Looking at the reviews stating that Zomato Gold is not honoured, not too sure what’s going on but when I went, my Zomato Gold was honoured.
🗓 Visited in February 2020
The bartender forgot our order, however, a different one apologised and gave us some complimentary drinks. We used Zomato gold membership to redeem the drinks, it was good value for money
Good cocktails! And great view ! We went there on Friday night! Its located in the cbd close to the hustle bustle! Love the view too much! Will come again!
A little hard to locate on the busy street, but worth it! Went here on a quiet Saturday evening. They had their happy hour on at that time. The service is quick, the snacks are good, the drinks are great too! Would try them again some time soon!
I've been here a number of times for drinks and this review is more about the atmosphere of the bar.
Red Hummingbird is more a cosy bar, the mid-level has a few stools and lounges around in the dim environment.
Heading up the stairs to the rooftop, it opens out to a surprisingly large space with an extended area for smokers, and various benches and lounges around.
With lots of heaters around, it's a very comfortable ambiance with the night sky.
Music can be a little loud but not overbearing, so it's good for conversations.
Large range of drinks, cocktails and bar food available.
Came here for 1 quick drink the during the week the indoor area was not open, I was not too keen to be sitting on a rooftop bar outside in the winter, BUT the manager (i think) was great!
He walked us upstairs and not only were we seated in a cosy and covered space but we also had our own little portable heater too.
Thumbs up for great service...we ended up enjoying 2..ok 3 drinks each.
Pretty decent rooftop bar with the average drink selection. Would give it 3.5 stars overall. Came here on a Saturday night and left around 10pm before it got busy. Would revisit if I'm in the area again.
Was recommended by a mate to try out this place, was not disappointed. An awesome place to kick back and relaxed with a couple of drinks and jug.
Very nice place to wine and dine on a Tuesday night. My friends Blake and Matt really enjoyed themselves. The ambient atmosphere made for a wonderful meal, and the service was top of the line. Really helped me wind down from fighting for freedom.
One of my favourite rooftop pubs where I can observe people rushing on the streets. This place will be ideal for such a warm night when we can just chill and have some wine
Called past this good reliable old haunt of ours after our story telling bar experience around the corner. It’s good to know that when you need liquid refreshments in the form cocktail there are still bars out there like Red Hummingbird that can provide a quick reliable drink. One flight of stairs takes you to dimly lit and intimate interior level with roomy sitting areas and comfy seats. The next level up and certainly the most popular area of the night is the less spacious rooftop which had a very different vibe to downstairs... more energised and chatty.
Cocktails were good and we indulged in the karma sutra and the Red Hummingbird Signature drink. We almost went for a Pimms jug which was available but made a good call with both the cocktails we tried. Highly recommended. They offer a selection of sharing jug cocktails and also do your basic pub spread.

Red Hummingbird was one of my go to bars when I lived and worked a few streets away. Difficult to find without any signage or numbering the red birdcage would guide you in the right direction. It's been some years since I'd last visited and these days it's had a bit of a revamp under new management and the bright neon name can be seen from far across the street. Stairs are pretty much only acceptable to me when they lead to a rooftop bar and in this case you will find yummy cocktail jugs upon arrival. There's also a few intriguing beverages on the list including a jalapeño margarita and an alcoholic chai latte. I personally can't go past the deliciousness of their signature red hummingbird cocktail which is a fruity gin and chambord based concoction. I've never actually eaten here but the food is dirt cheap and seems to be the style intended solely to soak up alcohol, which seems wise when they are offering four shots for $30! A cute kitsch little place but somehow still not quite what it used to be
Finally was able to try this place out & loved it! I like how there's an indoor area with a dark ambience & a nice rooftop area. The place isn't big, it gave off a nice intimate feel. Also the Somersby apple cider was refreshing as :')
The Red Hummingbird is a cute little rooftop nestled away in the CBD. The drinks menu is fairly good and the cocktails do taste good! Tapas on offer was also good and enjoyed by all of us who attended. It wasn't as crowded as we thought it should be on the night we went, but we are part of the "older" set so we may be becoming more favourable towards earlier bedtimes! Staff were helpful and very prompt at cleaning up after people. Will have to try again now that things have changed significantly!
The new management have turned this place around. Great vibe, great range of drinks and food was great. It's something special while also being comfortable. Looking forward to our next venture to the Red Hummingbird!
Only stayed few hours right after work so not very busy but gradually more people mingling around. Sat upstairs: comfy, heat lamps, undercover & non-undercover areas with view over russell st. Downstairs DJ started old school r&b, rock,etc from 7pm & upstairs music mix was also playing. Good, polite, friendly staff (came over with some free nibbles at one point) & had happy hour $5 ciders but plenty of other choices though relatively pricey at normal times. Food menu as well, general sort of pub nibbles. Overall impressed, nice vibe, music pleasant, service good, - would definitely come back.
Great music. Love this place. Will definitely be back !

This is a stylish mini bar carrying a collection of premium spirits and bespoke cocktails. Enjoy a glass of Champagne, a cocktail from the cocktail catalogue or perhaps a drink designed especially for you! We imbibed these refreshing cocktails served in jars.
We have spent the last few weeks in some of Melbournes great bars – most of them with intimate lighting that results in shocking pictures! But if you did fancy a adventure one night you might like to try some of these beauties! House of Maximon We have been hanging out in Corrs Lane for a long time, over the years we have seen many a good night in Fad Gallery, Euro Trash, Berlin Bar and some late night eats in Ants Bistro. But like all good spots they change and evolve and just below Berlin Bar is the eclectic, dark and fun House of Maximon. With the smell of popcorn wafting through the door and pumping music you can grab a booth or private little alcove and enjoy reasonable priced beers, a reasonable wine and I have no doubt some substantial tequilas! The Red Hummingbird A old favourite with a great rooftop for the warmer months and an intimate and cosy style The Red Hummingbird is a great little bar to kick back and enjoy. Strangely only serving Gossips wine the night we were there….
Always humming on the weekend. Favourite melbourne bar with an iconic rooftop and nice bar staff. Can be over crowded with the afterwork crowd but worth bearing, especially if friends from out of town are visiting.
Pleasant, petite. I'm not sure how Red Hummingbird managed to land on a restaurant review website. They're a cocktail bar. Nonetheless, it takes its place on the list of small, eclectic, discreet bars in Melbourne. The roof top bar is pleasant, even in the rain, and the cocktails involve serious effort.
Ben Sanderson might go there for dinner, but i can't suggest anyone else does.
Rooftop bar. A favourite of mine in summer, also great to hire out as the rooftop bar serves as a private space with spectacular views of the city.
Red Hummingbird provides plenty of comfortable seating and intimate spaces.

Setting taste buds aflutter. Last night I went to The Red Hummingbird with friends to celebrate the end of an era.The interior of the bar was beautiful designed, using a colour pallet of warm reds and rich mahogany. I loved the eclectic furnishings such as assortment of bird cages around the room. The atmosphere was very relaxed and there was a DJ playing ambient music (softly enough that you could have a conversation).
The cocktail menu was extensive and after much deliberation, I had a Red Hummingbird cocktail and my friend had a Burnt Orange Bourbon cocktail. My cocktail had rum, guava nectar, fresh strawberries, and vanilla syrup. It was very sweet but lovely and refreshing at the same time. The best bit about the Burnt Orange Bourbon cocktail was watching it be made. The bartender brought out a blowtorch to burn the oranges and sugar which gave it a subtle smouldering taste. My friend described it as a "real man's cocktail".
The Red Hummingbird was the perfect place for a great night with old friends.
Nice atmosphere for a couple of drinks.
Great wine bar with a nice deck up top that has a seperate bar. Service is very attentive.
We bumped into this place by accident. It is right across the road from our gym in the QV complex on Russell Street. A very interesting place. 1st floor is a lounge bar, 2nd floor (roof top) seems to be a Spanish place that serves Japanese fast food.
They do a very nice coffee martini. There isn’t much view from the roof, but its warm and cosy. The crowd is very civilised. It is a great place for Friday night drinks.
Great vibe; music, atmosphere and friendly service.
Excellent selection of drinks and original cocktails. Lovely little hidden gem. Rooftop is perfect.
This place has a pretty cool vibe. Nice rooftop bar. Friendly staff and reasonably priced booze.
I liked the way the place was set up, and the music they were playing wasn't bad.
It was quiet enough that I could have a conversation with my mates without yelling, but at the same time, it was noisy enough to drown out the ever present voice inside me that constantly reminds me of my own mortality and contributes to my growing sense of existential dread. 4/5 would come to forget my problems again.
Was in the city and googled roof top bars and it directed me there. Very rustic and themed towards students. Beer was good and lots of variety. Staff ok, didn't offer exceptional service but did their job. Yes I would go back it wouldn't cross town just to go there.
Pretty solid rooftop bar. I can't speak for the issues regarding the Zomato stuff but if you go into it with no expectations then it's pretty good. The smoking/eating areas could be a little bit better defined but that's a minor quibble and easily overlooked
Very nice rooftop bar! Prices are as expected for such a nice place, but great service and the Asian tapas menu (Japanese fried chicken & Japanese chicken skewers) is very authentic and delicious!! Definitely a summer evening special.
