An old-world rooftop bar that defines Melbourne sophistication.

Siglo: Where Time Slows Above the City

Siglo feels like stepping into another world — one where white-jacketed bartenders move gracefully between tables, the clink of glassware punctuates the air, and conversation flows over classic cocktails and cigars. Sitting above Spring Street’s The European and City Wine Shop, this rooftop institution has become synonymous with understated luxury and late-night elegance.

It’s a rare Melbourne venue where tradition, atmosphere and service align perfectly. You don’t stumble into Siglo — you seek it out.

The Drinks: Refined, Classic and Confident

The bar menu reads like a history lesson in cocktail culture. Negronis, martinis and old fashioneds are poured with quiet precision, while champagne is always chilled and ready. A solid European wine list complements the offering, and there’s a small but focused food menu featuring cheese plates, charcuterie and late-night snacks from The European downstairs. Cigars are also available, adding a distinctive old-world charm to the rooftop’s open air.

The Vibe: Old-World Energy, Melbourne Cool

From its marble-topped bar to the views over Parliament House and the Princess Theatre, everything about Siglo speaks of calm confidence. It attracts a mature, discerning crowd — creatives, professionals and night owls who appreciate the ritual of a proper drink. There’s no rush here, no shouting over music. Just good company, impeccable cocktails and the gentle hum of the city below.

Siglo isn’t just a bar, it’s a benchmark. A timeless reminder of what makes Melbourne’s nightlife world-class.
