Updated: Jan 22, 2026

The Terrace is Brisbane’s most luxurious rooftop bar, encased in glass with jaw-dropping 180 degree views all the way out to Moreton island from its perch atop Hotel Emporium South Bank.

A stunning 13m white backlit onyx bar takes pride of place in the centre, with a line-up of white fur bar stools here and on the expansive balcony and a scattering of elegant tables and chairs throughout, with walls of greenery adding a subtropical vibe.
