The Lady Banks Rooftop Bar is a modern, vibrant and exciting destination; a sanctuary where you can meet friends and soak in uninterrupted 360 degree views whilst sipping on world class cocktails and enjoying a perfectly curated menu. Her heritage stems all the way back to 1795, named after the wife of Sir Joseph Banks – Lady Dorothea Banks. Joseph Banks was a naturalist & botanist and named a unique thornless Rose “The Lady Banks Rose” after Lady Dorothea. This rose is a climbing rose and yellow in colour; a fitting representation of the Sunrise and Sunset that can be enjoyed from every aspect on the Lady Banks Rooftop. Be delighted with our modern interpretation of everything the Lady Banks Rose represents – uniqueness, effortlessness and vibrancy. Please enjoy Lady Banks Rooftop – an experience like no other

A sophisticated restaurant, with a large balcony overlooking the lush green of Brighton Lakes. There is something for everyone at The Pavilion Restaurant.In the late 1920s, a group of golfers created the North Brighton Golf Club on the opposite side of the Cooks River to Sydney Airport, using a tin shed on the course as a clubhouse and paying two shillings in rent to the landowner for their 18 holes.The rapid growth of international air transport after WWII meant major runway extensions that eventually forced the Club to find a new home, and in 1950 a new site in Milperra was found, and the New Brighton Golf Club was formed.In 1979, the Club had part of the course resumed to make way for the building of the M5 Motorway. Construction of four new replacement golf holes commenced in June 1980, with players teeing off from 1982. The necessary redesign of the layout enabled New Brighton to attain Group One status.

Had dinner with my partner, staff were all very friendly and respectful. We really enjoyed talking to some of the staff that came up and had a conversation with us! Food and drinks were great as well. We found the music to be a bit loud at the end, but other than that we had a good night! :)
