    Great view of the harbour, even if you're looking down at the Argyle. Balcony seating turns over quick on the roof, so scope out a table and swoop! Decent price beers for such a great view.

    One of bars in Sydney with the best view that over looks the harbour bridge and opera house! Food and drinks are reasonably cheap

    Excellent location, great beer options on tap. Rooftop is a bar extremely noise and crowded. Glenmore Burger and salmon was excellent, portions are medium.

    Good place with great location. City view and Opera House landscape is amazing. Service and cleansing could be better but a good pint helps to relax with that kind of view. Cheers!

    Great view of the opera house--- the wagyu beef burger was a bit dry surprisingly, but the fries and cider were on point !

    Especially when there’s no cruise ship, the view is spectacular! Great place to have a beer when you have visitors from overseas! Good vibe also, the food is okay

    You can't go wrong with this rooftop pub in The Rocks. Decent menu with awesome view of the harbour. Great spot if you're not a local

    With stunning 180-degree views of the harbour, the rooftop beer garden is a perfect spot to enjoy drinks and meals.

    Great views from the rooftop bar. Food was really nice, plenty of bars so you don’t have to wait long to get served.

    Great views from the roof top though it can get quite crowded so be sure to arrive early and poach a good spot. Especially on thurs-Sunday.

    Open again in old glory. Worth a visit... Make sure you go up the stairs to the rooftop.

    On hot days all you want is a table with shade but they always have half the area reserved and only 10 ppl actually show up whilst we're sweltering in the sun. Greedy shade hogs!

    Good spicy chicken wings. Roof top area is quite small, hard to get a seat. Would have expected them to have some more beer choices on tap.

    Cruises ruin the view of the opera house but overall it's an amazing place and one of the best places at the rocks

    Best view of a bar in Sydney. It's just a hotel so nothing special. Pop up to the rooftop for the maximum experience

    Dont drink tooo much on the rooftop.... The stairs could be lethal. Great views when cruise liners arent docked at circular quay. Take a camera.

    If drinking on the rooftop bring a parachute so you can drop in on the Argyle. Gents toilets are all the way down on the ground floor.

    Good views from certain tables, but not all. Three levels. Food surprisingly good. Squid ink pasta better than your average.

    Good views and easy to get into: No need for bookings but gets quite crowded. Bar service is laid back so don't expect to be served unless you ask for a drink.

    On Oct 2, While enjoying 180-degree views of the most beautiful harbour in the world, try a traditional Aussie BBQ with gourmet sausages, steaks and salads. Bookings essential. Read more

    Reminds me of Rooftop Bar in Melbourne but with a more pub vibe. Hearty meals, spectacular views, best place in The Rocks

    Great rooftop bar but the food is pretty horrible. If you're a pub and can't get a simple burger right, there's something wrong

    A good watering hole. Adjacent to Sydney Harbour Bridge. Away from the maddening crowd.
