The Terrace – Rooftop Bar & Event Venue in Woollahra, Sydney

Sydney’s Favourite Rooftop for Drinks, Dining & Events

There is a certain kind of Sydney evening that asks for a rooftop.

Not the glossy, skyscraper type. But something softer… More intimate. More effortlessly enjoyable. A place where you can sip a glass of wine, watch the light slip behind Woollahra, and feel like you’ve discovered a little secret above the streets.

Welcome to The Terrace, the rooftop bar perched atop the iconic Woollahra Hotel. Stylish but relaxed. Modern yet rooted in history. A space that works for a spontaneous after-work drink, a weekend catch-up, a romantic date night, or a pre-game stop before the SCG.

It’s a rooftop that doesn’t need to try too hard. Cause it simply feels good to be in.

A Vertical Garden Bar Rooftop with a Signature Look

Our rooftop’s lush living wall isn’t just a pretty backdrop — it transforms the entire atmosphere.

Natural greenery brings a calming, garden-party feel to an urban setting, making this one of Sydney’s most photogenic and inviting rooftop bars.

It’s an oasis in the heart of the Eastern Suburbs.

A Rooftop That Opens to the Stars

Here’s what truly sets us apart:
A retractable rooftop that reveals the night sky.

When the weather is right, we slide the sunroof open and let the stars take over.

Imagine:

  • Cocktails under a blanket of starlight
  • Toasts beneath the moon
  • A romantic dinner with the open sky overhead
  • The perfect blend of indoor comfort and outdoor magic

It’s intimate, atmospheric, and distinctly Sydney.

The Best Rooftop Bar Near the SCG & Allianz Stadium

Only a five-minute walk from both stadiums, The Terrace bar Sydney is the ideal destination before or after a game or concert.

Whether you’re here for:

  • Cricket
  • AFL
  • Rugby
  • A live show or major event

Start or finish your Moore Park outing with drinks and bites on the rooftop. It’s convenient, stylish, and perfectly located.

Explore the Art Deco Bar & Restaurant Downstairs

Before heading up, wander through our beautiful ground-floor restaurant and bar in Sydney. A celebration of Art Deco nostalgia brought into the modern day.

Although that’s not all in the range of events spaces in Sydney we offer:

  • Old-world charm downstairs (walk-ins only)
  • Chill modern rooftop energy upstairs
  • Mirrored wall and tree-lookout cocktail bar in the courtyard
  • Our private Queen Street lounge with more Art Deco detailing and surround sound
  • You can even book out the entire upstairs floor for a grand 300-person event

 

For any hosted event, guests are free to drift between both levels throughout the night. It’s a great way to enjoy the full Woollahra Hotel terrace experience.
