A fresh look for an iconic rooftop location.
Transit Rooftop Bar

After 20 years, Fed Square’s iconic Transport Hotel – home to Transport Public Bar, Taxi Kitchen and Transit Rooftoop Bar – has undergone a fresh transformation under a staged redevelopment designed to attract a younger crowd. The rooftop bar is the first venue to be unveiled just in time for summer.
A moody new fit-out by Melbourne interior designer Studio Y (Nick & Nora’s, Rodd & Gunn) has paved the way for up to 250 punters across a huge covered deck area, a balcony overlooking Flinders Street Station, and cushy indoor booth seating.
Executive chef and general manager Tony Twitchett has created a snacky menu inspired by British pubs and nightlife. Dunk pig’s head sausage by Sydney’s LP Quality Meats in walnut ketchup, or wrap your hands around bacon butties slathered with house-made HP sauce. Wagyu steak frites, cheeseburgers and hefty chicken schnitties are also there for a proper pre-event feed, while desserts might include a gooey Guinness-infused cookie with Kahlua syrup.
A music room anchored by DJ booths keeps the party going until late on weekends.
Good to know: Enjoy margarita hour from 5-7pm daily, with five margs to choose from at $15 a pop.
