    Melburnians have always loved drinks with a view – from Australia’s first rooftop bar in 1969 to the rooftop boom following changes to smoking laws in the 2000s.

    Following months of extensive research, we selected some of our favourite rooftop bars and combined them with Melbourne’s most interesting alcohol-related tales to create a unique and memorable experience of sky-high Melbourne.

    Questionably clean public restroom, good coffee and decent food and not so bad selection of beers and ales in the Beer DeLux. That's about it. Image taken from across the street, weird, right?
