Rooftop at QT

Melbourne


Nestled among the CBD's high-rise buildings is this fantastic spot for a drink, with a retractable awning and efficient heating system. With a green-tiled bar, wooden deck with wide chairs and designer feel, it's easy to see why it's popular. Snack on fried kingfish wings or a burger (vegetarian available) and order the signature G&T made with elderflower quinine.
