Happy Spring! (Yes, we know we’re early.)
The weather is turning, the clouds are parting and we may just be catching our first glimpse of sunshine! We are so ready for the warmth, and to pair with our overenthusiasm we have the best outdoor venues in Melbourne, all in one spot, just for you!
The Sandbar
Middle Park
By the glistening water of Port Phillip Bay, The Sandbar is the quintessential beachside hangout. With bright décor and nautical-inspired touches, this venue sits metres from the shore and saves you a sun-soaked spot on the sand! Boasting the most scrumptious brekkie and lunch menus, you’ll find all your favourites from eggs your way, to an avocado smash, to the Sandbar big breakfast. If you need us, you know where to find us!
The Albion
South Melbourne
In the coveted night scene of South Melbourne, The Albion sits pretty as the classy rooftop bar you’ve been hunting for. With a beverage menu that stretches as high as the rooftop, order your favourite drink and sink into the sunshine… then stay until the city lights kick in! If your group gets peckish, the bar snacks are prepped to be fought over, from angus beef sliders to cheese, potato and leek croquettes.
Abbotsford Convent
Abbotsford
In the heart of Abbotsford, set yourself down among the pristine gardens and historical structures of The Abbotsford Convent. Through the beautiful dappled shade and classic architecture, discover the perfect spot to grab a bite and enjoy the rays, from Kappaya with their hearty Japanese dishes to Cam’s Kiosk with their soups and sangas. Ideal for a wander in the warm, the Convent will get you out into the open air with a smile on your dial.
Goldilocks
Melbourne CBD
Tricky to spot and even harder to forget, a trip to Goldilocks is perfect in the heat! Tucked into the CBD and nestled into the rooftops, choose from a delicious range of unique cocktails as you take a seat and watch the hustle and bustle unfolding below. With share plates of vege wontons and spicy sauce, steamed spinach and mushroom bao, and vegan calamari (just to name a few!), no craving is left unsatisfied here!
Barrio
South Melbourne
In the market for a function? We have you set with Barrio, the contemporary indoor/outdoor venue of your dreams. Decked out with sheltered verandahs, a lush lawn, a chic indoor bar and even an upcycled shipping container bar outside, this is THE space to host a celebration. With the ability to squeeze in 330 of your nearest and dearest, get ready for the event of a lifetime in the summer heat!
Greenfields
Albert Park
In the iconic Albert Park gardens, Greenfields lies waiting to bring contemporary elegance to your next event! With expansive views of the lush green lawns and gardens, enjoy being able to frolic in a little slice of nature only 5kms from the CBD! With a myriad of options that help to make your event personal to you, take the wheel and bring your vision to life with ease!
So as the sun rolls in with full force, grab some sunnies, some SPF 50+ and a hat to seize the heat and make the most of the new season!
