About Aviary Rooftop Bar

Perched atop Mantra at Sharks, this adults-only open-air roost pairs skyline and Hinterland views with wood-fired pizzas and craft cocktails. Regulars head straight for the outdoor deck at twilight—where live music or DJs back up rounds of espresso martinis and charred pies like the Smoke on the Water, topped with smoked burrata, prosciutto, and balsamic reduction.

  • Adults-Only Roost: Strictly 18-and-over policy atop the Mantra hotel creates a relaxed, grown-up setting with open deck views of the Gold Coast skyline.
  • Wood-Fired Pizza Focus: Artisan wood-fired pies come straight from the oven alongside Italian share plates like pork and beef meatballs in tomato sugo.
  • Half-Price Wednesdays: Dine-in guests tap half-price food promotions every Wednesday between 3:00pm and 8:30pm.

  • Attentive Large-Group Hospitality

    Private gatherings on the deck and inside spaces enjoy tailored drink service, seamless catering runs, and flexible contingency planning for weather.

    Cameron, the bar manager, did a fantastic job on the night to ensure everything went smoothly, even bringing out a dessert for me with a candle as my cake.

  • Artisan Wood-Fired Pizza Focus

    Artisan wood-fired pizzas feature house-made dough, balanced toppings, and traditional craftsmanship paired with signature cocktail programs.

    The crust was perfect and the topping combinations were fresh and well balanced. The live music on Friday evening was a great addition.

Artisan wood-fired pizzas crafted atop the rooftop deck

  • Smoke on the Water

    The Smoke on the Water featured house red sauce, smoked burrata, prosciutto, rocket, balsamic reduction, and merlot salt, creating a symphony of flavours.

  • Red Hot Chili Peppers pizza

    The Red Hot Chili Peppers pizza was a highlight with house red sauce, pepperoni, truffle salami, pork and fennel sausage, mozzarella, and Fresno chili.

    Russo

  • Bloody Valentine pizza

    The Bloody Valentine pizza combined house red sauce, prosciutto, Frenzo chili, radicchio, celeriac remoulade, and pecorino. The radicchio and celeriac remoulade added a refreshing crunch, complementing the rich and salty prosciutto and pecorino perfectly.

  • Budgie Smuggler

    The pizzas were excellent. I recommend the Budgie Smuggler and Gangnam Style.
