Notes from the harbour room.

Stories for planning a polished visit: sunset drinks, high tea, skyline occasions and the Level 36 cocktail-bar experience.

Blue-lit cocktail at Blu Bar on 36

At the bar

Cocktails with a view still need craft

The harbour is the first impression, but the visit is carried by cocktails, classics, mocktails and polished service.

Blu Bar on 36 is built for the view, but the bar is not a backdrop. Guests come for cocktails that look sharp, classics made with care and non-alcoholic pours that still feel considered.

From a quick city drink to a table for friends, the menu gives the harbour room enough range for more than one kind of night.

High tea tier with sparkling wine at Blu Bar on 36

Afternoon ritual

High tea above The Rocks

High tea brings sandwiches, warm bites, desserts, scones, tea, coffee and sparkling options to the Level 36 room.

Our high tea menu moves from cucumber, smoked salmon and coronation chicken sandwiches into warm bites, scones and patisserie-style desserts.

Pair the tier with tea, coffee, Australian sparkling wine or French Champagne options, then let the harbour view slow the afternoon down.

Sunset over Sydney Harbour from Blu Bar on 36

Harbour evenings

Planning sunset drinks on Level 36

A skyline table changes the pace of the night, especially when the Opera House, Bridge and harbour are in view.

Sunset is one of the clearest reasons to ride up to Level 36. The room frames Sydney Harbour from above The Rocks, with the skyline shifting from afternoon light into evening glass.

Join us for cocktails, bubbles, mocktails or bar plates when the view is part of the occasion. For window tables and celebrations, booking ahead is the best way to plan the moment.
