Johnny’s Green Room

Down a laneway off Lygon Street. Up a discreet lift. That classic Melbourne entrance. You step out into a sprawling, sun-drenched rooftop boasting killer views of the CBD skyline. Expect proper aperitivo hour energy—the city's spritz-sipping crowd anchors here for top-tier cocktails and blistered pizzas. Ask any Carlton veteran where to catch golden hour; they'll point you straight to these outdoor banquettes under the umbrellas. Vibrant, loud, and effortlessly cool. Pro tip: skip the bar queue, hit the QR code on your table for rapid-fire drinks, and soak up the la dolce vita atmosphere high above Little Italy.
