Perched atop the Emporium Hotel in South Brisbane, LINA Rooftop is a chic open-air bar that draws locals and visitors alike for its sweeping views of the Brisbane River and city skyline. The space is defined by sleek modern furnishings, lush greenery, and a retractable roof that allows for year-round enjoyment. By day, it's a sun-drenched spot for a leisurely afternoon drink; by night, the mood shifts to a glamorous lounge with ambient lighting and a DJ spinning house and chill-out tunes. The cocktail menu is inventive, featuring signature concoctions like the LINA Spritz, alongside a curated wine list and premium spirits. Small plates and bar snacks complement the drinks, with options ranging from oysters to truffle fries. The service is attentive, and the crowd is a mix of sophisticated professionals and travelers seeking a memorable night out. LINA's location in the cultural precinct makes it an ideal stop before or after a show at QPAC or a gallery visit.
