About The Carlton Club

Bourke Street’s multi-tier playground trades sterile downtown gloss for moody, kitsch jungle theatre. Melbourne punters pack the booths under a giant wall-mounted giraffe for game-day footy before the venue shifts into late-night mode across two compact dance floors. Ascend the stairs to the heated rooftop terrace overlooking the city streets—a breezy retreat for specialty cocktails and local DJ sets. Midweek brings generous pub dining to the CBD, from Wednesday steak night with seasoned fries to Thursday parmas, letting you eat out on the balcony as trams rattle down below.

  • Kitsch Jungle Aesthetic: Moody, eccentric jungle decor featuring taxidermy, animal prints, and a giant wall-mounted giraffe watching over the booths.
  • Multi-Level Rooftop and Club: Multiple indoor dance floors running DJ sets late into the night alongside a heated outdoor terrace.
  • Weekday Food Specials: Hearty CBD pub dining featuring regular mid-week specials like Wednesday steak and Thursday parmas.

  • Quirky Jungle Decor & Taxidermy Feature

    Patrons can enjoy a theatrical interior filled with plush animal prints, furry decor, and a signature wall-mounted taxidermy giraffe.

    The decor is cosy and romantic, with dim lighting and plenty of red, surrounding the taxidermy and large giraffe coming from the walls!

  • Exceptional Midweek Meal Specials

    Midweek diners get generous portions through popular rotating specials, including Wednesday steak nights served with fries, salad, and wine.

    Paid $25 for a steak, fries, salad, and a glass of wine. The food was amazing! We weren’t expecting it to be so good for such a cheap price but were pleasantly surprised.

  • Generous Pub Classics & Substantial Plates

    In addition to late-night party beats, the kitchen plates hearty portions like sizzling garlic prawns, substantial barramundi mains, and tasty burgers.

    With the portion sizes it was also really good value - the garlic prawn starter was served sizzling hot and had so many prawns, and the barramundi main was huge, with so many chips!

  • Sunlit Open-Air Rooftop & Balconies

    Guests can unwind high above Bourke Street with expansive outdoor rooftop and balcony seating suited for daytime drinks or evening gatherings.

    Great relaxed rooftop in the sun. Great service. Highly recommended for relaxing not overpriced drink in the CBD.

  • fried chicken burger

    Their Friday burgers show up a lot of the "proper" burger joints in the city. I've tried their fried chicken burger and wagyu beef burgers.

Before you head over

Practical pointers for navigating levels, avoiding crowds, and scoring dining specials.

  • Take the lift to the roof

    If you are aiming for the top rooftop terrace, take the elevator instead of tackling the venue's steep five to six flights of stairs.

  • Beat the weeknight rush

    Drop in between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM on weeknights to secure tables and enjoy drinks before peak crowds arrive.

  • Target weekday food specials

    Visit on scheduled weekdays for high-value dinner deals, such as Wednesday steak night or Thursday parmas.
