Taking inspiration from the venues and energy of Berlin, this urban rooftop is a mix of darkened spaces, graffiti and atrium style ceilings, exuding an atmosphere and edge your guests will love.

    I had my farewell dinner with friends at the Rook and the food and service were fantastic! The staff accommodated our request to have a table at the back. It was a lovely atmosphere where you could enjoy the bar scene and the amazing food, yet be able to talk a plenty as it wasn't too loud. Would highly recommend this place for special occasions if you are the kind of person who enjoys a casual dinner with a large group of friends with great food and relaxed service.

    Great location but very pricey burgers. There are better options in the CBD if you are looking for a good burger but the rooftop bar is a great space.

    Great food and ambiance! Definitely need a reservation, since all the tables had been reserved by the time the restaurant opened. Amazing Garlic Cream lobster! The drinks were also very good.

    Good celebrating a friend's birthday here. The burgers are part of a limited menu, but are done very well. The extensive choice of beer was also amazing!

    Food was great, but serving time was extremely slow, we waited more than 45mins for 4 dishes, maybe there were too many customers. The place was very noisy. Waitresses were not attentive. We order a full bottle of wine, she didn't let one of us taste it and directly poured the wine into glasses; not to mention, I had to chase our drinks as we waited 20mins after ordering, but nothing came

    Somewhat hard to find as the entrance is via a office building. But well worth the effort. Upon reaching level R, the music fills the senses as does the mood lighting, friendly service and great vibe.Very friendly and professional service with a smile. Great drinks and cocktail menu and the food is largely burgers or lobster based. Really exceptional quality food.Recommended as somewhere to go on a friday after work or on a weekend for a treat.
