Vibe Hotel Melbourne will soon be home to Flinders Street’s newest and tallest rooftop bar, Fleet.

Soaring 68 metres above Flinders Street, Fleet promises sweeping views of the Yarra River and beyond when it opens mid-April. 

Vibe Hotel Melbourne opened in 2020 on the intersection of Melbourne’s iconic Flinders and Queen Streets. Within the modern reincarnation of the building’s original 1873 facade, Fleet’s interiors will balance modern-day Melbourne with a touch of its nostalgic past. 

The design was conceptualized by some of Australia’s leading creative minds including interior architects, Paul Kelly Design (Black Star, Crown Casino).

To complement the view, international food and beverage consultant Grant Collins has curated an expansive drinks menu of timeless classics, signature blends and experimental combinations – all with a distinct Melbourne-style and nautical flavour.  

It features Negronis, spritzes, Martinis and fun nostalgic drinks such as the seafarers Hurricane made with gold rum, navy rum, pineapple, orange, lime and passionfruit. Or for something a little different in the CBD, Fleet will offer a barrel-aged tequilla Manhattan with barrel aged reposado tequila, sweet vermouth, orange bitters, angostura bitters and maraschino.

The cocktails will sit alongside a broad selection of local and international spirits, wines, and beers and will go hand in hand with Chef Asish Kumar’s thoughtful bar-snack menu that will pay homage to Victoria’s best producers.   

Melbourne rooftop bar, Fleet, will open to the public in April 2024 from Tuesday to Saturday, 3pm until late. Fleet will also open for lunch on Fridays and Saturdays from 12pm.
