Top of The Town

Top of The Town is a strip club, not a brothel. It is an adult entertainment venue at 516–518 Flinders Street, Melbourne, at the western end of the CBD. If you are looking for a brothel in central Melbourne, this is not it — see the Melbourne listings for venues that are.

Where it is and how to get there

The venue sits on Flinders Street near the corner of Spencer Street, directly opposite the Southern Cross Station precinct and a short walk from the Melbourne Convention Centre and Crown. That puts it in one of the easiest parts of the city to reach on public transport: Southern Cross serves regional V/Line and metropolitan trains, and Flinders Street trams run past the door. Free parking is offered, which is genuinely unusual for a CBD address.

Opening hours

Weekend trading runs until 8:00am, which makes it one of the later-closing adult venues in the Melbourne CBD. Call +61 3 9614 1414 to confirm, as licensed trading hours can change.

Facilities

• Free parking
• LGBTQ+ friendly

What the reviews say

Top of The Town holds a 3.4 out of 5 rating on Google from 100 reviews. A hundred reviews is a substantial sample by the standards of this directory, so the 3.4 is a reasonably reliable reflection of general opinion rather than a figure that a handful of ratings could shift. Strip clubs in particular attract polarised reviews around door policy, drink pricing and cover charges — worth reading the recent ones on those specific points before you go.

What to expect at a strip club versus a brothel

These are different venue types under Victorian law and in practice. A strip club is a licensed entertainment venue offering adult performance, typically with a bar, a cover charge and drink service. It does not offer the services a brothel does. Confusing the two is the single most common source of disappointment we see in reviews of venues like this one, which is why it is flagged at the top of this page.
