Curtin House

This six-storey building houses some of Melbourne's most interesting tenants. There's Metropolis specialist bookshop, Human Salon the hairdresser, bar/restaurants Cookie and Mesa Verde, high fashion mavens Dot Comme, Melbourne's crowning glory Rooftop Bar and plenty more. Not to mention the Toff in Town, arguably the swankiest bar in this vertical lane, with a private booth bar to the left of the stairway and the excellent band space to the right. Visitors can practically get the full Melbourne experience without setting foot outside the building.
