Best suburbs in Melbourne to hire a rooftop bar

South Melbourne is a suburb that offers exciting shopping, dining experiences and plenty of rooftop bars. It has Clarendon Street, which boasts one kilometer of shops with the bustling South Melbourne Market in Coventry Street. You will also be excited about its proximity to bayside suburbs like Port Melbourne and Albert Park!

Wedged between South Yarra and the edgier suburb of Windsor, Prahran is a stylish place with exciting rooftop bars, Southeastern Asian eateries and late-night clubs. With its long history as an institution for music lovers, Greville Street has been serving up hip cafes to specialty boutiques since before you were born.

If you're looking for a rooftop bar then look no further than Melbourne CBD. They have it all: secret alleyways; some of the best bars in the world (rated on top ten lists over every continent); fine dining at any price point you want for lunch, dinner or late night cocktails and tapas dishes.

How much does a rooftop bar cost to hire?

When planning for an event, it's always a good idea to have some sort of budget in mind. That way you will be able to know what your expectations are as well as stick with them when deciding on things such as the food that should be served at your party or how many guests can come over before they start feeling uncomfortable and leaving early! 60-100 is a good rule of thumb, but it will depend on your requirements and the time of year.

What are the best event types for rooftop bars?

As you're probably aware, Melbourne isn't the warmest city in the world but don't let that stop you with your upcoming event! Rooftop bars are a stunner for all types of events from birthday parties to corporate Christmas parties that the whole company will be talking about for years.

What's next when hiring a Melbourne rooftop bar?

VenueNow is a free service that makes it easy for you to find, compare and book the best venue. Submit your event brief here and the VenueNow will get in touch within a few hours with a personalised list of the best venues that fit your brief. Once you've compared the recommendations, simply let the VenueNow team know which venues you are interested in. They'll then get in contact with the venues and get a quote with the best pricing as soon as possible. Once you're happy with a quote, the VenueNow will make an introduction to the venue and they'll handle things from there!

Once VenueNow has made an introduction to the venue, you will need to speak with the venue manager about your needs and requirements, and they'll be able to provide you with a final quote. Then once you have decided on dates, times and costs it's time to talk catering! The bar staff are usually happy to work alongside the caterers but don't forget that some bars in Melbourne do provide their own food so make sure this isn't an issue when booking.

If you'd like to progress, venues often have a deposit that you're required to pay up front, typically ranging from 10-50% of the event value. Depending on the venue and your event requirements, you'll then need to pay the remaining balance close to the event date or shortly after.

How many quotes from venues should I compare?

We recommend getting quotes from at least three different venues to compare their packages and offerings. Venues will tend to break down a quote into venue hire, food and beverage packages, and audio/visual equipment services.
