The Emerald Peacock is the ultimate representation of a classic Melbourne bar– tucked away from public view but reaching the skies with a vibrant rooftop. Whether you’re relaxing inside in an intimate booth or sipping cocktails on the bustling rooftop, The Emerald Peacock is truly an all-season destination. Consisting of a cocktail bar, lounge, and rooftop bar – each with its own distinct ambience – The Emerald Peacock is a bit of an all-round crowd pleaser, particularly with the city after-work crowd. The venue’s Cocktail Bar does well to create a sense of vintage French charm, combining vintage foil wallpaper with lots of warm wood panelling. It all adds a touch of delicacy to an otherwise modern bar fit-out. Downstairs, the Peacock Lounge can be found. Bolder than its upstairs neighbour, this space is dark and sumptuous in decor; think luxe crushed velvets married with bold prints and Louis XV chairs. As with upstairs, there is no shortage of space – high-top tables sit comfortably apart from more private booth-type seating. Food as well as drinks can be enjoyed in the Lounge, with a range of pizzas and share plates to choose from. If a room with a view is sought, then one can’t go wrong with the Peacock’s Rooftop. Bringing the whole stylised bar approach down a notch, the Rooftop is a modestly decorated space, happily allowing the skyline views to do all the talking.
The Emerald Peacock prides itself in its cocktail offerings. A small but interesting number of originals can be sampled including their signature drinks 'Cupid's Daisy – a refreshing combination of Galliano Vanilla, Pomegranate, Rose Syrup, Aperol, Lemon & Egg Whites. Craft beers such as Sample Lager, Two Birds Pale Ale and Colonial IPA are all available on tap as well as a selection of Australian wines. Functions are catered for at The Emerald Peacock, with the reservation of booths in the Peacock Lounge being a popular option for small-sized groups of 10 people and rooftop reservations popular for larger groups of 15 + people. DJs are a weekend feature at the Peacock, creating a chilled party vibe. The Emerald Peacock is situated on Lonsdale Street in the CBD. Swanston and La Trobe Street trams are extremely close by, as is Melbourne Central train station.
This function venue is the perfect venue for celebrations of all sizes, from intimate gatherings to larger parties. With its versatile event spaces, The Emerald Peacock can accommodate everything from milestone birthdays to corporate events, providing an elegant backdrop for any occasion.

From the very first point of contact, to working out the finer details and finally the event itself I could not have felt more at peace with my decision to choose The Emerald Peacock. The staff were amazing during booking, the venue itself is stunning and more than happy to accomodate anything and everything I threw at them through my indecisiveness. They then made sure that I knew what the plan was and that myself and all my guests had the best time. All of my guests commented on how beautiful everything was, how incredible the food was (especially the tarts) and just how fantastic the layout was. Absolutely had a ball.

A wonderful experience, with bespoke cocktails, great variety of canapes and non intrusive service. A very stylish, yet relaxing venue. Thank you Leela, Dave and team, 17/08/25.

I've had the pleasure of spending time at the emerald peacock on a few occasions now, both have been enjoyable. It's more of an upper class bar than a regular one, so be sure to dress appropriately and wear a collared shirt where possible.
