In November 2024, The Point* Group, the masterminds behind some of Sydney’s most beloved venues, unveiled The International, a landmark multi-dimensional destination in the bustling heart of Sydney’s CBD at Martin Place.
Perched high above the city’s vibrant social and civic core, The International offers guests a trio of distinct venues: The Wine Bar, The Grill, and The Panorama Bar, each promising a unique and captivating experience.
At the pinnacle of The International, The Panorama Bar offers a breathtaking vista of Sydney’s iconic skyline. Nestled atop Martin Place, this rooftop gem provides an unparalleled perspective, where the modernity of the city meets the charm of heritage architecture, with the towering MLC Building standing sentinel. The Panorama Bar is the epitome of Sydney’s high-end ‘sip and snack’ culture, making it the perfect destination for sunlit lunches, golden hour gatherings, and spirited nighttime escapades.
Culinary director Joel Bickford and executive chef Danny Corbett have curated a menu that celebrates the best of small plates and light snacks. The culinary offerings are a delightful play on taste and presentation, featuring a cold bar and a hot bank of Hibachi grills that serve up a variety of snacks. Whether it’s delicacies on a stick, nestled in a bun, presented on toast, or served chilled on ice, the menu is a culinary adventure. Guests can indulge in an ever-changing array of yakitori-style meat, fish, and vegetables, freshly shucked oysters, raw fish preparations like tuna and kingfish, crispy fried prawn toast, and the coal-kissed squid. Not to be missed are the standout dishes such as the popcorn lobster roll seasoned with togarashi, promising a burst of flavors in every bite.
Complementing the menu is a seasonal drinks list that features an impressive lineup of cocktails alongside a curated selection of Champagne and Chablis, ensuring top-notch refreshment throughout the summer months. Guests can expect innovative twists on classic cocktails and vibrant concoctions that cater to every mood, perfectly suited for lounging under the sun, savoring the sunset, or enjoying the lively nighttime atmosphere.
The Panorama Bar embodies a luxurious yet relaxed rooftop vibe, enhanced by garden terraces that echo Seidler’s renowned architectural curves. Every corner offers new discoveries, from intimate nooks perfect for small groups to atmospheric fire pits surrounded by plush lounges. With ample space to unwind, guests can also enjoy a dynamic program of Sydney’s top DJs, adding an auditory delight to the visual and culinary feast.
Whether you’re a local Sydneysider or a visitor seeking the quintessential Sydney experience, The International’s Panorama Bar offers an inviting escape into a world of culinary delight and scenic beauty, where glamour meets informal charm in the most spectacular setting.
