Fairy lights frame the Melbourne CBD skyline while the music stays at a volume built for conversation. Regulars steer newcomers toward the fairy-tale drink list, ordering the Baby Bear cocktail complete with custom bear-shaped ice cubes alongside crisp vegetable spring rolls.

  • Skyline rooftop setting: City panoramas framed by fairy lights and seating suited for relaxed conversation.
  • Tucked-away entrance: Multi-stage speakeasy ascent up an unassuming lift and a final flight of stairs.
  • Themed cocktail program: Playful menu signatures like the Baby Bear and Little Bear drinks poured over bear-shaped ice.

    The bar showcases a dedicated Goldilocks theme across its cocktail lineup, complete with bear-shaped ice cubes and playful signature creations.

    Timed bottomless packages deliver rapid, attentive beverage refills, ensuring glasses stay topped up across the full booking window.

  • Comfort-Equipped Rooftop Setting

    Rooftop heaters maintain a comfortable temperature on chilly afternoons, allowing open-air socializing across changing Melbourne weather.

    Lovely autumn day in Melbourne and the roof heaters made it very comfortable.

  • Secret Speakeasy-Style Arrival

    Entering via a secluded elevator and a flight of stairs creates an adventurous hideaway experience ideal for showing out-of-town guests something unique.

    the rickety elevator makes for a fun ‘back rooms’ vibe if you’re brining anyone from out of town.

  • 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.

  • Peach Iced Tea

    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.

    The vegetable spring rolls were crispy and fresh, and the city view was absolutely stunning.
