Above 8 Rooftop Bar & Lounge

A true hidden gem! I recently visited this rooftop bar and was genuinely impressed. The space itself is a hidden gem — stunning views, a relaxed vibe, and the perfect spot to unwind. The cocktails were fantastic and made really well. I ordered the garlic pizza and the prawn & avocado salad, and both were delicious. The flavours were fresh, light, and exactly what i were hoping for. The staff were incredibly accommodating and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for great food, great drinks, and an even better atmosphere!

A Fantastic Dining Experience at Above 8 We had the pleasure of dining at Above 8, and from start to finish, it was an incredible experience! The food was absolutely delicious—we couldn’t fault a single dish. We enjoyed pan-fried barramundi, chicken supreme, and for dessert, the vanilla cheesecake with raspberry and raspberry sorbet, along with the indulgent Valrhona Delice. Every bite was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. To complement our meal, we sipped on Little Goat Creek Sauvignon Blanc and Quilty Shiraz, both excellent choices that elevated our dining experience even further. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly smiles, and the exceptional service continued throughout the night. The staff truly made our evening special. If you're looking for a fantastic restaurant with amazing food, great wine, and outstanding service, Above 8 Rooftop Bar & Lounge is a must-visit! Highly recommended.

Hidden gem in Hurstville hahaha. I always thought it was hard to find a great place for Western food in Hurstville, but Above8 is awesome! The only hard part is that it’s a bit tricky to find – you have to go into Club Central, take the lift to the top and then find your way out, which is a bit confusing. But the food is absolutely great! I love the service, the vibe, and the prices are really fair for the quality. I’ll definitely be back. And during lunchtime the view is amazing if you sit outside.

Dined at Central Cucina which was a great laid back experience. Waiter, Ben, was exceptional with great customer service and people skills 👏 The food was generously portioned, tasty and affordable. A good experience for a family dine out.

Came here for 4 others for a birthday dinner. We ordered the Sweet Potato Crisps, Prawn and Avocado Salad, Panfried Crispy Skin Barramundi, Prawn and Pesto Pizza, XO E Granchio Pizza and Orecchiette Alfredo Pasta. The Sweet Potato Crisps were thin and crispy, seasoned well, and had a nice guacamole to accompany it. The Prawn and Avocado Salad was very nice; all the ingredients were very fresh and the yuzu dressing was a very nice touch. The crumbed fried prawns were cooked perfectly, and both the avocado and mango were at the perfect ripeness for the salad. The Panfried Crispy Skin Barramundi was perfectly cooked, and it had great seasoning, crispy skin, and was complimented well by the sauce vierge. The Prawn and Pesto Pizza was tasty, the prawns and pesto went very well together. However, the XO E Granchio Pizza was a little disappointing, the flavours didn't quite work for our group (especially the XO sauce), and the spanner crab seemed a little unfresh as it had a very fishy taste. On the other hand, the Orecchiette Alfredo Pasta was probably the group's favourite dish - crispy pork crackles, perfectly cooked pork belly and al dente pasta, all with an amazing creamy sauce bringing it together. The whole group had enough to eat and we were all very satisfied at the end of the meal. The service was not too long. Additionally, our waiter, Anthony, was friendly, funny and helpful; offering suggestions on what to order, checking in with us throughout the meal, and assisting us with photos. The atmosphere was good; nice decorations, waterview (apart from the carpark next door) and because the restaurant was not too busy, it was not too noisy. Overall, this was a very enjoyable experience, with high quality food, and service comparable to fine dining. We only paid ~$32pp. I definitely recommend the Orecchiette Alfredo Pasta if you visit. We will be back!
