Zeta Bar is an opulent oasis in the heart of the city, filled with purple hues and dark wood tones. Located atop a breathtaking CBD rooftop terrace, Zeta reveals a never seen before viewpoint of the historical Queen Victoria Building and looks onto the length of George Street spanning down towards the harbour. The inspired interior features indulgent spaces to sip cocktails. A sleek oak wood island bar runs the length of the main room flooded in a deep red and purple glow from huge glass lamps. In the lounge there is an array of plush leather ottomans and dark timber tub chairs centered around a stylish oversized fireplace which burns with sparkling glass rocks. Zeta changed the face of Sydney’s bar landscape when it burst onto the drinking scene as part of The Hilton Sydney in 2005.

Zeta has since established a reputation as one of the most cutting edge and pioneering bars in the Southern Hemisphere, having led the way by championing some of the most prominent global bar trends in the world, such as:

Misting

A technique used to enhance the flavour of your drink and break down the composites in Gin and Vodka, the mist works wonderfully with your classic gin or vodka based Martini. A mist of juniper, citrus or vanilla can be applied to the top of your drink with an atomiser, which not only brings out the flavour in the spirit but softens the overall flavour.

Spritzing

Another innovative global trend Zeta Bar has embraced is ‘spritzing’, which involves using a soda siphon filled with CO2 gas to add a carbonated flavour to the top of your drink. This method in particular gives the classic Bellini a molecular infusion.

Ice

And a brand new global cocktail trend is emerging, with bartenders around the world showing unprecedented interest in ice, previously an anonymous bit player in cocktails. Zeta offers freshly chipped ice from a triple frozen ultrapure block of ice in luxury spirits.

Zeta Bar is fast becoming a Sydney icon with visiting international celebs. Jessica Simpson, Kimberley Stewart, James Blunt, Nicky Hilton, Snoop Dogg and Nicole Ritchie have all partied there... And Aussie A-listers Jennifer Hawkins, Hugh Jackman, Ian Thorpe, and Megan Gale often stop by for a beverage...

Warm colours, cool drinks and exceptional service from renowned Sydney bartenders give Zeta an undeniable edge, making it the city’s hottest nightspot for sipping a cocktail or simply relaxing on the outdoor terrace.

“The sexy new bar on level 4. She’s a total spunk and quite the internationalist. Ottomans nestled around a glassed in fireplace, very... New York, curtained enclaves create a Middle Eastern feel along one wall (think shisha pits in Cairo), while views from the open veranda overlooking the copper domes of the QVB, could be Rome, London or Paris” The Sun Herald.
