High above Surry Hills, Lottie pulses with city energy. Perched on the rooftop of The Eve Hotel, it’s a seasonal escape that blends bold Mexican flavours with standout Australian produce. Vibrant, laid-back and full of intent.
Just past the entry, the Mezcaleria sets the tone. It’s the bar at Lottie, and a destination in its own right. A vibrant space pouring mezcals, raicillas and tequilas, alongside a Margarita lineup that is classic, spiced or seasonal. Cocktails follow the rhythm of the produce, layered with hibiscus, chamoy, citrus and chilli. A curated snack menu from the kitchen is also on hand, with small bites like carne apache with salsa macha, guacamole with tortilla crisps and ocean trout tostadas with habanero mandarin.
The dining experience begins with punchy dishes designed to be eaten in one perfect bite. Highlights include kangaroo tail sopes, beetroot empanadas and prawn and carrot aguachile with salsa macha and pickled jicama. The menu builds with shared mains such as Murray cod from a regenerative farm, free-range pork jowl served with cola mole, and a standout beef chop. All designed to be eaten with house made tortillas pressed daily from masa imported from Mexico.
Designed by George Livissianis, the space mirrors the menu. Cayenne terrazzo underfoot, soft banquettes, climbing greenery and skyline views. A rooftop that is tactile, open and just the right amount of poolside cool. From long lunches to icy Margaritas at sundown, everything feels better up here.

As the sun dips over Redfern, Lottie settles into its golden-hour rhythm. Our weekly Sunset DJ Set brings a warm, stylish soundtrack to the rooftop, blending balearic ease with soulful edits, Latin grooves and a touch of afro-jazz. It is music for conversation and clinking glasses, a feel-good flow that lifts the room without ever stealing it. Fridays run 5pm to 9pm, Saturdays and Sundays 3pm to 7pm.
Margarita Month
February 22nd is officially Margarita Day, but at Lottie we’re celebrating all month long. Join us for four weeks of margarita madness with a dedicated cocktail menu, a Margarita Hour, and the chance to pre-purchase your first margarita for just $15 when you book.
