Book NowAbout HER BAR
HER stacks five floors of European bistronomie and rooftop revelry into a single, high-voltage hub right in the Melbourne CBD. Down on the ground floor, zinc-topped counters and terrazzo set the backdrop for a serious mid-week drawcard—the Tuesday steak frites, served with crisp shoestrings and peppery pan sauce. Cocktails arrive crisp and dialled-in, keeping after-work crowds lingering well past golden hour. Ascend through the moody Music Room and fire-licked Thai grill at BKK before hitting the breezy open-air terrace, where draft cocktails pour against sweeping skyline views.
- Multi-level vertical playground: A five-level CBD destination layering a ground-floor bistro, intimate Music Room listening lounge, and an open-air rooftop.
- Tuesday steak frites night: A wildly popular Tuesday special pairing a quality cut with shoestring frites, salad, and rich pepper sauce.
- Open-air rooftop pours: Fast-pour drinks on tap and balanced classic cocktails served against panoramic skyline views.

Before you head over
Practical advice on reservations, arrival times, and venue atmosphere across floors
Book ahead for Tuesday steak night
Tuesday $25 steak night fills up rapidly with walk-ins often turned away or placed on strict one-hour table limits; secure a reservation well ahead or arrive right around 5pm.
Arrive early for the rooftop bar
The popular open-air rooftop bar reaches capacity quickly, especially around golden hour and sweltering summer evenings; head up early to grab a spot.
Expect high noise levels in big groups
The ground floor steak night is well-known for being loud and vibrant, which can make table conversations difficult for larger groups.
