Five storeys up, this compact open-air bar offers fruit-forward cocktails and punchy, barbecue-driven Thai food from downstairs sibling BKK.

HER Rooftop: Where the City Comes to Toast

Perched above Melbourne’s CBD in heritage-listed Pacific House, HER Rooftop crowns the five-storey Warner Lane precinct with sweeping views, bold design and rooftop energy. Built in 1903 and reborn in 2022 via the HQ Group (of Arbory & Eatery fame), the space sweeps you from multi-level destination into open sky. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

What to Order

Go for a summer-style spritz or tequila-forward cocktail to set the tone, then dig into Thai-inspired barbecue plates courtesy of sister venue BKK. Think pork skewers, charred chicken wings and zingy som-tum salads served in a breezy rooftop setting. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

The Vibe

Imagine garden-party glamour above Lonsdale Street: orange velvet banquettes, Italian marble floors and Paris-style skirted bar stools meet retractable awnings and glass balustrades that frame city light after dark. The energy rises past sunset and the crowd shifts seamlessly from sundowners to late-night lounge. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
