The Best Rooftop Bars in and Around Brisbane

There's a certain entrancing quality to rooftop bars. Whether it's drinking at altitude, the fresh air on your face or the sun beating down on your vitamin-D-deficient skin, these beguiling openair beauties consistently draw you in. Thankfully, Brisbane has more than a couple that'll help you make the most of the city's weather — and all-year-round, too.

This list is a collection of bars and pubs that have put their rooftop real estate to good use. There are old faces, recent additions and places that you might have forgotten. From a South Bank oasis complete with fluffy stools to a sky-high pool bar in CBD, and including a soaring brewery and plenty of riverside vistas, too, these rooftops are pulling out all the stops. And, we're glad — cocktails taste infinitely better skyward in fancy surrounds.
