Summer at WET Deck

Overview

If summer to you screams poolside hangs, cocktails aplenty and killer sunset views, you're in luck: W Brisbane's WET Deck does all of the above. If this summer in particular — from Wednesday, November 15, 2023–Sunday, February 25, 2024— screams wishing you were in Provence, you're also fortunate. Well, you can enjoy the next best thing without leaving the city.

Summer at WET Deck this season involves nodding to France, all at the hotel's fourth-level rooftop pool bar and terrace area. The venue is celebrating the warm weather with appropriate drinks and bites to eat, plus pink-hued theming as well.

Entry is free, and you'll pay as you go — all while surrounded by florals, sun umbrellas and plush wares. From Thursday–Sunday weekly, there'll also be DJs spinning tunes.

Drinks-wise, rosé is the tipple of choice. The menu features five different ways to enjoy it using Whispering Angel's pink drops, including in negronis and spritzes, and as sangria and frosé. You can also get your tipples by the jug for sharing with your date or mates. Fancy a different kind of drink? The cocktail list throws in everything from lavender-heavy gin concoctions to a mango and chilli number, plus a watermelon mocktail.

Food options span the likes of three-cheese arancini with capsicum jam, oysters with verjuice mignonette, bay bug sliders with salmon caviar, New York striploin with rocket and skinny fries, chipotle chicken tacos with baja slaw, and miso and tuna poke bowls.

There's also a semi-private terrace area if you're keen for a group booking and VIP experience — complete with the use of one of the venue's polaroid camera for snaps.
