If you will find one particular factor a town won’t be able to have far too a lot of of, it can be rooftop bars. Specifically rooftop bars created by the guys powering Arbory and Arbory Afloat, with plates of barbecue Thai food stuff and epic sights of Melbourne’s CBD.
Welcome to HER Rooftop, Melbourne’s latest sky-large hospo joint. This is the top flooring of the hotly anticipated HER – a 4-storey mega-location from the Arbory fellas, which has been in progress given that December 2020 and formally opened this month.

There is an all-working day French diner on the floor flooring. A dedicated ‘listening bar’ on Degree 2. A sizzling Thai BBQ canteen over that. And finally HER Rooftop, a cocktail bar-slash garden terrace designed by Melbourne-born, Sydney-centered Tamsin Johnson.
HER Rooftop appears to be like like an previous-planet European garden party that is been plonked down on a Melbourne rooftop. There are wrought-iron tables and chairs, a geometric Italian marble flooring, lush green planter boxes everywhere you go and colour-packed wall tiles. Even the bar at the back is speccy, with a custom made zinc coating, brass detailing and 3 arched rose-tinted mirrors (so you can verify by yourself out though ready for your handmade digestif).
“The solar-washed hues embody the temper of HER a scene that may possibly determine the mood of our attendees with an evocative perception of romance and light-heartedness, like players on a stage,” suggests Johnson.
You can squeeze 120 guests up right here, and you will find a lot for them to consume. HER Rooftop will be open until 1:00am each and every night time, slinging a cautiously curated blend of cocktails and spirits. The focus looks to be on boutique tequila and gins, which is a recipe for a massive night appropriate there, but you can also get burnt pineapple margaritas, pink grapefruit Palomas, or a combine of Euro aperitifs.

To soak up the booze, you have acquired Thai barbecue from BKK downstairs. Expect hulking fried hen sandwiches with Som Tum and sweet chilli, a variety of laab (the vegan laab with crispy eggplant is our individual fave), and southern rice salad.
“HER Rooftop could be a lovely terrace in Europe, miles away, but it truly is in the coronary heart of Melbourne. We want to transportation friends, in our playful European-influenced interiors, whether or not it be around a cocktail, lunch or sunset session,” suggests Matt Thomas, HER’s General Manager.
HER and HER Rooftop are open for business enterprise. You can find them at 270 Lonsdale Street in Melbourne, within the old Federation Creating. HER Rooftop is open from 11:30am to 1:00am, seven times a week.
