Girls' Night, Unlocked: The Ultimate Night Out in The Rocks

Round up your girls, pop on something fabulous, and head to The Rocks for an unforgettable night out. As part of Unlock The Rocks, you’ll sip cocktails, graze on delicious bites, and soak up live jazz under the stars. From sunset drinks with a view to indulgent share plates and moonlit music, it’s the ultimate girls’ night out.

4pm - Cocktails with a view at Blu Bar on 36

Nothing says “start the night right” like cocktails 36 floors up. Head to Shangri-La’s Blu Bar for a Passion Star Martini, paired with a luxe Wagyu Girolamo bresola canapé with truffle cream on toasted brioche. Sip, snap the skyline, and soak up the high-rise glamour.

5pm - Rooftop cheers at The Glenmore

Next stop: The Glenmore rooftop. Take in harbour views with a refreshing Davidson Plum & Mandarin Gin Fizz in hand and enjoy a zingy Vietnamese Pacific oyster. It’s fresh, vibrant, and one of Sydney’s best rooftop experiences.

6pm - Dinner at The Australian Heritage Hotel

Slide into a cosy booth at this iconic pub and share the Coat of Arms Pizza—a bold and uniquely Aussie creation topped with emu, pepper kangaroo, slow-roasted tomato, charred peppers and a drizzle of lemon myrtle mayo. Delicious, different, and totally worthy of the group chat.

6.45pm - Wine, cheese & charcuterie at Mrs. Jones

Wine not? Head to Mrs. Jones for the ultimate grazing moment. Share a board of premium cheeses, cured meats, truffle honey, and crisp lavosh, all paired with a bottle of Grant Burge Shiraz or Pinot Grigio. It’s giving luxury—but split the bill and it’s a steal at $65.

7.30pm - Jazz under the stars at The Rocks Square

Time to let the rhythm take over. Every Thursday night, Jazz Sessions brings the vibes with free live music, handcrafted cocktails, and delicious snacks—all under the stars in The Rocks Square.

Presented by SIMA, the curated lineup features some of Australia’s most exciting contemporary jazz artists. Grab a drink from Hickson House, settle in for two soulful sets (6:30pm & 7:30pm), and soak up the smooth sounds in the most magical setting.

It’s the ultimate post-dinner treat, and best of all? No bookings, no cover charge—just great music, great company, and unforgettable atmosphere. If it rains, don’t worry: the party moves indoors to 6–8 Atherden Street.

8.30pm - Nightcap & nibbles at The Doss House

End your night on a cosy note at The Doss House, a moody underground bar with vintage flair. Their Pistachio Whiskey Sour and gooey pistachio chocolate brownie are the final word in winter indulgence. It’s giving fireside gossip and last laughs.
