The Bankstown CBD is about to see a swanky rooftop bar open up — dubbed the Lady Banks — as part of Bankstown Sports Club’s new Flinders Centre office tower.
Plans for the attraction include 360 degree views of the Sydney skyline and a wide range of food and drinks on offer.
Bankstown Sports Club chief Mark Condi said the plan was to attract local residents in to work at the rooftop bar.
“Since the first seed of the Lady Banks Rooftop Bar idea was sown, engaging the local community to support employment and financial stability of the area has been of paramount importance,” he said. “At every point of development, we have made a conscious effort to source local materials and services.
“Lady Banks Rooftop Bar is the epitome of our vision of bringing, what has historically been an inner city experience, to southwest Sydney. ”
The name of the new venue pays homage to Lady Dorothea Banks, wife of botanist and Bankstown namesake, Sir Joseph Banks.
Italian-born hospitality guru, Francesco Motta will steer the ship at the new venue alongside head chef, Sarah Hanslow.
Lady Banks Rooftop Bar inspired by tapas cuisine that is bursting with flavour, colour and aroma.
“With the development of the Flinders Centre, we have always had a long term vision of creating an incredible commercial building in the heart of Bankstown,” Mr Condi said.
“It has been no mean feat getting to where we are today and it gives me a huge amount of pride to finally be able to introduce Lady Banks Rooftop Bar, the centrepiece of this ambitious journey.”
The Lady Banks Rooftop Bar will open to the public on July 30.
