Good Heavens calls itself Melbourne's largest rooftop bar, and the footprint backs the claim. It sits on Level 2 at 79 Bourke Street in the CBD, sprawling across two buildings with room for between 30 and 400 guests under retractable cover.
This is a rooftop built for volume and colour, not a quiet date spot. The team behind the smoke house Fancy Hank's runs it, and the kitchen sends up bites from that sister restaurant from noon. It anchors our best rooftop bars in Melbourne guide and the broader best cities for rooftop bars notes.
The space climbs across two adjoining buildings, with planting, bright furniture and a long bar that keeps the queue moving even when it fills. What's On Melbourne describes it as serving up colourful cocktails, craft beers and a fabulous wine list across that sprawling deck.
Because it holds up to 400 people, expect energy rather than intimacy after dark. For more open air options, see the Melbourne rooftop bar guide and our rooftop bars near me hub.
The crowd skews to after work groups and weekend pre dinner drinkers who come for the space and the open sky. With a capacity that runs into the hundreds, it fills fast on warm Friday and Saturday evenings.
Earlier in the day it reads calmer, with the noon opening drawing a lunch and afternoon crowd before the after work rush builds. Reviewers note it works best as a first stop rather than a late night finish.
