The SoCal restaurant and rooftop bar is a hidden gem in the heart of Sydney’s North Shore. As soon as we arrived, my friends and I were immediately transported to Southern California, with the laid-back atmosphere and colorful decor. The fact that there were no views was quickly forgotten due to the amazing food and drinks.

The menu is filled with ‘share-style’ street food, which is perfect for groups like us who love to try a bit of everything. The Latin American influences on the dishes were evident and we couldn’t get enough of the ‘low’n’slow’ smoked meats. The drink menu was equally impressive, with a variety of cocktails that included Tequila as an ingredient. We also appreciated the selection of wines from California and Mexico, along with some local favorites.

While the food and drinks were definitely the highlight of the night, the rooftop bar itself was a great space to hang out in. We loved the easy-going and fun atmosphere, and it was the perfect place to catch up with friends. We also appreciated the live DJs and acoustic sessions that added to the vibrant atmosphere on weekend nights.

Overall, SoCal is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a rooftop bar with a Southern California vibe in Sydney. We highly recommend it for groups looking for a fun night out, or even a casual lunch or dinner. The opening hours on Fridays and Saturdays are until 2am, so there’s plenty of time to enjoy the amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem in Neutral Bay.
