Popular post-work hangout for smart-suited city types but with emphasis on booze not business. Drinks range from 18 gins to a dozen martinis but try the Industrial Revolution - a glass lined with black Luxardo Sambucca, filled with Siberian vodka and confectioner’s ball bearings. Decor is mismatched chairs and colourful sofas, be it the main bar or the separate side room. But whatever your poison, the Palace provides.

Rooftop Bar, is at the top of 256 Swanston Street in the same building as Cookie (a fantastic resturant you may see in a future post).  Fake grass gives this outdoor bar a nice garden feel.  Also doubles as the venue for the Rooftop Cinema which shows new and not so new movies that you can view from relaxing deck chair. A really nice place.
