Situated on the top of the Shangrila la hotel, this is the bar with the best view of Sydney Harbour that there is. A small bar to buy drinks from, you can stand around the bar or at a stool at the window. Or, you put you name down for a table in the next room. This we did and were seated at a table for two at the window with spectacular views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House! What could be better!! Table service for drinks and they have an extensive range of cocktails, wines, beers, whiskey and other spirits.
I got the Yamazurakura which is gin, elderflower liquor, Aperol, lemon juice, grapefruit and egg white. I've always been put off by a cocktail with egg white, but no longer will be, as it makes a good foam! Winner of the worldwide shangrila la cocktail challenge and it was a delicious cocktail. I almost ordered the same one again but decided to try something different. I chose the La'Orange sour vodka, Aperol, orange bitters, orange, lemon juice and egg white in a large glass topped with a cherry. A tangy tasty drink that I also liked a lot. Top cocktails here. Hubby got the Whisky and a whiskey cocktail which he loved!
Look, they aren't cheap but it's totally worth it for date night or an anniversary - a true 5 star experience.
