About Tilly May's @ The Trinity

Tilly May's is the rooftop bar above The Trinity, a pub on the corner of Crown and Devonshire streets in Surry Hills that has traded since 1882. A light rail stop sits at the door, and Central Station's Devonshire Street exit is a short walk away. Upstairs the look is vintage Surry Hills, with warm lighting, exposed ceilings and old timber, and each space is named after a character from the area's colourful past. The whole bar can be booked exclusively for 70 to 90 guests, with a private bar, a projector screen, a sound system for playlists or DJs, and furniture that can be rearranged or cleared for a dance floor. The retractable roof closes over the room when the weather turns. Smaller groups can book a section instead: Divine's Dining Room behind a gold curtain for seated dinners, Leigh's Lounge by the fire for up to 20, or Annie's Area beneath the roof with high tables for up to 50. The rooftop has its own bathrooms and wheelchair access. Catering comes as canapé packages in four sizes, from four pieces per guest up to a ten-piece spread, plus an antipasto station, a shared set menu and a shared banquet where you pick two dishes per course. Drinks packages for events of 30 or more cost $70 per person for three hours or $80 for four on the standard list, and $80 or $95 on the elite list, with cocktails on arrival for $22 per person. Prepaid bar tabs are also available. A 25% deposit holds the date, and BYO isn't accepted.

Frequently asked questions

How many guests can Tilly May's hold?

Exclusive hire of the whole rooftop bar is for 70 to 90 guests. Annie's Area suits up to 50, Leigh's Lounge up to 20, and Divine's Dining Room is set up for smaller seated dinners.

What happens if it rains?

The rooftop has a retractable roof, so it can be closed over and your event carries on whatever the weather.

Can we bring a DJ?

Yes, with exclusive hire. The bar has its own sound system for music and DJs; using it or booking live entertainment needs a level-exclusive event, and outside contractors must supply their insurance details.

How much are drinks packages?

For events of 30 or more, the standard package is $70 per person for three hours or $80 for four, and the elite package $80 or $95. A classic cocktail on arrival adds $22 per person, and prepaid bar tabs are available.

What are the booking terms?

A 25% deposit reserves the space, final numbers and catering are due 14 days out, and the balance is paid three days before. If the agreed minimum spend isn't reached, the shortfall is charged as venue hire. 21st parties of more than 20 guests need security.
