Upstairs

Tucked away on the first floor of 1 Hotel Melbourne, Upstairs isn’t advertised — it’s discovered.

Elevated yet effortless, the bar serves expertly crafted cocktails, biodynamic wines, and a rotating menu of seasonal bites, all within a space designed for intimate conversations and unexpected encounters.

The cocktail list features high-end interpretations of timeless classics, many served on custom, locally crafted, repurposed wooden trays. A dedicated section of the menu highlights Australian whiskies with reverence, with special focus on the legendary Bill Lark, the godfather of Australian whisky, whose pioneering work helped shape the country's modern distilling scene.
