Stingray’s is our upstairs cocktail saloon — a moody, intimate cocktail bar Melbourne locals duck into when the night calls for something a little sharper. Think polished pours, good tunes and just enough swagger. Perfect for weekend catch-ups, date nights, celebrations or late-night drinks that turn into stories worth retelling.
Stingrays upstairs cocktail saloon
Head upstairs to Stingrays on the weekend, Bodriggy’s intimate 70s-style bougie-bogan cocktail den, where high-end Australiana is revered and celebrated + DJs spinning every Saturday.
A small saloon (hosts a tidy 70pax), Stingrays lends itself to private corners with friends and a dancefloor on the weekend, epic gigs on the mezzanine, quiet cocktails and private events.
Natural light streams in through a large skylight during the day and tactfully darkens to make room for the glistening disco ball, kitsch floral wallpaper, green velvet banquette and chandeliers. A mezzanine looks down onto a DJ booth and the timber-clad bar.
A small snack menu is available, alongside cocktails, fresh froff and wine.
A night out with friends
Stingrays is made for nights that start casual and roll on effortlessly. Grab a booth, order a round of cocktails and settle in while the DJ sets the tone. Our secret dancefloor is a local spot where Melbourne’s finest DJs regularly play! It’s social without being shouty, lively without losing its edge. If you’re planning a Friday or Saturday night, booking a table at this cocktail bar Melbourne drinkers love is the easiest way to lock in your spot upstairs.
Celebrate special occasions upstairs
Got something worth celebrating? Stingrays is ideal for birthdays, anniversaries and small group get-togethers that deserve better than a standard bar table. The space lends itself to cosy corners, shared rounds and a dancefloor that comes alive later in the night. For intimate events with great drinks, good music and a bit of attitude, Stingrays hits the sweet spot. Enquiries are welcome for group bookings and private use.
Sip while you listen: live music evenings
Weekends at Stingrays come with a soundtrack. DJs spin every Saturday, and occasional live gigs bring extra energy to the room without tipping into nightclub territory. It’s what makes Stingrays a go-to spot for live music and cocktails in Melbourne. Drinks flow, the disco ball glints, and the vibe lifts as the night rolls on. Tables fill fast on music nights, so booking ahead is always a smart move.
