The Salty Fox Rooftop Bar

The Salty Fox Rooftop Bar sits atop the Rydges Gold Coast hotel, offering views across the Pacific Ocean and directly over the airport runway. Both indoor and outdoor seating areas span the rooftop space, creating different zones for guests.

The bar opened as the region's first rooftop venue directly connected to airport hospitality, marking a shift in how the Gold Coast developed its entertainment options. Its creation reflects the area's broader growth in serving both travelers and local communities.

The venue draws both residents and travelers who gather to enjoy drinks and live music performances in an outdoor setting. Regular events create a social gathering rhythm that makes it a meeting point beyond typical nightlife.

The bar sits just meters from the airport terminal, making it accessible for travelers with short layovers or those between flights. It operates daily and accommodates visitors in both covered and open spaces depending on weather or preference.

The venue offers the uncommon experience of watching ocean waves and aircraft simultaneously taking off from the same elevated viewpoint. This dual perspective creates a setting found nowhere else in the area.
