Fiume Rooftop Bar: River Views and Rosé Vibes in the Heart of BrisVegas

By www.BrisVegas.com.au

Perched atop the artsy-funky Crystalbrook Vincent hotel, Fiume Rooftop Bar is Brisbane’s answer to “What if the Amalfi Coast met the Brisbane River… and brought cocktails?” Translating to “river” in Italian, Fiume delivers exactly that: sweeping water views, Mediterranean elegance, and a splash of that irresistible BrisVegas cheek.

Let’s start with location — because real estate is everything, darling. Sitting pretty above Howard Smith Wharves, this rooftop bar is perfectly placed for sipping, schmoozing, and soaking in the glittering city skyline as ferries glide by below. The crowd? Think linen shirts, flowy dresses, and that sun-kissed smugness only found in people who know they picked the perfect sundowner spot.

Now, on to the important stuff: drinks. Fiume’s cocktail list is a thing of beauty, crafted with equal parts creativity and class. The “Italian Stallion” (vodka, elderflower, prosecco, and a citrusy zing) is a crowd pleaser with kick. The “Peachy Keen” is pure flirty fun — a juicy gin and peach liqueur number that pairs very well with rooftop gossip. Prefer something classic? The negroni is smooth and sophisticated, served with a twist of Brisbane charm.

Sharing is encouraged (but not enforced), especially with the charcuterie platter — stacked high with prosciutto, cheeses, olives, and more crunchy carbs than your PT would approve of. For mains, the Kingfish crudo with finger lime is light, zingy, and pairs perfectly with your second (or third) cocktail. And if you’re feeling extra indulgent, go for the wagyu beef burger — juicy, rich, and completely unapologetic.

Looking for something to finish on a sweet note? The citrus tart is punchy and refreshing, while the chocolate hazelnut mousse is basically Nutella in a tuxedo. Divine.

What really sets Fiume apart is its vibe. It’s luxe without being stuffy, polished without losing its playful edge. The DJs spin mellow beats as the golden hour hits, and you’ll find yourself wondering if you’ve wandered onto the set of a lifestyle shoot. (Hint: you have. This is BrisVegas, after all.)

Whether you’re entertaining out-of-towners, planning a pre-party with your crew, or just in the market for a rosé-soaked sunset with serious main character energy, Fiume delivers the goods — and then some.
