This summer, the Rook is swapping its industrial warehouse look for citrus vines and coastal Italian vibes. The menu is getting in on the action too, with an Italian-inspired bottomless brunch every Saturday through the summer. For $69, you'll get 90 minutes of Quincy seltzers (lime or passionfruit), Spritzes (lime and elderflower, or passionfruit and mango), Bellinis (mango or lychee) and Furphy beers.
To accompany the tipples, there's an antipasti spread of charcuterie (Wagyu bresaola, salami and 'nduja), cheese (stracciatella, Brie and cheddar), olives, pickles, dried figs, rye bread, sourdough thins and mixed fruits. This boozy, grazy package is available at 11.30am and 2pm on Saturdays; booking is recommended.
On NYE, things kick up a notch at the Rook's Amalfi Rooftop Party. A welcome glass of Champagne sets the mood for the evening, followed by a three-hour beverage package with complimentary canapes for $130. Snack on rock oysters with cucumber granita, scallops with Romesco butter, and mini crab rolls with Calabrian chilli mayo while you count down to midnight.
