Booth girl was lovely, was my first time in this venue, she explained everything from bathrooms to general bar area and everything in between. Great staff and music and vibes. If everyone has this level of experience I can’t imagine wanting to go anywhere else.
Went with my friend my first time. We were not dressed casual but not fancy. The security let me in but not my friend which is understandable. That’s the rules. But for our surprise!! I took a look to the people that was around and they were dressing very casual. Also the security asked my friend’s ID before telling him he was dressing too casual. Zero professionalism! I am Spanish and travel around the world, lived in different countries and It is the first time in long time that I can see an act RACISIM. My friend is from Brazil and he showed his ID, he was told he couldn’t get in because he was dressing casual. Just be aware Brazilian people!!
The Albion Rooftop: A Chic Urban Oasis with a Spirited Twist **Location & Aesthetics: The Albion Rooftop, perched in an enviable location, is a striking example of urban sophistication meeting contemporary design. Its strategic positioning not only offers easy accessibility but also provides a breathtaking panoramic view of the cityscape. The aesthetic appeal of this rooftop bar is unparalleled, with tasteful decor that exudes a chic and modern vibe, making it a perfect backdrop for those Instagram-worthy moments. **Beverage Selection: One of the highlights of The Albion Rooftop is its extensive alcohol menu. The bar boasts a diverse range of options, catering to the tastes of connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. However, it is notable that the prices are somewhat higher compared to nearby establishments. This premium pricing is a reflection of the quality and exclusivity of the beverages on offer, making it a worthwhile indulgence for those who appreciate finer spirits. **Service Quality: The service at The Albion Rooftop presents a mixed bag. While the general service tends to lean towards the slower side, the bar service compensates with its efficiency and swiftness. The bartenders are not only quick but also exhibit a flair for mixology, ensuring that each cocktail is a masterpiece in both taste and presentation. This efficiency in bar service significantly enhances the overall experience, especially for those looking to unwind with a drink in hand. **Culinary Offerings: When it comes to food, The Albion Rooftop offers a decent selection, though it doesn't quite match up to the high standards set by its cocktails. The menu, while satisfactory for a casual dining experience, might not impress those seeking a gastronomic adventure. The fare is best described as functional – good enough for a snack to accompany your drinks but not the main draw of the establishment. **Atmosphere: The ambiance at The Albion Rooftop is lively and vibrant, making it an ideal spot for socializing, dancing, and soaking in the upbeat energy of the city. However, it's worth noting that this setting might not be conducive for families or individuals who prefer a non-alcoholic environment. The focus here is clearly on providing a spirited and dynamic experience for adults looking to enjoy a night out. **Conclusion: The Albion Rooftop stands out as a stylish and energetic destination, ideal for those who appreciate good drinks, a lively atmosphere, and a stunning setting. While it may fall a bit short in the culinary department and in speedy service, its exceptional cocktails and breathtaking views more than make up for these shortcomings. Recommended for a night out with friends or a chic date spot, it's a place that promises a memorable experience, albeit at a premium cost.
I visited on a Friday night and the place exceeded my expectation 😳 Each floor has a different vibe so you can mixed it up - club dancing, salsa, tango, bachata. I didn't know how to salsa or tango properly but joined anyway 😆 Make sure you don't drive under influence. There are police specifically checking people coming from the Albion after party.
This place is horrible. My girlfriend (who is Italian) and I were there to attend one of her friend's parties. She was instantly let in, they barely checked her ID, yet I was refused entry because of my shoes and bag. Upon walking in after changing shoes and removing a bag I found myself paying some overpriced fee. Then, we saw people wearing the exact same thing as myself but yet I was denied entry. The bouncers discriminate against certain people (Racially) and it's not Melbourne-like. Come here if you want to be disappointed:)
