BRIEF
Create a modern and inviting rooftop bar that honours the history of the destination and complements the surrounding views.
EXPERIENCE
Lady Banks is a multi-seasonal sanctuary, inspired by the horizon and heritage of the Bankstown destination.
As the area’s only Rooftop bar, the venue boasts 360-degree panoramic views that capture the impressive Sydney skyline to the Blue Mountains. The indoor and outdoor space provides year-round opportunities to soak up the sites in relaxed comfort.
Named for the Lady Banks rose, the venue is proudly connected to the area’s history – the rose being named after Lady Dorothea Banks, wife of botanist and Bankstown namesake, Sir Joseph Banks.
Fittingly, the bar balances a modern and playful rooftop bar experience while paying homage to its muse, the beautiful and elegant rose. Climbing roses and references to floral forms connect the story of the venue to its physical space, culminating in a relaxed and approachable atmosphere. Meanwhile, the muted and honest finishes selections seamlessly balance both summer and winter aspects, providing the ultimate rooftop reprieve for its patrons.
