Winter might not seem like the time to be hanging out atop CBD rooftops. But, perched on the 14th floor of Darling Harbour's Vibe Hotel, Above 319 is proving that a few cosy additions make it easy to embrace the cold season — with the views and atmosphere to match. Put together a group of six to 16 pals, as the SkyCube Experience transforms this bustling inner-city bar into a private rooftop igloo escape. Situated inside a massive dome adorned with twinkling fairy lights, thick blankets and comfy furniture, this inviting pod also comes with a dedicated host to make sure your night goes off without a hitch. Above 319 has also curated a special menu for the event, with dining packages starting from $55 per guest. Over two hours, you'll sip a welcome cocktail and dine on a stacked grazing board teeming with hot calamari, charred corn, olives, flatbread and more. Bookable from Wednesday–Sunday, the SkyCube Experience is the ideal way to celebrate a winter birthday or organise a unique catch-up. If you want to level up your evening, upgrade to the $75 per person package, adding a two-hour beverage lineup. For $100 per person, your visit will reach unmatched heights, featuring three hours of bottomless winter-themed cocktails alongside sweet and savoury canapes, like tomato arancini and goat cheese tartlets.
