FAQs about Top Rooftop Venues in Sydney
Rooftop venues can be used as a location for corporate seminars, product launches, fancy parties and more. The event you plan to host will depend on your budget, the size and type of your guest list and what type of event you want to hold. Rooftop venues have a certain vibe to them that only height can provide - it opens up a whole new view and perspective to not just the venue itself but also your event.
- There are many restaurant venues with rooftop terraces that charge a per person fee for events at their facility. This fee is very common at rooftop wedding venues in Sydney, and usually includes drinks and everything else that you need for your party. The per person fee for rooftop venues in Sydney ranges from $30-$85.
- The minimum spend pricing structure is another common fee among Sydney venues. The minimum spend rate is a neat way to pay since you don't actually pay for the venue itself, you simply commit to buying a certain minimum amount of food and drinks as a group. The minimum spend fee in Sydney ranges from $500-$2,500.
- You can also book a private rooftop venue by paying a hire fee. This fee usually only covers the use of the event space for your event and sometimes extra tables and chairs. Expect Sydney hire fees to range from $200-$3,500. (All data from Tagvenue)
If you want that Sydney skyline or harbour view, Cockle Bay Yacht Club is right on the water and looks impressive. It is good for bigger groups too.

Top Tips for Booking the Right Rooftop Space in Sydney
- Weather – Sydney weather can be a little unpredictable at times. Always check with the venue's management about your options if rain or inclement weather ruins your rooftop plans. Many bars and rooftop establishments offer a backup room indoors. After all, you wouldn’t want to have your cocktail party in the middle of a rainstorm!
- Location – Just being on a rooftop doesn’t guarantee a great view. One of the best parts about rooftop venues in Sydney is the views you can savour from way up there! Take a look through the venue’s pictures on their profile so you can find out what kind of view it offers. We’re pretty sure you’re going to love the view of Sydney’s skyline. Just take a look at
- How close are the indoor facilities? – Most rooftop party venues in Sydney are connected to an indoor bar and restaurant. But it is a good idea to always look into the toilet and facility situation to ensure that you don't need to use a portable outhouse! Also, sometimes you might just want a mix of both–indoor and outdoor spaces–in case your guests don’t feel comfortable staying outdoors throughout the whole event.
- Stay flexible – When planning a rooftop party, try to leave your agenda open and free. Part of the reason why people love outdoor venues is the freedom they enable by offering an escape from the normal hustle and bustle of regular indoor events. Plus, Sydney offers some really great locales–if one doesn’t meet your expectations, you can be sure you will quickly find another!
