Our Take

CBD's Hidden Rooftop Cocktail Bar

The Rook is a hidden rooftop cocktail bar in the CBD — accessed through an unmarked side door and a four-floor walk-up. The rooftop is wraparound with skyline views of the Sydney Tower and the Harbour Bridge. The cocktail program is precise and seasonal.

The kitchen serves Mediterranean small plates. Reservations required for the weekend. Smart-casual dress code.

Pair with Old Mate's Place for a more Australian-ingredient complement.
