Blu Bar on 36
Shangrila Hotel Level 36
176 Cumberland St
The Rocks, Sydney
We’d been meaning to visit Blu Bar for ages but something or other always came up. Well we’ve now had our chance and it was worth the wait. What a great place! With views out over the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and the harbour from 36 floors up, it really is a stunning place.
Although a Cosmopolitan wasn’t on their standard cocktails menu they were only too happy to make one if ordered. As it’s a favourite of Mlady’s she was keen to have this. It was in a champagne glass and was a tasty drop too.
Another non- menu item was a Dark and Stormy, again happily made to order. Arriving in a tall glass it looked great and tasted just as good.
A bowl of nibbles magically appeared while we were there. It was a tasty mix of nuts, pretzels and other crisp and spicy things. The good thing was that the bowl kept getting replaced with another full one too!
The floor to ceiling windows and sweeping views mean cameras are always visible. It’s such a great photo opportunity that no-one seems able to resist it.
Blu Bar on 36 is a place to go for stunning views, great drinks and excellent service. If you have visitors from interstate or overseas, put this on your list. It’s also a great place to impress on a date.
