Harper Rooftop Bar

Overview

There aren't many things that Sydney likes more than a rooftop bar. Sipping an ice-cold cocktail high above the city on a sunny day — does it get any better? Luckily, we've got plenty of options, including this colourful new watering hole on top of boutique Art Deco hotel, the Kimpton Margot.

Harper Rooftop Bar fills out the hotel's quality dining options which include Luke Mangan's Luke's Kitchen and the lobby cocktail haven The Wilmot Bar. Harper joins in on the fun with a summer-ready drinks list and fit-out, a sky-high pool and a selection of eats once again courtesy of Mangan.

Fast-paced bites include truffle fries, burrata and marinated olives, while more serious meals range from lobster rolls to veal cottoletta.

As for the drinks menu, it's been injected with a whole lot of fun. Alongside classic cocktails and a robust wine selection, there are boozy slushies ready to cool you down on a warm December day.

Kimpton claims that Harper is the CBD's biggest rooftop bar with the expansive L-shaped space set up to accommodate everything from intimate after-work drinks to large group events. Surrounded by Sydney's mass of inner-city high-rises, the new seventh-floor venue boasts plenty of greenery, bright pod seating and long dining tables for groups.

Topping things off, you'll also find the hotel's swimming pool perched above the bar, calling out for hotel guests to enjoy a poolside martini during their stay. With a set up that good, why even bother leaving the premises?
