Above Board

Melbourne, Australia

• No.44 The World's 50 Best Bars 2021

It might be hard to find, and only has 12 seats, but there's nothing speakeasy about the feel of Melbourne's Above Board. Instead, its design is open and minimalist, with a shared, central table of American walnut and a feel that's been described as more dinner party than cocktail bar. Bartender Hayden Lambert provides personal service, as well as a choice of classics or signature serves, such as the ‘Not The Jungle Bird’, with orange and lime juice.
