Madame Brussels

One of Melbourne’s cheekiest bars by far, Madame Brussels takes its name from the city’s most notorious mistress.

Madame Brussels (real name, Caroline Hodgson) was the owner of a brothel during the mid-19-century, known for serving wealthy and powerful clientele.

This rooftop bar is inspired by the madame’s house, with faux grass and cocktails served out of teacups. It’s like a garden party in the sky.

The entrance is hard to find, but once you do, get prepared for an evening of revelry.
