Food & Beverage Supervisors and Duty Managers

About us

HQ Group’s (Arbory Bar & Eatery, HER, Straight Up Cocktails) annual pop-up bar and eatery AFLOAT, is back to grace Melbourne's CBD from August through to June.

Nestled on the North side of ‘Birrarung’, AFLOAT transforms each year with new fit-out and theme, drawing inspiration from our favourite international holiday destinations.

Season 11’s re-launch will feel like a familiar but new addition to Melbourne’s summer social scene; with the venue’s interior, design, food & beverage offering, music & entertainment program and a reminder that the good times are right around the corner.
