Aviary Rooftop Bar

Aviary Rooftop Bar is a rooftop dining and drinking venue at 5 Melia Ct, Southport, above the Southport Sharks precinct. The elevated setting gives the bar views across the Surfers Paradise skyline and towards the Gold Coast Hinterland, bringing a sense of occasion to casual drinks, dinner and private celebrations.

The menu combines carefully made cocktails with handmade Italian pizzas and tapas-style dishes. The format suits sharing, with food that can work alongside drinks or form part of a more relaxed evening meal. Takeaway is also available for guests who prefer to enjoy the menu away from the venue.

The atmosphere shifts through the week with a program of food and drink offers, live music and DJ sessions. Midweek specials add an easygoing reason for an after-work visit, while weekend entertainment gives the rooftop a livelier evening character. Event programming changes, so the venue calendar is useful when planning a visit around music or other activities.

Private functions are part of the venue’s offering. The Deck provides a semi-private indoor event area with large windows and skyline outlooks, while other event arrangements can be discussed with the venue team. The setting works for adult birthdays, social gatherings and celebrations that benefit from a rooftop backdrop.

Aviary Rooftop Bar is an over-18 venue, making it more suited to adult evenings than family dining. The combination of cocktails, Italian pizza, shareable dishes, city views and entertainment makes it a practical choice for dinner, drinks, group occasions and relaxed celebrations in Southport.
