The Imperial Hotel at 2-8 Bourke Street is one of Melbourne's most storied pubs, dating back to 1858 and now home to a spectacular rooftop bar with 360-degree views across the city skyline, including direct sightlines to the grand Parliament House of Victoria. The spacious timber-decked rooftop terrace is furnished with stylish bar stools and lounge sofas, and is equipped with heating and covered areas for year-round enjoyment. Guests can sip delicious cocktails, savour pub food classics, and watch their favourite sports on multiple screens while DJs and live music add energy to the evenings. With a rooftop cocktail party capacity of 270 guests, the venue is also a popular choice for private functions and celebrations. Situated at the top end of the CBD, the Imperial Hotel rooftop is a vibrant open-air destination in the heart of Melbourne's entertainment precinct.
