Why it's worth checking out
The Emerson sits on Commercial Road in South Yarra, one of Melbourne's stylish inner-south suburbs. With a big 999 reviews behind its 3.6 rating, it's a well-established nightlife spot.
The appeal is a rooftop bar and club with a big following — a great spot for a drink, a night out and a bit of atmosphere, a genuine part of the South Yarra scene. Its location makes it an easy and welcoming destination.
Drinks lists, events and trading hours change over time, and it gets busy on weekends. To be sure of a spot and the latest details, it's worth checking directly with the venue before you plan your visit.
