Spy some sea creatures through the glass dance floor, smoke some sheesha or peer at a celebrity perched up in the executive lounge.
This mega bar has staked out the prime location on Central Pier at Melbourne's Docklands. From the spacious courtyard facing the water you can enjoy stunning views of the Bolte Bridge and the surrounding Docklands precinct. Inside Middle Eastern and Asian decorative flourishes abound, with a massive Buddha head watching over you from above the bar.
Hot step it through to the boogie bar to check out the glass dance floor and see if you can spy some local marine life jumping to the beats under the sea. Alumbra attracts a big crowd of hip young things and this area in particular is packed throughout the weekend. Look out for local and international celebrities who may be watching the antics from high above the dance floor in the executive lounge, which boasts its own wait staff.
Alumbra boasts an impressive array of top-shelf drinks, from Hendrick's gin to Billecart champagne. There's Kirin and Becks on tap for the beer drinkers, and an impressive, mostly Australian wine list, to choose from. Some fine bar food will keep you energised through to the wee hours. For real stimulus, try the sheesha pipes, which are filled with apple- or liquorice-flavoured tobacco.
