A place to party or to just sit and chill in the rooftop. It has accommodation for different age groups. I did enjoy sitting at the lower patio and swaying to the music. If you want to dance then do walk towards the dance floor for some jiggy! I do think they should have more restrooms instead of the current tiny ones.

We’ve visited Carlton Club a couple of times now with Melbourne Working Holiday Girls as part of our bar crawls and they’ve been incredible every time. From the door staff to the bar staff, everyone is so welcoming, friendly, and genuinely accommodating – especially with large groups. The atmosphere is always spot on and it makes for such an easy, fun stop on the crawl. The team really knows how to look after people, which makes organising group events so much smoother. Highly recommend Carlton Club as a bar crawl stop in the city.

This place is a multi tier bar/club with 2 dance floors. We came looking for drinks and to dance and have fun. The place waxxed and waned in crowd size ranging from packed to confusingly thin between 12AM and 3AM. The bar tenders are friendly and gave quick all be it very inconsistent service and drinks. The outside specialty drinks were good and the mixologist was nice but bring a book for the 35 mins each drink takes to make. Both DJs were playing great fun danceable music but the dance floors are tiny the lower level is maybe 2 Meters by 3 meters the 2nd floor is maybe 3 meters by 3 meters. There was plenty of seating and we found spots to rest drink our drinks or even just dance in the areas lest crowded like at the tables. The outside bar had heaters but the seats were all taken and it was too cold not to be under a heater. the roof was closed probably because it was so cold. Coat check is $5 Simply put this place is nothing wildly special but the bathrooms were clean, the drinks flowed and the beats were solid. Very causal good time. The vibe was generally positive and overall felt like a safe environment. We had fun.

Whether you’re looking for an intimate meal, a relaxing drink, or a late night party, you should check this place out - it’s brilliant! The decor is cosy and romantic, with dim lighting and plenty of red, surrounding the taxidermy and large giraffe coming from the walls! It certainly gives plenty to admire while sat in one of the booths or many standard tables around the bar. All the staff are really friendly and even when it’s busy service for drinks is quick. I decided to check out the restaurant in the evening and was very impressed. There’s not many tables which allows the staff to be super attentive. 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! There certainly wasn’t a need for desert here! Everything was super tasty too and even the wine options were reasonable. As a late night club it remains a really enjoyable venue - great music with the DJ, fast bar service with good prices and open into the very early hours. It was one of my favourite spots in the city centre and I will be returning again.
