A brand new rooftop bar in the city of rooftop bars – and this one looks like it’s a beauty.
Soaring 68 metres above Melbourne’s iconic Flinders Street, Fleet will be the street’s newest, and easily it’s tallest bar when it opens in April.
The bar is set on the rooftop of The Vibe hotel, and looks like it will be an absolute vibe, if early renders are to be believed.
The bar looks modern luxury to us; one of those places that is a safe bet when you’re looking to go somewhere trendy and upmarket, with a nice view. We reckon lots of hot people will go there.
As its seafaring name would suggest, Fleet will feature a nautical themed cocktail list, plus local and international beers and wines. Negronis, spritzes, martinis and fun nostalgic drinks – like the seafarers Hurricane made of gold rum, navy rum, pineapple, orange, lime, and passionfruit dominate the menu.
And for something a little different in the CBD, a barrel-aged Tequilla Manhattan with barrel aged reposado tequila, sweet vermouth, orange bitters, angostura bitters and maraschino, will warm the cockles on a cool Melbourne day (plenty of those). Local producers will feature heavily on the food menu, which will mostly be a snack sort of operation.
The bar opens in April – we’d be fleet of foot in getting here when it does.
Go to Flinders Street station, or catch any tram – chances are it’ll take you near.
Fleet will be based at Level 22, 1 Queen Street, Melbourne (on the corner of Queen and Flinders streets).
Fleet is set to open in April 2024 — operating from 3pm–late Tuesday–Thursday and 12pm–late Friday–Saturday.
