Father’s Day at Fleet Rooftop Bar

Looking for a Father’s Day celebration that goes beyond the traditional Sunday roast? Fleet Rooftop Bar is taking things sky-high with a memorable afternoon of great food, spectacular Melbourne views and an experience the whole family can enjoy.

This Father’s Day, families are invited to head 22 levels above Melbourne to Fleet Rooftop Bar for an elevated celebration designed to bring dads and their loved ones together.

Perched atop Vibe Hotel Melbourne in the CBD, Fleet is Flinders Street’s tallest rooftop bar, offering sweeping views across Melbourne and the Yarra River. The venue’s contemporary setting and subtle nods to Melbourne’s maritime heritage provide an impressive backdrop for a special family occasion.

Taking place on Sunday 6 September from 12pm to 3pm, Fleet’s Father’s Day experience combines dining with a little hands-on fun. The afternoon begins with an interactive lesson in the lost art of knot tying, giving families the chance to learn a selection of useful knots with guidance from an expert. It is a playful nod to Fleet’s maritime-inspired identity and a chance for dads, kids and the wider family to learn something new together.

Then it’s time to settle in for a generous share-style feast.

The menu opens with Sydney Rock oysters and crispy salt & pepper calamari, before moving on to hearty mains including slow-cooked lamb shoulder and dry-aged O’Connor rib eye. These are accompanied by duck fat roast potatoes and charred broccolini, making for the kind of relaxed, abundant feast that encourages everyone at the table to share and linger.

Dessert brings the afternoon to a suitably indulgent close with a chocolate moon, combining velvety chocolate mousse with hazelnut crumble.

But the food isn’t the only keepsake guests will take home. Throughout the lunch, families can have a professional family portrait taken against Melbourne’s iconic skyline, with the complimentary photograph providing a thoughtful memento of the day.

Priced at $85 per person, the Father’s Day experience includes the knot-tying workshop, share-style lunch and complimentary family portrait.

With its impressive city views, relaxed yet stylish setting and an experience that encourages families to spend quality time together, Fleet offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional Father’s Day lunch.

For those looking to make Dad feel extra special this year, Fleet Rooftop Bar is a Father’s Day destination worth raising a glass to.
