Barangaroo

Barangaroo House looks more like a large-scale art installation than a place to grab a drink. From the outside, it looks like three giant black soup bowls stacked one on top of another, and while you can certainly eat dinner here, the rooftop cocktail bar—Smoke—is really your jam. The champagne menu alone has more than fifty titles, and the cocktails are complex with unusual twists, like cardamom, watermelon mist, and house-made mint oil. (Non-drinkers should note that the same thought and care has gone into the alcohol-free cocktails.)
