Rydges South Bank is again hosting a trio of unforgettable New Year’s Eve events to see 2025 out in style!

Rooftop New Year’s Eve – Level 12

Celebrate the arrival of 2026 from one of the best vantage points in Brisbane. Up on the Level 12 Rooftop, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the fireworks with two sessions to choose from; a family-friendly early sitting from 7pm to 9:15pm, or an adults-only celebration from 10pm right through to 12:30am. Guests are welcomed with a drink on arrival, delicious canapés, live DJ, and a full cash bar available all night. Tickets start from just $75 per person.

Bacchus Restaurant – New Year’s Eve Dinner

For one night only, Bacchus opens its doors for an elegant New Year’s Eve dining experience to farewell 2025 in true style. From 8pm to 11:30pm, guests are treated to a refined menu featuring some of Bacchus’ most loved dishes with paired wines. When midnight approaches, diners are invited to make their way up to the Level 12 rooftop for a spectacular fireworks viewing to welcome the new year. Reservations from $199 per person.

Soleil Pool Bar – NYE Poolside

If you prefer a more relaxed, open-air celebration, Soleil Pool Bar sets the scene perfectly. Enjoy the buzz of live DJs, two bars pouring all night, and Soleil’s signature poolside atmosphere. You can reserve a table or upgrade to a premium booth, and every ticket includes a $75 bar tab to spend on drinks. A light grazing menu keeps the celebrations flowing well into the evening.
