New look for The Rook

The popular Sydney rooftop venue has undergone an LA makeover.

Perched high up above the hustle and bustle of Sydney’s CBD, popular rooftop venue The Rook has relaunched with a fresh new feel.

Once reminiscent of New York, The Rook now boasts a cool LA vibe coupled with a new menu by executive chef Daniel Corbett.

Available for exclusive and partial hire, the revived venue features a dusty pink and burgundy colour palette, with tan leather seating and a terracotta bar front.

The venue also features a new menu

“We wanted to keep the soul of the original Rook, while giving it a fresh burst of energy,” said Corbett.

While lobster rolls and burgers still take centre stage on the menu, a wider variety of dishes are now available, including grilled Yamba prawns, pearl barley risotto and mussels in a Thai broth.

Encompassing the main bar and dining room, the entire venue can be hired for exclusive events, with capacity for 120 guests in a standing format or 70 seated.

To celebrate the refresh, The Rook has also introduced an exclusive gin cocktail menu, dubbed Hot Gin Roof.

The wintry, tea-inspired menu includes tipples such as ‘Berrylicious’, with Sipsmith London Dry Gin, hibiscus and berry tea, ginger, grapefruit, mint; ‘Tea Time’, with Sipsmith London Dry Gin, Sipsmith London Cup, earl grey tea, orange, cinnamon, star anise; and ‘Hot Ginsmith’, with Sipsmith London Dry Gin, vanilla chai tea, banana liqueur, cacao nibs, caramel, cream.

Tea-inspired cocktails are the focus for winter
