Transit Rooftop Bar

Transit Rooftop Bar is a rooftop bar in Melbourne that combines indoor lounge spaces with an open terrace overlooking the city skyline. Visitors can see the botanical gardens and the Yarra River stretching below from this elevated setting.

The bar emerged as part of Melbourne's expanding rooftop dining and drinking culture over the past decade. This shift toward elevated venues has become a defining feature of the city's contemporary social scene.

The venue regularly features live musicians and DJs performing different genres, reflecting Melbourne's strong tradition of supporting live entertainment in social spaces.

The bar operates on different schedules depending on the day of the week, so checking ahead is helpful before visiting. Access is through the Transport Hotel building, and arriving early on weekends can help you find a good spot to settle in.

On certain evenings, the venue offers discounted oysters during a set hour, making it one of the few rooftop spots that highlights fresh seafood. This pairing of drinks and locally sourced shellfish draws people looking for something beyond the typical bar menu.
