The Best Rooftop Bars In Sydney, Australia

Trivia nights, Sunday sessions and resident DJs on a Saturday, these are the tell-tale traits of a great local pub. All of this is rounded off with a great play on words wit the pub’s ‘Tappy Hour’, every day from 3 to 6pm where local tap beers are $5. Sweethearts Rooftop Barbeque is the classic Australian pub, only with one special difference: the rooftop. Located in the inner-city suburb of Potts Point, this pub is the perfect place to have an outdoor rooftop bar, where you can enjoy the great Australian weather along with modern Australian pub food, local beer and awesome company.

If you’re looking for a quick bite, a few drinks under Sydney’s sun, or a long meal, Café del Mar Sydney has got you covered. This cafe, bar and restaurant is inspired by the Balearic Islands off the east coast of Spain, which are infamous for being a glamorous international party destination. You’ll be able to relax with a Spanish-style cocktail or share a sangria pitcher with friends on this sun deck in Sydney’s CBD, looking over the beautiful Cockle Bay and Darling Harbour.

One of Sydney’s premier bars is Zeta, which offers incredible cocktails that are matched only by the stunning views over the city. This bar is sleek and sophisticated, specializing in cocktails that push the boundaries. The bartenders here have mastered the classics and create delicious contemporary flavor combinations. You can get access to this trend-setting bar by taking a glass elevator up the Hilton Hotel and visiting the chic terrace bar that overlooks the Queen Victoria Building, which remains an icon of Sydney’s architecture.
