Seven drinks we make more of than anything else. Start here.
The infamous cocktail of the 1972 Rolling Stones American Tour.
Iconic gin sour — bright, botanical, tart.
Mexico's most underrated drink. Blanco tequila, pink grapefruit, lime.
Pineapple and coconut cream, straight to the tropics.
The original tropical getaway — rum, almond, citrus, orange.
Deceptively smooth, spirit-forward, citrus and cola.
Vodka highball with peach, orange and cranberry.
All prices are non-members prices. Members save on every line — see page 23.
Built the way they should be. Pick a family, then a variation.
Cosmopolitan, Old Fashioned, Caipiroska, Caipirinha — ask us. If we have the bottle, we'll make it.
For the long end of an afternoon.
Jugs serve four and take about five minutes. Sunset hour and what's on are on page 22.
A proper list, not an afterthought at the back.
Built on Maybe Sammy zero-proof spirits and poured with the same care as everything else in this book.
Australian gin, arranged by where it was made.
The five Northern Beaches gins are distilled in Brookvale, about six kilometres from this roof.
Any gin on these two pages, served with Fever-Tree and the garnish it deserves — no extra charge.
Prosecco through to grower Champagne.
G = 150ml glass. B = bottle.
Twelve of them. The rooftop drinks more rosé than anything else.
Five by the glass, twelve by the bottle — the deepest rosé list on the lower north shore.
The lighter end of the white list.
G = 150ml glass. B = bottle. The list continues overleaf.
† Price unresolved between the live menu and the working file — confirm before print.
The lighter half of the red list. Pinot from Central Otago down.
The list continues overleaf, into shiraz and cabernet.
Corkage $20 a bottle, Sunday to Thursday.
Eight taps. Six of them from New South Wales.
S = schooner. P = pint.
'The Fernery' Lager is brewed for us by Young Henrys in Newtown. It is only poured here.
For when the queue is three deep.
Isla is made in Sydney. Four per cent, no sugar, and the only thing on this page that travels well to the far tables.
Vodka and agave. Nothing here is over thirty dollars.
Every spirit in this book is available neat, on ice, or built into any classic on page 3.
† The two Zacapa prices are reversed between the live menu and the working file. Shown here the way that makes sense.
By region, ordered by intensity rather than alphabetically.
Cheapest first inside each region — an $11 Ballantine’s at the head of Blended does more for approachability than any copy line.
Ask about the pour of the month — one bottle, open until it’s gone.
Sambuca in black or white. Any of these over ice with soda makes a very good half-hour.
Dessert in a glass, or something older and slower.
Botrytis poured in 375ml. † Hennessy XO and VS are printed the wrong way round on the current menu — XO at $15, VS at $55. Corrected here.
The reason to come back on a Tuesday.
Every day 4–6pm. Jugs are $6 off and the west-facing tables are first-come — the whole point of being up here.
Live music from Thursday. Trivia on Tuesdays. The roof calendar changes week to week, so the QR on the facing page is always the current one — this page is not.
The glasshouse end seats thirty and the whole roof takes ninety. Ask any of us, or use the same QR.
Kitchen closes an hour before the bar. The lift runs to level three; the stairs are worth it once.
Members pay less on every line in this book.
Live music, trivia and the roof calendar.
Members prices apply from the drink you are about to order.
All prices in this book are non-members prices.
