Best rooftop beer venue in town. Excuse the smoke. Excellent staff and super high tap rotation of craft beers. Ignore the dunnies and you’ll be fine. And the Thai food is excellent too

Has a good vibe and happy staff, and the roof-top is popular with pub-goers. Just a couple of minutes' walk from Town Hall Station.

Nice rooftop bar, but the space is limited. Be prepared to have massive speakers blasting Dj tunes into your ears if you decide to pick a corner table.

It might have one of the best rooftop bars in Sydney, but the ground floor is a vermen infested hovel that reeks of vomit and urine.

Deceptively, Sweeney's has some of the best Thai food in Sydney! Head to the second level for Thai street food before hitting the rooftop dive bar.

Rooftop dive bar? Enough said. Good spot for drinkies! Don't get trashed though, look at all that stairs! ;)

Unique rooftop bar nestled between skanky buildings and town hall. Unfortunately the vent from the toilets/vomitorium constantly blowing directly onto the bar queue & the floor is sticky

If it's not too busy the rooftop area has its own bar and is a good place to chill out.

Climb up all the stairs to the rooftop terrace! Amazing location - but bring your own fresh lime for Corona's as they often run out :-(

The rooftop beer garden is great - its five flights of stairs up and well worth it. Great small pub in the middle of the CBD.

It's not about the bar. It's about the awesome Thai food served on the mid level at lunchtime. Cheap and fresh, better than any food court

Great rooftop bar with craft beer imports from all over the world.

Very nice rooftop, especially on a sunny day! ☀️ Too bad it attracts so many smokers...
Tom ButlerJanuary 23, 2012
There is little to commend about this pub save that it exists and the staff are friendly. Rooftop indeed exists, and smells of ass/vomit as another 4sq tipster rightly commented.

Bit of an underrated place. Some interesting beers on tap and a nice relaxed atmosphere.

The Thai Guy & his Tattoo's, thats just for starters, naturally the best Gai Laksa in town.

The Rooftop is great, and the staff are fun.

Go up 3 flights of stairs to the rooftop. It's one of Sydney's best kept secrets. If you're feeling brave, ask one of the girls for an 'uppercut'.
Renée Van KraanenMay 7, 2017
Pretty cool inside. Not much room up on the roof and there is no way to get away from smokers
Evan SmithSeptember 6, 2012
Rooftop is quite small and crowded so get there early if you would like a seat. Not much of a view but decent atmosphere.
John BoothFebruary 15, 2015
Nice rooftop bar with a good range of craft beers

Polyglot club meets here on the rooftop every Wednesday night!

Rooftop bar is very cool. One of the "warmer" parts of Sydney.

Go to the roof for beers from a shack and great city skyline views. Careful. Many douchebags come here later.

What a sewer no money spent here for more than twenty years.skinflint greedy owners milking pokie profits and not re investing
Ken KJuly 12, 2012
Cracking lunchstop when the sun's out. Thai on the roof with a beer? Winner!
Matthew LosekeJanuary 18, 2013
Hit the rooftop, if you can handle all the stairs
Joel SchmandersonJuly 13, 2012

Nothing. Rude staff, bad opening hours, no lunchtime rooftop atmosphere.
