LINA ROOFTOP

Lina Rooftop brings a French Riviera-inspired restaurant, bar and pool to South Bank, with wide views across Brisbane’s river and city skyline. The venue is built around its rooftop setting, including an indoor restaurant and open-air terrace, making it suited to a relaxed meal, drinks with a view or a longer afternoon by the pool. The website describes the outlook as extending across 180 degrees of Brisbane’s skyline, so the setting is a central part of the experience rather than a background detail.

The food takes its direction from the Mediterranean coast, with a summer à la carte menu designed for sharing. The venue’s menu listings also include the Saint Barts Banquet, L’Entrecôte Steak Menu and Banquet du Chef, giving diners a choice between à la carte dining and more structured group experiences. Lina says its menus are developed by an award-winning team, with dishes described as light and fruit-forward. There is also a wine and beverages menu, while the poolside program offers a separate way to spend time at the venue.

For larger gatherings, Lina Rooftop operates as a function and events venue with spaces for groups of 10 to 500. Its events team works with organisers, and the venue can draw on the restaurant, terrace, river and skyline views, drinks offering and French Riviera-inspired menus for private or group occasions. The scale makes it relevant for everything from a smaller celebration to a substantial event, although groups should note that a discretionary surcharge applies to parties of 10 or more outside functions and events.

The restaurant welcomes all ages, while the pool deck is strictly for guests aged 18 and over. That makes the main dining space the better option for families, while the pool area is aimed at adults looking for a resort-style afternoon or evening in the city. Smart-casual dress is required, the venue is cashless, and credit-card surcharges apply. Lina Rooftop is at 74–80 Tribune Street, South Brisbane, and holds a 4.5 Google rating from 2,100 reviews.
