About this space

The Garden Bar and Terrace is a Terrace in Tatler Sydney, an intimate, plant-lined outdoor extension that continues the venue’s vintage speakeasy character.

Design: The terrace combines timber decking, painted low walls and upholstered vintage seating with potted palms and warm lantern lighting to create a compact, textured outdoor room.

Features: The terrace has timber-decked outdoor seating, direct access to the venue’s indoor bar through wide doors, a built-in PA system and a cleared area suitable for a small dance floor. The space can be serviced by the in-house bar and event staff and supports plated or grazing food options.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social evening reception or informal standing gathering that flows between bar and outdoor seating.

What sets it apart: A tiered arrangement of short steps and raised platforms that creates several semi-private seating niches across the outdoor area.

What guests say: The space has a lively, social atmosphere. The space is supported by attentive, organised staff who assist with planning and on-the-night coordination.

We had the terrace and garden bar for a party of around 45 and it was perfect! There is room to sit or stand and easy access to the reserved bar area. Brendan was so obliging in allowing early access to drop off balloons and a birthday cake. His communication and guidance throughout was exceptional, and he's a very calm person, which makes organising a party less stressful! I ordered some pizzas and they were a great size (bigger than I expected) and delicious. I had a bar tab and the staff kept me posted throuout the night. I think the cocktails were a hit as they weren't included, but so many of my friends were loving them! The bar staff were amazing, the doorman welcoming, and the DJ had everyone up on the dancefloor until it was time to go home. This was a big birthday, and the night couldn't have gone anymore perfectly. Thank you to Brendan and the team :)
Everything was perfect :)
