Overview
Siglo Bar is Melbourne’s answer to timeless European rooftop elegance, sitting quietly above the bustle of Spring Street and The Melbourne Supper Club. Its setting—facing the spires of St Patrick’s Cathedral and adjacent to Parliament House—adds an atmospheric grandeur, while its menu of premium spirits, curated cocktails, and fine cigars makes it a favourite for discerning night owls.
Accessed via a nondescript staircase through the European, Siglo is deliberately understated on arrival but unforgettable once discovered. White-clothed tables, bentwood chairs, glowing lamps, and heat towers lend a vintage terrace vibe—like a Parisian rooftop dropped into Melbourne’s skyline. The open-air setting means crisp air and city views accompany your drink, while the staff glide effortlessly between tables with classic service.
The bar is renowned for its extensive cigar selection, which can be enjoyed tableside thanks to its outdoor license. Alongside the smokes, there’s an impressive drinks list including aged single malts, old-world wines, European aperitifs, and a lineup of expertly balanced cocktails. It’s a haven for those who appreciate quality, without the need for loud music or over-the-top trends.
Siglo’s crowd is a sophisticated mix—artists, lawyers, musicians, tourists, and regulars—drawn to its rare combination of charm, discretion, and class. It’s open until the early hours, making it an essential final destination for nightcaps or an elevated place to begin your evening.
For lovers of Melbourne’s more refined side, Siglo is a city treasure—equal parts secret and institution.
