I prefer this bar.RoiMartel wrote:I was given a guided tour by the overly pretentious concierge a few months ago. He was so proud of the fact that its 1 metre higher up than 2KW.ghs wrote:Has anyone been to the rooftop bar ?
Is it like 2KW ?
Anyway, its an OK bar, nice rooftop area and it has a dedicated smokers balcony.
IMO, 2KW is better.
Side note; beware of the cougers up there.....
The crowd is fairly similar but I like to view better on the CMB.

I shit you not. Walked right past it, did a bit of a double-take but it's definitely there. A very miniature but architecturally identical version. I wonder which came first? Gives a good impression of what the Adelaide building would have looked like before the windows were tampered with. On a side note I'm in awe of the beautiful heritage architecture here in Hobart - they do a pretty good job of facade retention too...monotonehell wrote:You're shitting us? That's amazing.

I kind of thought it was common knowledge that there were CML buildings across the country, but I guess not everyone's as obsessive as I am.monotonehell wrote: You're shitting us? That's amazing. Are there any others, I wonder
Check out "The Manor Apartments" in Brisbane. It's pretty similar to ours.
Perth also had one that was very similar to ours, but they were fools and knocked it down in the '80s.
There's a few more smaller ones across Australia, and even Durban in South Africa has one too.

Never knew that - can't believe Perth knocked theirs down, some weird stuff went on in the 80s...
