About Lui Bar
Drinks lead here, with a broad, unfussy kitchen playing a supporting role — small plates that work alongside table service rather than competing with it, ordered from the bar on Level 55 of the Rialto tower on Collins Street. Doors open at 5:30pm midweek and push back to 3pm Friday through Sunday, which is when the room fills earliest; Saturday is the busiest night of the week and runs to 12:30am, as does Friday. Commercial hits keep the volume conversational rather than club-loud, matching a crowd that skews mid-twenties to mid-forties and mixes CBD locals with visitors who have come up for the height. Smart casual is enforced, so leave the trainers. Prices sit in the mid band, which is fairer than the altitude suggests, and private dining and valet are available for those who want the evening handled end to end. Summer, November to March, is peak.
