About

The Arborist occupies 75 Little Malop Street in the Geelong CBD, offering a rooftop bar and restaurant across two levels. It's the most accessible venue on Geelong's Little Malop Street cocktail strip — open seven days for lunch (noon to 3pm) and dinner (5pm to late), making it a viable weeknight option that Non Disclosure Bar and the 18th Amendment Bar are not.

The rooftop opens Friday through Sunday from 3pm, giving it a strong weekend afternoon draw. The food program is seasonal small plates and share dishes, with a full bar running cocktails, wine and beer across both floors. Call 0409 749 489 for bookings.
