    When the temperature drops, there's no better place to be than tucked away at Above 319 with something warm in hand. With cosy blankets and heaters on hand, we've got everything you need to settle in and stay a while. Treat yourself to our Boozy Hot Chocolates, where rich, velvety hot chocolate gets a cheeky grown-up twist. Be sure to try our Bergamot Hot Chocolate made with Italicus. Then dig into our Melt Down Toastie menu, featuring slow-cooked Riverina lamb with finger lime harissa, a pepperberry beef brisket Reuben, and a four cheese calzone with a bush dukkah crust, all pressed golden and gooey.

    We had such an absolute lovely time at Above 319. The staff was very kind and generous. The rooftop was such a nice vibe. The staff gave us complimentary caviar and we had mocktails as our non-alcoholic alternatives. The high tea was delicious and very well presented, the tea and mocktails were also excellent. It was overall such a perfect experience.

    Booked the Valentine's package, great value. Good vibes, they sat all the V Day package people together. Felt nice to be sitting with people who were there for the same reason and dress up accordingly.

    We booked the 319 Skycube package with high expectations, but unfortunately the experience didn’t match what was advertised. As stated in the description, we were supposed to have a private rooftop dome, however when we arrived we were told they will try not to sit anyone inside with us and eventually they had seated other people inside our dome who hadn’t even purchased the Skycube experience. This really took away from the exclusivity that was promised. The seating was also a letdown – instead of the cosy chairs described, we were given tall bar-style chairs which were uncomfortable for a long experience. Before booking, I had confirmed via email with the event manager that all "classic cocktails" on the menu would be included. However, when we got there we were told that usually only 3 or 4 are offered. He did say he would “just do it for us anyway,” but that felt like we were being given a favour rather than receiving what was actually promised in writing. That said, the food was excellent and the drinks we were served were made well, which is the reason this review isn’t lower. Overall, the experience didn’t deliver what was promised, and I’d encourage more transparency in what guests can actually expect when booking the package.

    I’ve never seen cocktails so small in my life for the price I paid. We met gave been on the roof but wouldn’t have known it…..sitting on the side under cover looking at buildings.

FAQs

Smart casual is the dress code at Above 319. Guests tend to dress up for special occasions like Valentine’s packages or birthdays, so aim for neat, stylish attire rather than beachwear or flip-flops.

Busiest: weekend evenings, happy hour and major event nights (e.g., NYE), guests reported packed nights and event crowds. Quietest: lunchtime or early afternoon on weekends when guests enjoyed cocktails without the loud party atmosphere. If you prefer a relaxed visit, try weekday evenings or earlier weekend sittings.

It depends on your goal: choose Saturday or Friday nights for the full rooftop party, DJs and a lively scene; go midday on Saturday or Sunday for a calmer lunch and cocktails; midweek evenings are great for a quieter after-work drink with city views. Book ahead for weekends and special event nights.

Families do visit Above 319, guests have celebrated birthdays and family gatherings there, and the terrace offers a relaxed space suited to groups. Accessibility details (wheelchair access, ramped seating) aren’t provided in the available information, so call ahead to confirm any mobility or special seating needs before you arrive.

The atmosphere is rooftop-chic and upbeat, think relaxed, stylish terrace with city views, modern lighting and a lively soundtrack. Guests frequently mention great vibes, good lighting and decor, friendly staff and an energetic DJ on busy nights. A few guests found the music too loud at times, so it’s great for social nights but less ideal if you want a very quiet dinner conversation.

Yes, guests frequently describe the staff as accommodating, so it’s advisable to call ahead for special requests (celebration arrangements, dietary needs, group seating). Be specific and confirm anything that’s included in a package, some guests experienced mismatches between written promises and on-the-night delivery, so get confirmations in writing where possible.

Yes, Above 319 is a popular rooftop choice for date night. Guests praise the intimate rooftop vibe, city views and attentive staff, making it great for cocktails, high tea or a relaxed evening. Expect a smart-casual crowd, moody lighting and lively music; book ahead for weekend evenings or special packages if you want a more exclusive spot.

Portions lean toward small plates and shareable bites, with larger “big bite” options for heartier appetites. The menu features bar snacks (e.g., popcorn cauliflower, calamari) and big-bite items like sliders, lamb quesadilla and an outback steak sandwich, good for sharing or pairing with cocktails. Note some guests felt food or drink portions were small for the price on certain occasions, so consider ordering a mix of small and big plates.

It depends on the vibe you want. For a quieter, more relaxed visit try lunchtime or early afternoon on weekends (guests noted enjoying lunch cocktails without the busy rooftop party feel). For lively evenings, go during happy hour or weekend nights when the DJ and atmosphere are more energetic. Avoid big event nights (NYE) if you want a low-key experience.
