Why it's worth checking out
Goldilocks Rooftop Bar sits on Swanston Street in the heart of the Melbourne CBD. A much-loved rooftop bar, it's earned a strong reputation — combining a great drinks offering with a stylish, characterful setting and lovely elevated city views, the kind of fun, in-the-know spot that's become a genuine favourite for drinks above the city.
The appeal is that combination of well-made drinks, a lively, stylish atmosphere and a brilliant rooftop setting with city views in a central location, ideal for drinks with friends, a date, sunset drinks or a sociable night out. A quality rooftop bar with a great vibe right in the heart of the city really stands out, and Goldilocks has clearly won over a big, loyal following.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,200 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The drinks list, any food, opening hours, weather-dependent rooftop access and events vary, and a popular rooftop gets busy on weekends and warm evenings, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a quality drink and great city views, it's well worth heading up to Goldilocks in the city.
