Overview
Located atop 130 Russell Street, Mid Air is one of Melbourne’s newest high-flying bar destinations — a sleek, design-driven rooftop venue that delivers both aesthetic appeal and hospitality finesse. The name fits: Mid Air feels suspended above the city, surrounded by urban skyline vistas and a refined energy that elevates it beyond your standard CBD haunt.
Inside, the space is clean-lined and modern, with soft neutral tones, blonde timber accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows that draw in natural light and city sparkle after dark. The venue flows effortlessly between indoor comfort and an open-air terrace, creating a seamless environment for all seasons and moods.
The drinks menu is smart and succinct, highlighting classic cocktails with modern twists, a thoughtfully curated wine list, and an array of premium spirits. Whether you’re sipping a negroni at sunset or exploring their house specialties, the bar is built around quality and attention to detail.
Mid Air is ideal for after-work catch-ups, weekend soirées, or pre-dinner aperitifs. The music leans toward the ambient and electronic, creating a chic, upbeat vibe without overpowering conversation. A small selection of bar snacks rounds out the offering, with seasonal changes and local produce influences.
This rooftop spot may be relatively new to Melbourne’s nightlife map, but it’s already carving out a reputation as a go-to for those seeking elevated atmosphere, great drinks, and an escape from the ground-level grind.
