Ellie Hunt Memorable Destination for Group Gatherings
The tucked-away rooftop provides an inviting, comfortable space for small gatherings and celebrations with friends in the heart of the CBD.
We are from the UK, visiting our daughter who lives in Melbourne. We've been wanting to go to a rooftop bar and they chose Goldilocks. I'm so glad they did, this place is brilliant.

The Peach Iced Tea was a standout — a bold yet smooth mix of vodka, gin, tequila, rum, triple sec, peach tea syrup, lemon and coke. Perfectly balanced and dangerously easy to drink.

Before you head over
Practical advice on access, drink packages, and signature cocktails
Finding the Hidden Entrance
Look for the secluded entrance beside Machi Machi on Swanston Street and take the lift to level 4, followed by the final wooden staircase up to the rooftop terrace. If the compact lift feels crowded or slow, guests often opt for the internal stairs.
Pacing Bottomless Brunch
The two-hour bottomless package focuses heavily on rapid drink refills—with staff taking drink orders as soon as glasses empty—while the included food consists of light sharing plates such as spring rolls, dumplings, and fries.
Ordering Signature Bear Cocktails
If you want the venue's distinctive bear-shaped ice cubes, order the themed drinks like the Baby Bear cocktail or Big Bear, and stop by between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM to catch happy hour pricing.
