Bomba

This tiny bar, located on the 5^th-floor roof above Lonsdale St., sports one of the best views in the city. With a 300-degree line of sight above the leaves of Melbourne’s tree-lined Central Business District (CBD), it’s hard to find a better place to get a full look at the city’s patchwork of architectural influence. The retractable roof and huge sheets of Plexiglas ensure that Melbourne’s bone-chilling squalls will swirl right past your eyes without so much as putting a ripple in your glass of wine. The drink list is long and heavy on well-priced Spanish wine, sherry and vermouth, as well as a couple of simple, well-executed cocktails, a few solid craft beers and some of the best tapas in a town.
