  • Conversational Celebration Space

    Attentive table service and balanced music volumes ensure celebration dinners and group catch-ups run smoothly without shouting.

    music wasnt overbearing where you couldnt have a conversation-which is hard to find these days.

Before you head over

Practical advice on bookings, menu offerings, and arrival at Level 4.

  • Book Ahead for Sunset

    The lounge fills up rapidly, especially around peak sunset hours and weekends. Book ahead to secure a table, though walk-ins can sometimes be accommodated if you are willing to wait briefly for seats to clear.

  • Plan Around a Two-Item Menu

    Food service is hyper-focused on classic cheeseburgers and signature hash brown fries served with sweet cinnamon-maple honey sauce. Plan your visit for cocktails and comfort snacks rather than an extensive multi-course dinner.

  • Take the Elevator to Level 4

    The rooftop bar sits atop Level 4 of the Zero Gipps building and is directly accessible via the building's elevator, making arrival seamless.
