Book NowAbout Bomba Tapas Bar & Rooftop
A moody Spanish bolt-hole pairing punchy tapas downstairs with skyline views up on Level 5. Regulars drop in for pre-theatre dining that keeps showtime front of mind—courtesy of a brisk set menu that never rushes the table. The kitchen turns out crisp croquetas, bone marrow montaditos, and squid ink paella, adapting smoothly across dietary needs without skimping on flavor. Upstairs, the enclosed rooftop bar skips fussy QR codes for direct counter pours, circulating house sangria alongside bowls of truffle crisps.
- Paced pre-theatre dining: A timed menu paced to get diners out the door and into nearby seats well before the opening curtain.
- All-weather rooftop bar: An enclosed Level 5 bar serving house sangria, beer, and snacks against Melbourne city skyline views.
- Dietary-inclusive sharing: The kitchen tailors tapas courses for celiac, vegetarian, and dairy-free diners without sacrificing depth.

Theaussie Traveller00 Turnkey Group Gatherings
Large group reservations flow smoothly from open-air or enclosed rooftop drinks downstairs into an abundant banquet dinner.
Booked for a group of 20, started off with rooftop drinks which was just gorgeous. They have windows which can enclose if it's cold outside, and then we went downstairs for dinner.
