Had a great experience last Saturday night having booked the rooftop for an engagement party. The food was lovely and plentiful, the staff were fantastic and the venue itself was large enough to create a dance floor for those that wanted to dance but still plenty of areas for guests to sit, drink and chat if they wanted to. The Functions team were also very helpful with planning and advice. I would definitely recommend this venue as a great location for celebrations and events.

Awesome rooftop bar, with a roof that opens and beautiful views over Darling Harbour. We enjoyed a great night out with colleagues, taking some high tables and enjoying the drinks and bar food. Great place to come with friends and workmates, both in small and larger groups. We’ll be back!

We had our work event here and absolutely loved it! Thank you to Kelli who helped us with the booking. The evening was seamless from start to finish, the staff was superb and took excellent care of us. A special thanks to Leo and Tom who were behind the bar. The hospitality industry is challenging industry to work in, but seeing how the staff went above and beyond with the service and liaised with me so well was fantastic to see. Food arrived quickly and was fresh and delicious, shoutout to the gentlemen (sorry didn't catch your name) who spoke with me throughout the evening on when I wanted the food to arrive and didn't have us wait around guessing when it would arrive. We got a spot on The Rooftop and it was gorgeous during sunset. Many of my colleagues really loved this place, we will definitely be recommending this venue to other clients and hopefully will be back soon!
