About The Glenmore Hotel

This multi-level heritage pub in The Rocks pairs unobstructed Sydney Harbour and Opera House views with unpretentious counter service. Locals climb straight up to the rooftop terrace, where overhead heaters and a dedicated bar keep the open-air deck running in any weather. Plates lean into hearty comfort—a rich lamb shank pie, crisp spicy wings, and fresh salmon poke bowls alongside cold craft beers on tap. Weekend tables fill fast before sunset, leaving patrons shoulder-to-shoulder with a pint in hand as the city lights up the water.

  • Iconic Harbour Views: An open-air rooftop deck delivers direct, panoramic sights across Sydney Harbour and the illuminated Opera House.
  • Hearty Pub Classics: Generous pub plates include rich lamb shank pie, spicy wings, and fresh salmon poke bowls alongside craft tap beer.
  • All-Weather Rooftop Deck: Overhead heaters and a dedicated upstairs bar keep the partially covered rooftop deck running in any weather.

Before you head over

Practical advice on reservations, access, and rooftop amenities

  • Book Ahead for Rooftop Seats

    The rooftop bar gets very crowded in the evenings and on weekends, so reserve in advance if you want prime harbour-view tables.

  • Navigate Rooftop Access via Stairs

    Reaching the rooftop requires climbing a steep heritage staircase with handrails, which may pose a challenge for guests with mobility constraints.

  • Enjoy All-Weather Rooftop Comfort

    The open-air deck is partially covered and equipped with heaters and its own dedicated bar, keeping visits comfortable across changing weather conditions.
