The Old Clare Hotel

The Rooftop Bar at The Old Clare Hotel is a glass-canopied rooftop sanctuary perched above the heritage boutique hotel in Chippendale, Sydney. Open year-round thanks to its sheltering glass canopy, the bar offers city views and a relaxed, sophisticated escape from the bustle below, where guests can enjoy creative cocktails, beers, and wines alongside a menu of Eastern Mediterranean-inspired snacks and bites by A1 Canteen. The rooftop features a stunning 14-metre heated lap pool set on timber decking, available to hotel guests and offering a serene urban swim experience with views over Chippendale's rooftops. The intimate venue accommodates up to 85 guests for exclusive hire and 40 for private dining, making it an ideal setting for smaller gatherings seeking a chic, sheltered outdoor experience in one of Sydney's most creative inner-city neighbourhoods.
