Lady Banks Rooftop in Southwest Sydney has transformed into a magical winter wonderland, complete with igloos, warm fire pits, twinkling fairy lights, sweet delights and delicious cocktails – so if you’re looking for something fun to do during these chilly months, look no further. The rooftop bar, located on Level 10 of Bankstown Sports Club and boasting 360-degree views of Sydney city and even the Blue Mountains, is hosting the fairy tale-coded Winter Wonderland every Friday to Sunday from now until August 31.
For a super special date night, couples can book out the igloos for themselves for $100 per person, which includes a bottle of either Moët & Chandon or Whispering Angel rosé on arrival. Plus, you’ll enjoy dinner under the stars, with a menu that features things like spanner crab brioche with finger lime mayonnaise; butterflied king prawns with chermoula; burrata with heirloom beetroot; wood-fired lamb gozleme with lemon and ricotta; and an apple and rhubarb crumble with pistachio ice cream for dessert.
Groups of four to ten can opt for the $50 per person experience, which includes a magnum of bubbles or rosé and a share-style menu of yum snacks. Hello, birthday parties or a boozy lunch with the girls.
Plus, a daily happy hour from 4-6pm with $10 mulled wine and $8 beer and wine – best enjoyed by the fire – makes a strong case for knockoffs.
Bankstown Sports Club CEO Michael Clancy says: “We’re committed to keeping Lady Banks Rooftop fresh, exciting and full of new experiences – whether it’s your first visit or your fifteenth. Winter Wonderland is all about creating a cosy, magical space where our patrons can come together to enjoy good company, warm drinks, and beautiful winter evenings.
“We know that not everyone wants to trek into the city when the temperature drops, so we’ve brought the magic closer to home – with private igloos, fire pits, fairy lights and frosty cocktails under the stars,” he adds.
As well as the daily offers, Lady Banks Rooftop is hosting a bunch of fun events that you’re not going to want to miss. Think a hot chocolate-fuelled après-ski weekend (June 19-22); Bastille Festival (July 11-12) with bubbles and brie; and Christmas in July (July 26), featuring puddings, tinsel and holiday vibes.
