Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Sunshine Coast

"After your early morning swim, be sure to enjoy a leisurely breakfast and coffee here. This fun place manages to blend chic with a casual beachside vibe. You can wander straight off the beach and grab a table on the outdoor terrace."

"Nestled down the Noosa National Park end of Hastings Street, Locale is not to be missed. Pop in for an aperitif and chances are you’ll stay through dinner, dessert, and an espresso nightcap. Serving authentic Italian dishes, including wood-fire pizzas, this sophisticated restaurant feels like a hidden enclave in a bustling resort town."

"This popular bar on Hasting Street has one of the most exciting cocktail menus in Noosa, crafted by award-winning mixologist Ben Walsh – and it’s just as popular for brunch as it is for a night out. “The bottomless brunch on Sunday is hugely popular and is a great way to celebrate Sunday with a boozy brunch with friends,” recommends Puttick. Every Sunday, the bar offers four brunch stations – think freshly grilled bug tails, charcuterie, an international cheese selection, BBQ meats, fruit and pastries – alongside either a AUS$10 (£5.50) cocktail menu or a bottomless brunch with free flowing cocktails, wine, sparkling wine and beer."

"There’s plenty to love about a visit to Miss Moneypenny’s on Noosa’s vibrant Hastings Street – the sunset deck overlooking the street, the cosy bar lounge and the intimate dining area, which boasts a delectable menu with a focus on shared plates such as barbecued snapper and lamb shoulder. “The hardest part is choosing which cocktail to order,” says Ben. “We take the art of cocktail making seriously and our extensive list is updated with seasonal cocktails made using fresh, local produce.” If you can’t decide what to order from the extensive menu, take a recommendation from the mixology master."

"Another place where coastal cool plays out; bar and restaurant Miss Moneypenny’s caters to a slightly younger crowd and vibes up the Noosa Woods end of Hastings Street come the weekend. The antipasto board here will be enough to fill you and your mates up, while you drown in hot cantimpalo salami and freshly baked ciabatta. And if you’re on the sharing train, not ordering the truffle fries or truffle mac and cheese with prosciutto crumbs would be a lost opportunity."

"Urban chic Italian fare with flair awaits diners at Bombetta on Noosa Drive at Noosa Heads. Presenting a trendy vibe with shiny black subway tiles, polished concrete floors and a moody charcoal colour..."

"You may need to hop in a car for this one, unless you live in Sunshine Beach, but Embassy XO is totally worth the short trip. Tucked upstairs along Duke Street, the lounge bar that stems off the city-sleek restaurant, is the perfect place to grab a knock-off drink sans pub vibe. With a cheap bar menu and an extended happy hour, once you’ve dropped in, you’ll be rallying your friends to make it a regular thing."

"Set along the iconic Hastings Street dining strip, Rococo epitomises all Noosa has to offer. Dine alfresco listening to magical music sounds while sipping a vintage wine and watch the foot traffic wal..."

"The Noosa River boardwalk, adjacent to trendy Gympie Terrace in Noosaville, stretches for approximately two kilometres. Locals and visitors alike love this Noosa attraction and frequently exercise along the strip. The boardwalk is flat, wide and passes beautiful scenery, accessible toilets, accessible cafes, and water sport activities."

"OYSTERS HAPPY HOUR - Join us for Happy Hour and enjoy $2 oysters between 3 - 5pm daily !. No bookings required."

"Noosa Beach House by Peter Kuruvita is the hidden secret at The Sheraton. ‘Another day, another celebrity chef’, you might secretly think to yourself, but expect to do as we did and quickly eat your words. Chef Peter Kuruvita took over the old Cato’s Bar & Grill at the Sheraton Noosa in 2013, and while the party still rages on downstairs, the intimate restaurant space at Noosa Beach House is elegance, Noosa-style."

"Monday - Sunday 5.00pm -10.00pm Celebrate great moments in life at Noosa Beach House Restaurant by Peter Kuruvita, where local flavours and international techniques inspire the menu. Telephone 07 5449 4754 for..."

"GREAT FOOD, DRINKS & DJ'S TILL MIDNIGHT. THIS IS ONE PARTY YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS!. 44 Noosa River Drive (07) 5447 3355"

"The passage of the Noosa River that cuts into the Great Sandy National Park north of Lake Cootharaba is poetically known as the ‘river of mirrors’ or the Everglades. Hosting almost half of the bird species found in Australia, the river's entire upper catchment is protected, making this one of the most pristine wetlands in the world. It's a perfect place to launch a kayak and camp in one of the many national park camping grounds along the riverbank."

"The Noosa River remains one of the most undisturbed rivers, acting as a mirror for the sunset to glimmer and sparkle on, with the hinterland in the background. When the beaches and lookouts are too crowded, head to Gympie Terrace, which is always a peaceful spot to watch the sun go down. To really satisfy all the senses, enjoy the show with fish and chips from Noosa Boathouse or take away pizza from Zachary’s."

"When we dine out as a couple, we look for a restaurant with great food, water views and beautiful sunsets. Noosa Boathouse is our favourite as it is perched right on the Noosa River. The menu features modern Australian cuisine, including local beef and seafood, locally harvested produce, and vegetarian options."

"Located on the top deck of the Noosa Boathouse is the Sunset Bar, open Tuesday – Sunday from 4:30pm. Arguably the best place to watch the sun set in Noosa, soak in the spectacular river views while sipping on their famous Noosa River Sling cocktail for only $9!"

"Set along the iconic Hastings Street dining strip, Rococo epitomises all Noosa has to offer. Dine alfresco listening to magical music sounds while sipping a vintage wine and watch the foot traffic wal..."

"Jean Jacques Le Faou is the master French patissier behind Le Bon Delice, a French-style patisserie as authentic as it gets this side of Paris. Jean Jacques has made desserts for stars throughout his career from Alice Cooper to Prince Charles, but settled in Australia with a desire to see more of the world. Luckily for the Noosa community, they have a go-to authentic French patisserie where they can enjoy a sweet treat such as fresh éclairs, mousse cakes and delicate lemon tarts by the beach."

"We get it, sometimes you just want something familiar, and the smell of waffle cones cooking in the irons as you wander down Hastings St is hard to ignore. Royal Copenhagen is another Noosa institution serving up quality ice cream to visitors for decades. All the usual flavour suspects are front and centre in the Dutch Style."

"Another favourite along Hastings St. and steps from Noosa Main Beach, the Royal Copenhagen serves ice-cream, gluten-free sorbets and low-fat yoghurts with free sprinkles!. Go for the chocolate-dipped cone covered with nuts with your choice of flavour. You can get your ice-cream fix daily from 9am till late."

"Spoil yourself with handcrafted artisanal gelato and gourmet waffles made fresh daily in-store from Happy Pops Noosa. Try their summer special of coconut yoghurt, passionfruit and mango pop, or choose from a wide range of gelato, sorbet, waffle, yoghurt or brownies, then get creative with your toppings."

"Happy Pops offers gourmet gelato, waffles and brownies, served on a stick, alongside the finest soft serve and milkshakes. All natural and handcrafted in Noosa. “Pop” in for a visit,..."
