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.

Amazing night for my 50th with 50 friends. I got so many compliments about the venue, the service, the quality of the food and drinks. Brendan was super easy and reliable to deal with. 5 star experience all around.

Such a cool venue! The music was great, and the bar staff and security were amazing throughout the night. Everyone was really friendly and helpful, and we had such a good experience overall. Would definitely recommend Tatler for an event or night out.
