Colleen Deere • July 31, 2022

Where are the best spots to hit up across Sydney? From Bottomless Brunching, Caribbean Mexican Themes, Rooftop Treasures and more to explore; share with your circle to get out and about in our amazing city!

The Winery
Bottomless Brunching, sunshine and smiles in Surry Hills! 2 hours of Bottomless Bellinis / Sparkling and 3 courses on the menu for $79 pp 11.30am, 2pm or 4.30pm on a Saturday, whereby Sunday’s options are limited to either 11.30am or 2pm!

Untied
Rooftop Brunch with Soul - Barangaroo's Best! Non-stop flow of cocktails with Soul Singers over the weekend providing the best R&B throwbacks for you and your gang! $79 pp, either 11am or 2pm slots. Sunday’s brunch is the Vegan option! (Yes, it can be a very early start getting the glam squad out the door and into that Uber to arrive on time!)

Bondi Hardware
Bondi Brunch - book out the Secret Garden, pump your own tunes from their speakers and enjoy the privacy of the Rose lunch! 2 hours of bottomless Rose Sangria / Rose bottomless along with 6 courses of food to share for $75 pp.

Estate Coogee Beach 
One of the newer venues in Coogee opening just before the pandemic struck the hospitality industry, this spot is opposite the beautiful sand with so many options here to suit all tastes, The Kitchen: Formal and plenty of seafood. The Terrace: Outdoor seating area ~ beach style. Taqueria: All the Tacos and a Live DJ! This used to be divided up into three separate areas to book, but I believe it may have changed recently. Bookings are usually recommended here!

Babylon Rooftop
Escape to the Middle East in the heart of the Sydney CBD. Located in the Westfield Shopping Centre, the food here is honestly to die for! Such an amazing spread. There are options to sit indoors or outdoors, perfectly suited for the unreliable Sydney weather. Sip on some gins outside and admire the Sydney skyline!

The Squire's Landing - James Squire Brewhouse 
Ahhh the iconic Sydney backdrop! One of my top bars in Australia. Opposite the Bridge a.k.a ‘The Coathanger’ and the Sydney Opera House, you will admire the most wonderful setting as you socialise with friends and listen to live music and capture that ‘Instagrammable’ photo!
 

Blackbird Cocktail Bar
Darling Harbour delivers a special venue here with a serious cocktail menu. Happy Hour everyday ~ Friday 3pm - 7pm & Sunday - Thursday 3pm - 6pm! How good - grab your crew and kickstart your night here soaking up the atmosphere!

Beach Burrito Company
Amidst the vibe of Coogee Bay Road, this is such a lovely spot to start your night off - lining the tummies! The dishes and tacos are so tasty, not to mention the cocktail jugs you can sink - I recommend trying most of the flavours if you can, to really find your favourite!

The Lobo
Oh, this place is unique! A Caribbean Style Rum Bar, located on Clarence Street in the city! With dark decor, you will enter underground and be greeted by a gorgeous tropical smell of island life! This was formally known as Lobo Plantation Bar and due to The Black Lives Matter movement, the bar owner decided to change its name.

The Unicorn Hotel Paddington
Another gem with a downstairs seating area, relaxed Aussie vibes with excellent wine choices! If it's a winter cosy night you're after, you'll feel comfortable here, or if you fancy some summer schooners to quench your thirst in the courtyard, this spot caters for all!

Newport Arms Garden Bistro
Venture out of the city, book a party bus and travel to the Northern Beaches! This venue reminded me of a cross between the Grounds of Alexandria & Watsons Bay. The tunes, vibes and atmosphere are like no other place we have in Sydney by the coast! So many bars and food options, enjoy the spectacular views!

Carbon
Did someone say bottomless Margaritas? If you are a taco lover and enjoy a salsa vibe, this is a spot to try out in Bondi. 1.5 hours of Brunching for $79 pp. Spanish woodfire vibes.  

The Beresford 
The good ole’ Beresford in Surry Hills! I love their courtyard which is a suntrap on a hot day, enjoy some pub grub or take advantage of the $6 drinks from 6pm - 8pm every day!
#Beroclock. Upstairs you can take it to another level with the dancefloor and tunes.

The Rooftop Sydney
3 hours of Prosecco + Pizza; what a double treat! Usually $75, however we got a November deal with this so you might be lucky with a monthly special. Such a generous package from the moment we sat down. The pizzas are so delish (4/5 types to choose from) Very friendly staff, great vibes, tunes were pumping with Darling Harbour views

The Rook 
City Rooftop Drinks with a ‘Boujee’ Entrance - my kind of Friday Night Sydney Vibe! Visit for a hidden entrance - it looks like an office building downstairs so don't be fooled. Get to the Top at Level 7 and be greeted by an archway of beauty. Cocktails, share plates, food and drinks in a lively open veranda style setting!
