Overview
Located atop 917 High Street, Gigi Rooftop adds a breath of fresh air — literally and figuratively — to Thornbury’s bar scene. This elevated venue blends the charm of Melbourne’s inner north with a splash of European rooftop culture, creating a space where locals gather for good drinks, golden light, and a laid-back party atmosphere.
The rooftop layout is open and inviting, with tiled surfaces, lush potted greenery, and a soft pastel palette that echoes Mediterranean beach clubs. Retro lounge furniture and timber stools make the space feel casual and social, while string lights and warm colours keep things cozy after dark.
Gigi’s drinks list is a highlight, featuring a well-rounded cocktail menu packed with refreshing spritzes, house signatures, and classics done right. Expect margaritas, negronis, and seasonal concoctions alongside an approachable wine list and a strong showing of independent local beers.
Though drinks are the star, the snack menu adds flavour without formality — think Mediterranean-style share plates, marinated olives, fries with aioli, and wood-fired pizza on select nights. DJs and live music often amplify the weekend energy, making Gigi a go-to for afternoon chill-outs that evolve into festive evening sessions.
This rooftop is all about community and vibe. Whether you’re catching up with mates, enjoying a date night under the stars, or discovering Thornbury from a new angle, Gigi Rooftop delivers a fresh take on Melbourne's northside nightlife.
