About The Albion Rooftop
Italian plates and table service anchor the rooftop at 172 York Street, with bottle service and VIP booths for groups who want to hold a spot for the night rather than circle the floor. The kitchen and bar run alongside Latin music and live sets, so the room shifts across an evening — earlier arrivals eat, later ones dance, and the two overlap comfortably. Only two days a week are in play: Friday from 5pm and Saturday from 3pm, both running through to 5am, which makes the Saturday afternoon start the quieter window and the small hours the busiest. Smart casual covers it, and the $$$ band puts it at the higher end of a South Melbourne night without tipping into formality. The crowd skews 25 to 45 and mixes Melbourne regulars with visitors, and it trades year-round rather than by season.
