Why it's worth checking out
Cicada Blu sits on Level 23 on William Street in the heart of Brisbane City. With 152 reviews behind its 3.6 rating, it has built a strong following.
The appeal is drinks with a view — an elevated rooftop bar with lovely outlooks over the city and river, a genuine draw for a drink, a cocktail and a bit of atmosphere high above central Brisbane. Its central location makes it an easy and welcoming destination.
Drinks lists, events and trading hours change over time, and rooftop bars get busy on weekends and warm evenings. To be sure of a spot and the latest details, it's worth checking directly with the venue before you plan your visit.
