From In Transit to Transit Bar
Bustling Flinders Street Station. No one could argue that Melbourne’s busiest train terminal is the nerve center of the city. 100,000 pedestrians scrambling up the steps and through the dome under the clocks every day. It’s one of the most paradigmatic scenes the city offers.
And directly opposite Melbourne’s most recognisable Heritage building is another famous landmark, Federation Square, a complex of buildings dotted around an open-air plaza used for public events and festivals.
For over two hundred years, Fed Square was home to the city morgue and fish market, now it’s a thriving dining precinct with an array of cafes, restaurants and bars, including one of Melbourne’s best cocktail bars, Transit Rooftop.
Perched on top of the most forefront of the Fed Square buildings, above its sister establishments Transport Public Bar and Taxi Kitchen, you’ll find Transit Rooftop Bar. A space originally planned for a penthouse apartment, but instead transformed into a rooftop drinking hole.
With a birds eye view of the city the bar has an enviable vantage point that would rival any rooftop bar in Melbourne. It is the ideal location to sit and take in the surreal surroundings over something expertly shaken or stirred.
