The Carlton

A Melbourne institution overseen by Gerald the Giraffe, The Carlton is a wildly decadent, plush, and moody space with four bars and two rooftop bars. Cozy up in one of our private booths, pull up a stool at one of our bars, hit the dance floor, or lose yourself under the night sky in our lush outdoor spaces. The Carlton Bar boasts a 24-hour license, making time fly by and every drink feel like your first. Not only does The Carlton cater to a diverse crowd, but we also cater to a variety of needs. Whether you're looking for a corporate function space, party venue, dinner date, or cocktails on a breezy sunset afternoon, we've got it all. So why wouldn't you choose us?"The crowd here can be quite wonderful, almost like a surprise packet of mixed lollies. You might see a few suits quenching a hard-earned thirst, the hipster crowd enjoying the irony of the stuffed ostrich, and a couple of drag queens at home amongst the flamboyance."
