Christmas Day at Transit Rooftop Bar

Christmas Day in Melbourne calls for seafood, cocktails, sunshine and a good soundtrack.

This Christmas, head upstairs to the newly renovated Transit Rooftop Bar, open from 12pm until late, for a relaxed Christmas Day overlooking the Yarra River and Melbourne skyline.

We’re keeping things very Transit: seafood for the table, Christmas-themed cocktails, multiple DJs and plenty of time to settle in for the afternoon.

Christmas Seafood for Two

Swap the traditional Christmas roast for something a little more suited to summer.

Our Christmas seafood platter for two brings together:

🦐 Prawns & oysters
🐟 Tuna tartare
🍴 Tempura flathead
💜 Purple crisps + dip

Made for sharing over a couple of drinks, with rooftop views on the side.

Christmas Cocktails, Naturally

It wouldn’t be Christmas without a little festive spirit.

Alongside the Transit drinks list, we’ll be shaking up a selection of Christmas-themed cocktails throughout the day.

Come for lunch, stay for another round and see where the afternoon takes you.

DJs From Afternoon to Late

Christmas playlists have their place. Upstairs, we’re handing things over to the DJs.

A lineup of multiple DJs will soundtrack Christmas Day, taking you from laid-back afternoon drinks into the evening.

Seafood. Cocktails. DJs. Melbourne views.

Christmas Day at the New Transit

Fresh from a major renovation, Christmas Day is your chance to experience the new Transit Rooftop Bar in full summer mode.

Perched above Federation Square, Transit combines a newly reimagined rooftop space with views across the Yarra River and Melbourne CBD - all just steps from Flinders Street Station.

Whether you're doing Christmas with friends, meeting up after the family lunch or simply looking for somewhere open on Christmas Day in Melbourne CBD, head upstairs.
