About Slims Rooftop

Perched above William Street, this open-air perch pairs sweeping views toward St Mary's Cathedral with chilled cocktails and breezy afternoon tunes. Scale the narrow stairs at Hyde Park House to find an energetic terrace built for easy catch-ups over plates designed to share. Regulars point to the spicy margaritas alongside crisp tempura prawns and sashimi tacos. Outdoor heaters handle cooler evenings, though you will want to leave the flip-flops at home—the door enforces a proper footwear rule while patrons sip coconut margaritas against the Sydney skyline.

  • Skyline Outlook: Open-air rooftop seating looks out directly across St Mary's Cathedral and the central Sydney skyline.
  • Japanese Share Plates: The menu leans into shareable Japanese bites, from sashimi tacos to salmon poke bowls and tempura prawns.
  • Rooftop DJ Sessions: Afternoons frequently feature live DJ sets alongside outdoor heating for cooler weather.
