About Aviary Rooftop Bar
Aviary Rooftop Bar sits on top of a hotel on Melia Court in Southport, high enough to take in the Surfers Paradise skyline on one side and the hinterland on the other. It is an over 18s venue with a smart casual dress code, so it suits grown-up celebrations. Two areas can be booked for an event. The Deck is an indoor space with big windows that feels semi-private while keeping the buzz of the main bar. The Nest is the outdoor option, a green rooftop patch that works for afternoon sun and for dancing once it gets dark. Anyone wanting the place to themselves can ask about hiring the full venue, and one past host used it that way for an engagement party. The kitchen is built around handmade Italian pizzas from a woodfired oven and tapas-style plates, with cocktails as the bar's focus. Event packages are ready to go, and the team is happy to adjust them to suit your plans. On a normal week the rooftop trades from Wednesday to Sunday, with live musicians on the weekend and DJs on Friday and Saturday nights. To start planning, send an enquiry with your date, your guest numbers and the area you have in mind.

What a ripper place to vibe. The house made pizzas were to die for. The staff were great and the view special with a good mix of indoor and outdoor dining areas. Highly recommended.
