About Good Heavens Rooftop Bar

Two flights above Bourke Street, Good Heavens delivers a sprawling open-air perch for skyline drinks without the usual rooftop pretension. Seasoned locals steer visiting friends here to soak up the city lights over Jungle Birds and ten-dollar spritzes. Unpredictable weather rarely interrupts—overhead heaters, broad umbrellas, and an enclosed fireplace keep the terrace humming right through sudden rain. Between snappy QR-code ordering, the hospo crew keeps rounds moving fast while hot brisket pies arrive straight from the barbecue kitchen downstairs.

  • All-Weather Terrace: Broad umbrellas, overhead heaters, and an enclosed fireplace shield the open terrace from sudden rain and chilly weather.
  • Downstairs BBQ Fare: Pair cocktails with hot brisket pies and snacks supplied directly from the downstairs barbecue kitchen.
  • Flexible Group Space: Spacious open decking accommodates large casual gatherings, work parties, and impromptu after-work drinks.
  • Cocktails & Sunday Specials: Features signature cocktails like the Jungle Bird alongside popular Sunday spritz specials.

Before you head over

Key planning advice for timing, seating, and ordering on the rooftop

  • Account for Peak Wait Times

    Service can stretch during peak evening sessions when the rooftop fills up. Ordering rounds via the QR code directly at your table helps streamline drink delivery.

  • Seek Out Weather-Protected Seating

    Sudden Melbourne downpours or chilly breezes do not have to cut your visit short; look for undercover umbrella seating, radiant outdoor heaters, or the enclosed fireplace.

  • Check Table Sections for Food Orders

    Certain zones on the rooftop only permit drink orders. If you plan to pair your round with brisket pies or hot bites from downstairs, verify your table allows food ordering before settling in.
