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.

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.

We had such a wonderful experience hosting our event at The Emerald Peacock. The atmosphere was amazing, the food was delicious, and the staff were absolutely fantastic. From the planning stages right through to the night itself, the team were so helpful and supportive, making everything run smoothly. Our guests had a great time, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful venue with excellent service!

I hosted a Birthday Party on the rooftop for 50 people. The booking experience with Leela was so smooth, she made the whole process so easy and stress-free. On the night Drew looked after our group, hes was so wonderful, thoughtful and had great energy. He went out of his way to ensure my guests had a great time. Would definitely recommend hosting a party at Emerald Peacock! Thank you.

I hosted a client event on the rooftop for 220 people. We host a lot of events, however Leela in particular made this so simple and easy to orchestrate. She arranged invoices for each sponsor and was flexible with paying via credit card or BSB/ACC. The food menu catered to every dietary and I had multiple comments on how yummy it was at the nights end. The event was a huge success, the staff were so helpful on the night and the vibes were on all night! The rooftop catered to rain or shine (which helps in Melbourne) I highly recommend Emerald Peacock for any events you may have. Thanks Leela & Emerald Peacock Staff for all your help!

Wow. Had the best time at the Emerald Peacock! The moody lighting, plus the music made the best environment for a date night 💝 Was so so so well looked after, the drinks were fabulous (and the chips with chipotle mayo!!) and special shout out to my server, Drew who made sure we were all good all night long! Could not be more thankful for an attentive worker like him - very rare to find these days!! He was so kind and sweet, and seemed like such a fabulous addition to the team here, I’ve been once before, and honestly can say his service took you from a 3 to a 5! Will be coming back, just for him
