Henry Deane: The Rooftop Bar With The Most Iconic View This Vivid

Perched above Millers Point at the top of the historic Hotel Palisade, Henry Deane offers one of the best seats in Sydney for VIVID without the crowds.

Located within the VIVID light trail and just a short walk from Barangaroo Metro, the rooftop cocktail bar pairs sweeping harbour and city views with plush lounge seating, making it an ideal spot to settle in for the evening.

With gloomy skies and rainy weather hanging around, it’s the perfect spot for those who want to soak in the beauty of the lights dancing across the skyline and the Harbour Bridge, without getting soaked to the bone.

During VIVID, the bar is serving a trio of limited-edition cocktails inspired by the festival’s vibrant colours and energy, including the Neon Fizz with yuzu and spirulina pearls, the guava-forward Flamingo Theory, and the clarified tequila-based Liquid Ember.

A strong non-alcoholic offering is also available alongside classic cocktails, wine and beer. Cocktails are from $22, wine by the glass from $16, and beer from $10.

The food menu is designed to share and ranges from snackable bites to larger dishes. Caviar is available for an extra fancy affair! The menu ranges from $8 (spicy nuts) to $54 (magra lamb shoulder). A must-order dish is the Potato Hash ($22 for 4pc) with abalone sauce and smoked pork dust.

For groups, Henry Deane offers four distinct spaces, including semi-private areas overlooking the harbour, making it a standout option for after-dark gatherings, pre-show drinks or a luxe Vivid night out.

Boasting one of the city’s best views of Sydney Harbour, this much-loved venue will be the place to be during Vivid! Henry Deane is open from Tuesday to Sunday until late.
