Vivid Liftoff at The Rook
Warm up before Vivid with light-inspired cocktails and share plates on a hidden rooftop in the CBD.
Overview
Meeting mates for Vivid this year and not sure where to begin? The Rook is inviting you to Vivid Liftoff. On Monday–Saturday evenings, the hidden rooftop bar in the CBD is peddling Vivid-themed cocktails and share plates. And they're all backdropped by pretty views of the Sydney skyline.
Start with a Firefly Glow (gin, mango purée, passionfruit, lime) while snacking on crispy fried bread with whipped ricotta and house hot honey. Then move onto a Lunar Lagoon (vodka, blue curaçao, coconut syrup) alongside zucchini tempura with parmesan and hot honey drizzle.
Or, if you're in the mood for bubbles, go for the Starlight Spritz (prosecco, elderflower liqueur, grapefruit) alongside squid fritti with paprika salt and tom yum mayo, or Southern-Style buffalo chicken with blue cheese mayo.
Whatever you eat and drink, The Rook is a handily central spot to start your night. It's just a stone's throw from Darling Harbour, Town Hall and Martin Place.
