Awards & Recognition:
Overview
Hennessy Rooftop Bar sits atop the Mayfair Hotel, offering an elevated drinking experience in both a literal and luxurious sense. Named after the historic Hennessy family, whose legacy is tied to the hotel’s heritage-listed building, the bar is a tribute to refinement, comfort, and timeless glamour — with a spectacular view to match.
The venue is split into multiple zones, including a glass-enclosed indoor lounge, open-air rooftop terrace, and private spaces ideal for functions. The interiors are plush and elegant, with velvet textures, marble accents, and mood lighting that sets a sophisticated tone from the moment you step in.
The cocktail list is curated and seasonal, featuring both signature creations and elevated classics. Expect house infusions, fresh garnishes, and premium spirits presented with finesse. The bar also boasts a well-rounded selection of wines, including local South Australian favourites and Champagne by the glass, as well as craft beer and top-shelf whiskies.
Hennessy attracts a well-dressed crowd, and it’s one of the few venues in Adelaide where the dress code leans toward smart casual or cocktail attire, especially on weekends. Service is attentive and professional, adding to the overall sense of exclusivity and polish.
Perfect for romantic evenings, pre-dinner drinks, or high-end celebrations, Hennessy Rooftop Bar delivers an experience that feels truly special. With city lights below and luxury all around, it’s a destination that raises the bar — in every sense.
