About this space

Starchild is a rooftop bar and lounge defined by expansive skyline views framed by a high-level glass rooftop structure.

Design: The venue pairs low lounge seating, patterned rugs and marble-top tables beneath globe pendant lights, creating a layered, intimate scale and warm evening lighting.

Features: The venue has a staffed bar serving cocktails and bottle service, a built-in PA and speaker system, and a DJ-friendly layout that permits outside DJs. The venue also provides air conditioning, abundant natural light, step-free guest access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Social groups and professionals seeking a relaxed, music-led lounge for standing receptions or relaxed seated socializing.

What sets it apart: A retractable roof that converts the rooftop from open-air to climate-controlled in seconds.

What guests say: The venue has an intimate, tucked-away feel that visitors highlight. The venue's cocktails and bar dishes receive favourable mentions while service pace can be inconsistent.
