Rooftop at QT

Dropped in for a sneaky pint on a work trip. Felt more like a cocktail bar than a place for a beer but it was comfortable and clean. Good views and lots of pretty people. All in all a good place for a drink or two.

Really beautiful spot with a fancy cocktail list. The bar manager blew it out of the water with the drink menu, you can tell he’s passionate about the craft. Would come back on maybe a busier night as there weren’t very many people there when I came in

One of my favorite places in the city to enjoy the drinks along with a good view. The only problem with this place is they seem to be short-staffed and on weekends I have seen people waiting for up to 30 minutes for a drink. Despite that the ambience ,the amazing attitude of the staff and the great drinks make it my go to place .

Despite it is a fancy bar, i found i didn't like the food so much. We were group of 4 and chose to go with feed me menu. The very cool staff told us it's gonna be a lot of food. But we went for it anyway. Food portions were huge and at leatcould feed 2 more people for $59 it is a good deal. However food taste was pretty avaerage. The burrata and caramelized onion, it was way too sweet. The onion had a lot of extra sugar added to it. The Tuna was ok, but had a bit of fishy after taste. The fried chicken had a good coating and taste was good, however it was wayyyy tooo salty. And the worst part was steak. Steak looks good and was medium rare, but I think it was sous vide steak with a cheaper cut. The taste was completly off from beefiness. It didn't have any crust on it. The compond butter was frozen and didn't melt completly. So the steak wasn't really good at all. Overal it was a fun night we enjoyed with firends. Shout out for the cool british guy (appologize i don't remeber his name) he was the coolest guy i ever met

QT came highly recommended by our hotel staff, whom I will update re: our experience. We arrived at 2 pm on a beautiful Saturday, hoping to enjoy a fun experience at a highly recommended rooftop bar. Rooftop bar brings to mind something with a fantastic view. Nope. View was limited and constricted. It wasn’t special. Also, outside seating is limited to a small area. Service was extremely slow and the only positive is our server got our orders right. Our group of 5 (soon expanded to a group of 10, as we were waiting on others) sat in our booth for 15-20 minutes before thinking, “oh we’re dumb, we’re supposed to order for ourselves at the bar”. Nope, we were turned away, sent back to our booth and our server arrived amazingly quickly. And that’s the only thing she did. She took our orders and thank goodness we had the foresight to order food at the same time as our drinks, otherwise it would have been longer. Cocktail menu is fantastic and drinks are clever and well-balanced. The apps we had were interesting and delicious - fig & burrata, rosemary focaccia and fries - all to share with the table. After another 20 minutes our drinks arrived 2 at a time (I’m not blaming the bartenders, they worked as fast as they could). Our server periodically came to give us another carafe of water - nice - but we were never asked if we wanted more drinks or food or possibly dinner. She never promoted anything, made it interesting or engaged with us outside of taking our orders. Our group of 10 are all retirees. We were there to have some good drinks and enjoy each other and the atmosphere. Do you understand your bar tab could have been 2-3 x what it was? Instead, our server ignored us for most of the time unless we approached the bar to ask, or flagged her down. The bar wasn’t terribly busy - I will always give grace to servers who are working as hard as they can - but I won’t return or recommend QT to anyone else.

Cocktail, green with envy, was amazing. Nice setting, and atmosphere.

Great rooftop location to begin the night for pre-drink before dinner. Great ambience and city skyline lights.

Not a bad place if you’re only interested in being seen. Minimal and inattentive service from staff who seemed more interested in socialising with people they knew. Damp tables and bar top, and not once did I see any staff member wipe a surface down. I might have stayed for a second drink if buying the first hadn’t involved a terminal wait in a queue at a bar where there were six staff members serving two people. Table service wasn’t an option as I couldn’t get the attention of any staff members wandering about chatting with patrons. There are better places to spend your money.

Great relaxing vibe good for a few cocktails and nibble. Nice place to watch a storm roll over yhr city

A hip vibrant rooftop bar on the 11th floor of the downtown Melbourne QT hotel. We were staying at this unique spot and decided to take in the bar. It's quite big with both indoor and outdoor seating and it looks like it's popular with folks after work. We sat enjoying a glass of wine and doing some people watching-mostly 20-30 somethings enjoying a sunny day. If you are in the neighborhood it's worth stopping in.

Great rooftop. Very nice and lounge. Plenty of space. An amazing view. Not sure about the parking since we walked here. Go in the lobby and take the elevator to the roof. Plenty of restrooms. I love it here. When I visit Australia I will be back. No obligation to buy anything.

I LOVE this QT Hotel and absolutely loved the Rooftop Bar. This is the perfect venue for a cheeky afternoon cocktail in the sun overlooking Melbourne's skyline. The music was chilled yet upbeat, decor absolutely beautiful and the drinks were amazing; I highly recommend their version of the Pisco Sour. I was here around midday on a Saturday and there were only like 10 other people in such a huge area, though I imagine it gets very busy later on in the day. If you're looking for something a little sophisticated and fun then this is your place.

Great vibes, friendly staff and delicious cocktails! A touch on the pricey side but worth it.

Decent cocktails with a nice view of the city and cushy chairs. The place gets super crowded on a Friday night, so be prepared to go early and to be crammed in with the masses. Luckily they break up the space nicely with their table and chair arrangement. And the chairs/ sofas are of a garden variety (e.g. Not uncomfortable and leaning bar hightops). All that being said, I just cant support a bar where i need to stand in line for 20 minutes just to see it. Too many options in the CBD to waste my time on that. And it's Melbourne-- 4 seasons in one day notwithstanding, I cannot imagine this place in the winter.

An awesome place to drink - just don't order cocktails as it we had a 15 minute wait and it was not busy - shocking :-(. Won't be back unless we are drinking stock standard drinks.

Went in what was more of a quiet time but the spot is great. Excited to go back when it's cranking

Had a fantastic time the views were superb and brilliant drinks. Jay was a delight an absolute asset to the business, will definitely be coming back. First trip to Melbourne and it won't be the last Cheers Jay

Terrible bar service, indifferent to customers, no eye contact. Lots of show and little speed. Had to take back bottled beers because Batman palmed off open flat beers from back of the fridge as fresh. If you want show over substance this is your bar.

Even though the faux stone wall was peeling...the drinks and overall experience was amazing. To top it off...lots of talent...including the waitresses. Did I mention they know how to mix a drink?

Nice views. Good variety of drinks. Great staff. Could definitely use some umbrella for the sun though!

ive been to many rooftop bars and this is one of the best ones! anyone living or visiting Melbourne should check it out.
