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.

Visited The Emerald Peacock with a group of friends, and it made for a great evening out. Located right in the heart of Melbourne CBD, the venue is easily accessible and has a charming entrance with beautiful stairs leading up to the first floor. The ambience is one of its strongest points – stylish, vibrant, and offering lovely city views. We were there just for drinks, and while the service was slightly slow, the overall vibe made up for it. A great spot to unwind and enjoy a night out with friends.

Absolutely amazing, hosted an event here for a Community Gathering. The place was amazing and a super chill vibe, they lit candles and even ended up giving our event the entire floor. Bartenders and Staff went above and beyond and were really helpful when their lift wasn't working, drinks all tasted delicious and we even discovered a new favourite liquor. Absolutely amazing experience and will use this venue again for future events! Couldn't recommend them enough

We had our engagement party celebration on the rooftop. We are from interstate and so went purely off reviews and social media vibes and honestly, this was even better then what we thought it would be. The venue was beautiful and all of the staff were beyond helpful and kind. They really made our night special right down to all the little details. We didn’t have to worry about a thing on the night- they truly looked after everything. A very special thanks to the manager on the night along with the lovely girl looking directly after us and the bartenders who were all super friendly and only added to the fun vibe! Food was amazing and the cocktails were next level! Highly recommend this venue to anyone with upcoming events. It doesn’t get much better than the emerald peacock! Can’t wait to go back again!

The Emerald Peacock is a fantastic bar with plenty of space and a great selection of food and drinks. Conveniently located in the heart of the CBD, the multi-level venue offers a variety of spaces, each with a unique vibe. The indoor bar area has an energetic atmosphere, with stylish curtains around the booths that create a cozy, private feel in an open space. There’s also a well stocked bar, lots of standing room, and plenty of seating with booths and tables. We visited for a Survivor viewing party with George and Johnny, which was held upstairs in the outdoor area. The area was spacious and well sheltered, perfect for the crowd of Survivor fans who arrived. The setup included plenty of tables and chairs, as well as a bar and lots of floor space. Despite some technical issues, the viewing experience was pretty enjoyable. The turnout was much larger than expected, so it was packed, though this was no fault of the venue. The drinks were excellent, and even when it started to rain, the atmosphere remained lively since we were under cover. Overall, the Emerald Peacock is a great bar in Melbourne. The downstairs area has a classy feel, while the rooftop offers a fun, relaxed vibe. Prices are reasonable, in line with Melbourne’s standard cocktail rates, and the drinks are well made. I’d recommend stopping by if you’re looking for a stylish, relaxed spot to start your evening before heading up to their rooftop or exploring other parts of the city.
