Putting Together a Melbourne 30th Birthday

A 30th in Melbourne tends to land somewhere between a big night out and a sit-down with close friends, and the city's rooftops cover the in-between well. Good Heavens above Bourke Street books zones for 30 to 60 or the whole rooftop for 400, From $37 per person. Rooftop @ State of Grace on King Street takes a section or up to 200 exclusively, From $40 per person, and Menta @ Bomba gives you the whole fifth-floor rooftop for up to 110, From $35 per person. North of the river, the Rooftop Bar @ The Cornish Arms in Brunswick is covered and heated, with food From $25 per person.

Smaller groups often prefer a private room. The Cellar Bar @ Grace Darling Hotel in Collingwood is a bluestone cellar, private bar included, holding up to 60, From $2,000 minimum spend, and Saint & Rogue on Little Collins Street has an upstairs Loft with a bar of its own, From $36 per person.

Ways to give a 30th a focus beyond drinks:

  • A tasting: Little Lon Distilling Co. in the CBD (From $95 per person) or Starward Distillery & Bar in Port Melbourne (From $49 per person)
  • A quiz with buzzers: Quiz Room Melbourne in West Melbourne, From $40 per person
  • A cocktail class: Eau De Vie Melbourne off Flinders Lane, Bar 1806 on Exhibition Street (From $70 per person) or Polly Bar in Fitzroy (From $85 per person)
