Rooftop Cinema

Never been here for a movie unfortunately, but I've had drinks here. It has a nice view and is a cool place to hang with friends. It's an outdoors thing, so if you go in winter you probably want to dress warmly. But it's great in summer!

Not sure if they do it often, but when I went last they were giving out free samples of what I think was their signature drink? It was pretty good!

When here on a freezing cold miserbale night in Melbourne and still had a good time. If you don't mind climbing the billion stairs in heels (its not that bad) then its worth a trip even in winter as the mulled wine is pretty yum.

This is a really cool thing to do in Melbourne in the Summer, there's blankets too if it gets a little chilly!

Approximate cost: $Moderate.

one of my fav summer memories from last year, sitting in a deck chair at the rooftop cinema, light breeze in the air and watching a great movie.
The bbq food is great too!!!!! A definate summer activity!!! I can't wait for the new season

A great place to visit on Swanston St and hidden above the famous "Toff", you wont be disappointed with this venue. Over summertime it features many movies new and old, and when there are no movies on enjoy the amazing rooftop bar with the best views in Melbourne. Be aware that it can get busy so you sometimes need to queue for a drink

Rooftop Cinema is good fun for a night out in the summer. Lots of cool older movies to see, which is great if you never got to see them on the big screen back in the day! I personally think the tickets are a overpriced for what you get, there is not much leg room in the beach chairs even though they look impressive all set up on the roof. Also if you want a good seat you do have to get in early, and once you're in, besides buying over-priced food and drink there is not a lot to keep you entertained or any room really to do anything in your seat (like play cards). They also discourage bringing your own food and drink which is a bit of a downer. Still good fun though, bring a blanket - it gets cold!

Approximate cost: $18

An outdoor cinema on the roof of a seven-storey building in Swanston Street. They show movies that aren't new releases so it's a fun way to see a movie you already know you'll enjoy. Remember to bring lollies and a blanket; even though the cinema only operates during the summer, it will get chilly! Get there early to snag a good seat and have a few drinks.
