy

This is a great place to take tourists. Upon entering a non-descript office building in Bourke Street you have no idea what awaits on the 3rd floor. The lift doors open to fake grass and flowers and looks like a 1930's tennis club with lots of white wrought iron and cane furniture and drink staff in tennis whites. The indoor area also opens up to an outdoor rooftop bar. The prices are a little on the expensive side however, the experience is priceless. You can just picture well dress ladies eating cucumber sandwiches and sipping their Pimms. It is a very popular place so does get very crowded and noisy and finding a seat can sometimes be a challenge.

ahaha oh wow i can just imagine that sort of scene, it's quite different and unique - very 'melbourne'

This place is more expensive than some of the other bars around Melbourne, but that's because it is in a class of its' own.
It has a great setup; a rooftop bar with an outdoor garden party/ tennis party setup (replete with the staff in tennis gear on the day I visited).

The cocktails are potent and the wine list extensive. If you're a visitor with a taste for something different, please visit the amazing Madame Brussels.

Madame Brussels is a must do if you are ever having people from interstate/OS. It is one of the best bars in melbourne. It has a great atmosphere with generally an older crowd. Can get quite busy on a friday night but usually settles down again after peak times 5-9. The drinks menu is great, and the bar staff are extremely helpful and friendly.

Approximate cost: $20

I love coming to this Rooftop bar at any time of the year, but Summer evenings are my favourite. Watching the city from a Rooftop is magical in the evening with the sun setting. The service is lovely and the tennis outfits on the staff are cheeky and cute. The Drinks menu is extensive but my favourite are the cocktails in Jugs. Gin Garden is exceptional. The snacks are also delicious and very english. Chicken Sandwiches, Hummus, Cheese Plates. In winter the heaters are brought out and on a cold night a glass of Absinthe goes down nicely. The crowd is a nice mix. Not too many hipsters. You will see all types here. Truly an iconic Melbourne experience

Approximate cost: $15

Love the garden setting- it's lively, cute and relaxing. Great place to hang out with my girlfriends. Prices of drinks are as expected.
