Naked For Satan

Nice rooftop bar with a great view. Interesting drink menu (like 6 different types of gin and tonics!) and they also have tapas.
Would definitely come back!

NFS is huge. There are several floors to explore here, with interesting architecture and a well-​designed layout. Sadly, this is the kind of place that’s become victim to its own success, attracting a somewhat hipster/​pretentious crowd who appear quite pleased with themselves to be hanging out here. It’s a popular place, and you can see why — rooftop bars, an interesting restaurant and a great view make it a go-​to for many, but something’s lost in the mix. There’s not the same kind of atmosphere as smaller, perhaps less busy places. You can do better than this.

Continuing our food adventure in Melbourne, this place was perfect for a catch up with old friends over drinks and nibbles on a rooftop setting. Naked in the Sky is its official name for their rooftop bar and lounge. Packed to the max on a sunny Saturday, we were fortunate enough to get a seat for our ever growing party. Vodka and cocktails dominated the drinks menu on the roof. An exposed brick wall added character to the space. The only suggestion I would make is to have an area set aside for the non-​smokers. Everyone enjoys being on the roof, but not everyone enjoys the secondhand smoke from other patrons.
The entire interior space from the ground floor to the top boasts old vodka distilling equipment and funky art pieces which adds to the appeal in a quirky way. Specialising in Pinxtos (spanish tapas) and vodka is what this venue is known for. Really odd pairing if I say so myself, but it works. Tapas are $ 2.00 each and payment comes after when you surrender your toothpicks. The quality of the tapas exceeds the price you pay. Needless to say we tried all the tapas.
Definitely a good venue for a fun catchup and a quick bite. This place appeals to a very broad demographic which is evident by its patrons. Will stop by again when I’m next in town.

This eclectic, bohemian rooftop bar is a must do if you are visiting Melbourne. Great views, vibe, craft beers, a creative drink menu (albeit pricey, cocktails cost a fortune everywhere in Australia!)
They have a nice restaurant as well but we didn’t get a chance to dine there. Next time!

3 or 4 floors? rooftop seating has a great wraparound view of the city
beware, the elevator smelled of piss though… WTH? *hold your breath* and docked a star for grossness
service/​/​****
the bartenders were super chill
drinks were made pretty quickly and they were also helpful recommending drinks

their advice came in handy when we had a cousins vs in-​laws taste test challenge
we ordered 2 rounds x 6 vodkas of their most popular flavours and had them guess
everyone else had assorted margaritas. beers. etc. no food though =P

very laidback place to kick w/​peeps if you’re in fitzroy
s/​o to the cozzies! esp alex for being so clutch ;p i invoke HOUSE RULES!!!^^

If you want a table on the rooftop get here early. Come here for afternoon drinks in a Saturday and by 4pm you couldn’t get a table for hell or high water. Bar snack are delicious– definitely try the eggplant wedges with blue cheese and honey and the lamb ribs.
Drinks are reasonably priced– didn’t try the pinxios but they looked alright.
Good place for weekend drinks but be prepared to fight for a place to sit

Came here with my cousins. Interesting décor on the inside. The bartenders were very nice and helpful in recommending drinks, and the atmosphere was very chill and relaxed. The view, even from the 4^th floor, was pretty good too! Definitely worth a repeat visit

I am so obsessed with the frittata on ciabatta that is ALWAYS available here that I couldn’t even give this place a bad review if I wanted to!
Luckily for NFS I actually love it here (much more than upstairs. gruff gruff) the atmosphere is easy and relaxed and I throughly enjoy being able to eat straight away. It’s a great place to meet friends mid-​week when the finger food is still $ 1 and the bar isn’t too packed.

What a view! Overlooking Fitzroy, this gem of a spot is a must on a beautiful sunny day. I’m a little bias as roof top bars are my all time favorite eating/​drinking venues. With that being said, food and drinks are great. Food comes out super fast and is ah-​mazing! Love share plates, especially with a drink in hand.

I have always heard mixed reviews on this venue. However in my experience it is not the worst place to have a long island ice tea on a warm summers night looking over the majestic city that is Melbourne.
I highly recommend visiting this bar if you are passing through Fitzroy.
Great service and amazing views.

Had high hopes for this venue but the terrible service we received from the staff at Naked for Satan really ruined the experience.
We had a pretty simple request that the electric awning above our table was put out so that we weren’t burning in the sun (table of 15), after 4 requests I gave up, way to look after your customers.
Food was average and over priced, dry duck sliders, tasteless chicken ribs. Won’t be returning.

I have only been here on a warm sunny day where we sat on the roof enjoying the sun. You can eat and drink here. The view is beautiful!
Its a nice hip place to hang out with a group. Not quite a «date» venue tho.
The food has been more sharing plates which suits us.

Great rooftop bar n light fare. Incredible view n energy. The staff is very friendly n great.
Our group from Los Angeles really enjoyed this place on a Friday afternoon.

Who doesn’t love a roof top with a far stretching view? Amazing cocktails and knowledgeable staff, they even know their tequila. Rooftop snacks were tasty, charcuterie and cheese board-​yum and the mushrooms were awesome but we mainly came for the view. Awesome around sun down and especially when lightning is happening off in the distance. Plus with cheap pintox your all set!
Never been for dinner, not one to love a wait and no dinner reservations.

Well it comes as no surprise that I’m going to give NFS 5 stars, partly for the reason that on the many times I’ve come I’ve had from between 6-​$ 40 in pinxtos. Yes, at $ 1 each, most times, it’s hard to resist. Also it has marvelous views, particularly at night, from it’s wrap around rooftop terrace; Naked in the sky. Add to this fantastic food and bites to eat and tap beers, wines and also house made vodkas.
In addition, NFS always has a good vibe going on, hardly ever much rowdy trouble, and most importantly no fuddy duddy, stuffy, conservative, hard to please and easily offended pretentious twats that believe in stiff outdated silver service from the daggy 80’s. In-​fact NFS attracts quite a lot of big groups, so at time finding a free table or seating or table can be quite difficult.
The crowd is pretty cool and relaxed and not too demanding, unlike in some other places, in which 95% of the orders are complicated by every iteration of fussy customers’ requests, and a multitude of dietary requirements. This ends up in calm cool and fun service, which means little to no worries or troubles when you either drink or dine.

Wow — what a view ! This rooftop is amazing ! Make sure you are a bit hungry to enjoy the tapas… Only tried crumbed eggplants with blue cheese as I had a big lunch (unfortunately) but the menu looked amazing… especially the jamon iberico
The rest of the bar is quite soulful as well — for both the arvo or at night this place is not to be missed

With a name like Naked for Satan you would be forgiven in thinking that this is some sort of strip club — it’s not, but if nudity does offend I probably wouldn’t recommend coming here (and no, it’s not a topless bar either). Anyway, the rather interesting pictures that are plastered on the wall aside, this is one really cool bar. Actually, it is two bars, a ground floor which is ‘Naked for Satan’ and the rooftop bar which is called ‘Naked on the Terrace’ (though the only nudity I could see were the pictures of the wall of the stairwell).
I’ve been here a couple of times if only for one thing — the view from the roof is nothing short of awesome. In fact you will find that most people end up making their way to the roof rather than remaining on the ground floor, though the elevator that takes you up there is really, really slow. Oh, it’s also a vodka bar, meaning that there is like four pages of vodka on the menu. However, one thing that it is not is a restaurant, so if you want a decent feed you probably need to go somewhere else (they do serve food, but it is really small portions).

One of the top 5 bars I have ever been to in my life. Breathtaking, jawdropping view of the city on the top floor. Super laid back atmosphere with friendly people. Really innovative décor with upcycled items. Huge tables make for communal seating, which make it easier to meet new people. You can also grab smaller tables for smaller groups.
We skipped the first, 2^nd, and whatever other floors there are in between to go straight to the rooftop. While it can get windy, the cold is worth bearing for this great atmosphere. The toothpick «pick and choose and pay per toothpick after» bites looked fantastic, but I didn’t have any myself.
This was highly recommended in my Lonely Planet travel book as well as by my City Walk Tour Guide who was born and raised in Melbourne. Love this bar, love the area. Reminds of me San Francisco’s Mission District.

Amazing views of Melbourne, tasty pintxos and wonderful service.
The rooftop terrace is where it’s at on a sunny day, although you have to order at the bar. We got the charcuterie plate, mushrooms, fried zucchini flowers, calamari, and meatballs between three people, and it was all delicious and freshly cooked when it arrived at our table. I would have liked more bread with the meal, since two bits of bread really won’t go far when there is a whole bowl of delicious meatball sauce that needs sopping up. The portions are considerably bigger than what you probably would get for yourself downstairs at the buffet style pintxos, so you do end up spending a bit more. I think it is worth it though, since the trade off is a great view all the way out to Mount Macedon.
Drinks are great too: the vodka infusions are definitely a must try. You can get a sampler of three, or an icebox which has six. The flavor options are pretty extensive. The house wheat beer/​ale was also quite good (1 pint for $ 11.50), and there are a couple of cocktail options around the $ 20 mark.
Parking is horrible in the area, although it’s possible to find something in a side street, so snag the first park you can in a 4 block radius and walk.

I’ve been to NFS twice now and both timesI’ve arrived way too close to closing time so haven’t really been able to enjoy the place. But my drunken self would probably say ‘hell yeah’ to this joint.
Rooftop bar. I mean, that’s all you really need to know, right? There’s a rooftop bar and rooftop bars are awesome. On a chilly Melbourne night — maybe not so much. But yeah this place is pretty good.
I really need to come back at an early time and do a proper review of this place because by the looks of the other reviews it’s pretty damn awesome. I’d say the only real downfall (could potentially be taken literally) would be that you have to go down stairs if you need the bathroom which is never a really great thing when alcohol is involved. But other than that it gets my drunken thumbs up.

Voila, la on y est! Ca c’est du rooftop que j’aime!
En plus de la vue magnifique sur le CBD de Melbourne (Je vous conseil le couché de soleil ici en passant), et le cadre hyper sympa du quartier de Fitzroy, vous jouirez de ce rooftop que n’accuse aucune fautes de gout!
Les consos né sont pas chères pour le cadre, l’ambiance y est cool et décontractée, la déco reflète bien la sauce Fitzroy. Bref, le bar que j’ai préféré de tout mon voyage (Et j’ai vu pas mal de truc croyez moi)
Ajouté à ça des serveurs qui s’y connaissent et qui du coup vous conseillent parfaitement et avec le sourire et vous avez tout! Les 5 étoiles sont la (dommage qu’il n’y en ai pas 6!)
Si vous faites un tour à Melbourne, vous né pouvez pas louper ce bar!
