Expected an amazing experience and was surprised to leave within 45 mins because the venue was freezing cold, extremely loud as though we were in a club, waiters were almost bumping into us for our experience because the seats were closely cramped and badly arranged (not their fault). Loud corporate groups nearby ruined the experience further. The drinks were fine, just ordinary cocktails you’d find at outer suburbs bar that’s trying to market itself as premium. The bar staff didn’t have the language to describe the differences between the drinks, only could call them ‘sweeter’ or ‘tart’. Pub ambiance for premium drinks prices. The view was stunning of course, but where we planned to spend a few hours for our anniversary we left early.

Popped in for a drink to send off my wife on a holiday. The staff here are really friendly and the bar can make almost anything. I was a bit sad they removed their pour over expresso martini. That was great. Overall this place doesn’t disappoint.

Nothing beats the view & exceptional service - The Lui Bar never disappoints!!! The Unearthed Mushroom Vol Au Vent whilst very yummy is a bit small, however the Fried Chicken, Crème Fraiche, Fermented Chilli is a massive serve and DELICIOUS!!! Air conditioning for tables on the window needs to be turned up or reconfigured for the Aussie summer - we sweated our way through the sunset but was worth it xxx

We did love the venue, food, drinks, service but I was not expecting too much noise at a private booth! Impossible to talk with speakers next to you (they should had kept that volume for the dancing floor )
