Above 319

Overview

Catching up for a drink on a rooftop bar is a tried and true Sydney tradition, and if you're on the hunt for a spot to enjoy some sky-high sips on Sussex Street, look no further than Above 319. The colourful inner-city watering hole is brought to life by an abundance of greenery, a bright neon sign and a rooftop pool, all setting the stage for a drinks menu of classic sips.

Located on level 14 of the Vibe Hotel, this Darling Harbour destination leans into bright floral vibrancy with pink and orange branding and a fresh, crowd-pleasing selection of cocktails. Cucumber and rose petal G&Ts, passionfruit and vanilla mojitos, salted caramel espresso martinis and raspberry bellinis all grace the drinks list.

If you've arrived with a group, opt for one of the shared jugs — the Volcano Punch combines spiced rum, peach liqueur, a heap of fruit and ginger beer, while the Smokin' Sangria is made with malbec wine, vodka, orange liqueur, pressed pineapple, orange juice and ginger beer.

Located right by Darling Square and Haymarket, it's a lovely stopover to head before or after a hearty meal at one of Chinatown's top eateries. What more could you want from a Friday than a post-work drink up above the Sydney CBD followed by a trip to Spicy Joint or Porkfat?
