Overview

Sky Bar boasts an open-air rooftop with top-notch city views. Those looking to gaze over Sydney while they enjoy their drink will be treated to floor-to-ceiling glass doors surrounding the bar. The doors fully retract, allowing for optimal appreciation of the urban vistas.

But it's not just the views that are easy on the eye. An earth-tone ode to the art deco and Bauhaus movements, the rich interiors are a symphony of chevron stripes, varnished wood finishes, elegant floor tiles and plush lounges. Silhouette motifs in burnt orange and black adorn the walls, while an expansive island bar clad in multiple grains of wood dominates the main seating area. This is mid-century chic done right.

On the menu here, you'll find tasty bar snacks, including pickled mussels, raw tuna and coal-roasted quail. If you're on the hunt for a more decadent experience, the Oscietra caviar service is truly luxe but will set you back $190. When it comes to drinks, the Sicilian Margarita has made its way up from Menzies Bar. However, there is a range of cocktails unique to Sky Bar. The Tenth Floor Fizz mixes whey gin, native peach, yuzu, amaro, rosé and soda; while the Cloony Tunes is a Casamigos Reposado, mezcal and pineapple creation.
