Book NowAbout 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.

Steve Bintley 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.
Rajan Grewal 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!
