In plenty of cities around the world, spending winter drinking on a rooftop by the pool might sound ridiculous. Not in Brisbane, though. We're a city with a sultry climate, even when the temperature does get chillier — and we sure do love taking advantage of our usually sunny weather.
South Brisbane's Lina Rooftop is doing just that every Sunday throughout winter from June 26, and it wants you to join in. Because poolside bottomless brunches with a view is a year-round activity in Brissie, the sky-high bar is turning on the drinks each week from 1–3pm.
On the menu up at this level-12 spot: two hours of bellinis, bloody marys, beers and wines for $89 per person, over a two-course set-menu food spread that includes grilled prawns, sashimi and nigiri, popcorn chicken, caramelised cauliflower arancini, pulled pork sliders, and chorizo and seafood paella.
Spend $125 instead and you'll also get bottomless spritzes and cocktail slushies, too (because no, Brisbane in winter isn't too frosty for that).
