Taking care of the music on the night is none other than Mike Simonetti flown in all the way from NYC. Joining him will be Kali, the mind behind long-running Sydney institution Picnic and a formidable DJ herself.

It’ll be a truly bellissimo night with killer tunes, food and wine to match. Tickets start at$20 which includes entry to the party and a bottle of Peroni on arrival. They can be purchased here.

As we speak, local Melbourne artist Stephen Baker is in the midst of completing a giant mural spanning three storeys in the King and Godfree Lane, thanks to Peroni. 

The mural draws on inspiration from our rooftop bar just above it, with the geometric design full of bright bold lines and shapes, filled in with a polished colour palette of pastel pinks, reds, whites and burgundy. Baker’s distinctive style of silhouettes greets you as you enter through the sliding doors to the roof, with a woman and man sitting opposite each other enjoying themselves at a bar.  

Due for completion in the coming weeks, we can’t wait for you to see Baker’s new piece – make sure you take a look next time you make your way up for a drink at Johnny’s.

Throughout the month of March, the rooftop will be transformed into a fun-filled festival celebrating all aspects of art, food, fashion and music thanks to Peroni.

Sydney fashion duo Double Rainbouu will be showing off their latest collection, JNETT will be taking over Friday nights as our special DJ in residence, Melbourne artist Stephen Baker will be taking over the walls in the K&G lane with a three-storey mural, and we will be hosting a Rigatoni Party with none other than Maurice Terzini and Gio Paradiso from Italo Disco & Dining Club.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you, stay up to date with everything happening on our Insta: @johnnysgreenroom & check out the full program here.

Introducing a specially curated CAPI SODA+ cocktail menu, available all summer long. CAPI SODA+ launched late last year. It’s a range of no sugar, unsweetened flavoured sodas perfect for mixing. Due to its low-calorie nature, it is aimed at the health conscious who still value a great tasting drink over the warmer months. The range plays on citrus and herb blends including Lemon and Basil, Blood Orange and Sage, and Grapefruit and Rosemary. Thurman Wise, Head of Innovation at CAPI says that ‘working with citrus and herbs creates a balanced drink, yet the combinations we have played with provide an adult profile, elevating what consumers can experience when they make a simple vodka soda”.

Kicking off on Friday 17 January and continuing throughout the summer, we’re adding three new fun cocktails featuring CAPI SODA+ to our menu. The first cab off the rank, the ‘Summer Smash’ will feature Australian gin, lemon, cucumber and a splash of CAPI SODA+ Lemon and Basil. For a riff on the cocktail favourite Aperol Spritz, the ‘Senza Spritz’ will hit the spot. It’s made up of Aperol, orange juice and CAPI SODA+ Blood Orange and Sage.

The last CAPI SODA+ cocktail marries their Grapefruit and Rosemary flavour with Blanco tequila. It’s Johnny’s bartender Ben Croake’s favourite as it reminds him of his favourite summer cocktail, the Paloma. ‘The natural sweetness of Blanco tequila pairs extremely well with the bitterness of grapefruit to make an incredible cocktail that is not overly complicated’.

CAPI SODA+’s aim is to elevate summer drinking occasions, and while it’s aimed at the health conscious, it certainly won’t get between them and a good time.

With unmatched views of Melbourne’s CBD, Carlton rooftop bar Johnny’s Green Room, located above King & Godfree, is the ultimate spot to celebrate the start of 2020.

The party kicks off at 8pm and will run into the early stages of the New Year’s Day with Hope St Radio providing the entertainment featuring DJ Danny Hotep on the decks.

An endless food and beverage package will keep you well fuelled throughout the night. Sink into a selection of delicious antipasto, fresh seafood and classic thin crust Neapolitan pizza by the slice. As you enter, oysters from Sydney Rock Oysters will be freshly shucked by the Johnny’s crew with other highlights including crumbed king prawns, cured salmon blini, tomato and scamorza arancini and a selection of sliders which includes a wagyu beef option as well a vegan option featuring chickpeas, sauerkrauts and red aioli.
