Rooftop bars aren’t few and far between in Sydney. As Daylight savings comes into play, it’s no wonder that we are drawn to these rooftop venues for a catch up with friends paired with a few drinks.
As the city is packed with options, it’s worth noting which rooftop bars are actually worth the hype.
1.Slims Rooftop Bar – Darlinghurst
Unwind in a tropical oasis, pina colada in hand, at Slims rooftop bar. Renowned for their huge selection of classic summer cocktails, Slims is the perfect place to hang out on a balmy, summer evening in the heart of the city.
Prepare to be stumped when it comes to ordering. Slims have an amazing range of zakaya-style eats, from salt pepper squid served with homemade hot sauce, to pork belly bao buns and perfectly plump gyozas, the decision of what to eat isn’t easy.

5. Light Brigade Rooftop- Paddington
Catch spectacular views of Sydney’s skyline at the Light Brigade rooftop bar. Notorious for their woodfire pizza, they also serve burgers, mains and a selection of light bites. Their stand out pizza would have to be the roasted mushroom pizza topped with pumpkin, gorgonzola and pine nuts.
