About The Carlton Club
The kitchen keeps things broad rather than niche — a varied menu built to be eaten alongside drinks from a 3pm opening onward, with table service, bottle service and VIP booths for groups who want to hold ground on a busy night. Wednesday through Saturday the doors stay open until 3am, which is where the Bourke Street address earns its keep: a mixed room of Melbourne locals and backpackers, skewing firmly to the 18-25 bracket, moving between commercial hits and R&B early and house and techno as the hours stretch. Friday and Saturday are the peak, and the crowd is deep on both. Smart casual is enforced, though the $$ pricing means it's an approachable night rather than a splurge. Tuesday closes at midnight; Monday and Sunday it's shut entirely. Some 2,400 Google reviews average a solid 4 stars, year round.
