Sky’s The Limit: The Star Brisbane Unveils Sky Deck Venues, Babblers & Cicada Blu

Soaring 100 metres above the Brisbane River atop the iconic Sky Deck, the first two of three captivating day-to-night destinations are showcasing Queensland’s inimitable outdoor lifestyle while having the added allure of experiencing Brisbane from a brand-new perspective.

Located on the Eastern side of Sky Deck and open from 7am to late daily, bustling all-day dining experience Babblers provides locals and visitors with an array of breakfast, lunch and dinner options – perfect for those in search of a more relaxed, social experience.

Affectionately named after the gregarious Babbler bird family, Babblers brings a sense of familiarity through its warmth and charm and has been designed for flowing conversation between friends and family.

With thoughtful, handcrafted dishes such as the signature house-baked flatbreads, K’gari spanner crab omelette with fermented chilli mornay, green apple and tarragon for breakfast or the heirloom tomato salad with pickled cucumber, sourdough croutons, salsa verde & basil from 11am, Babblers celebrates flavoursome local produce whilst paying homage to an array of familiar classics.

Taking centre stage on Sky Deck, open-air bar Cicada Blu boasts some of Brisbane’s best views and entertainment that’s a beat above, with a bespoke bar menu suited to pre-dinner aperitifs or post-dinner rendezvous.

Open from 3pm till late Wednesday to Thursday and noon till late Friday to Sunday, Cicada Blu is the ideal setting to transition from day to night and features exotic elixirs, botanical infusions and bar snacks. Inspired by the ever-changing cloud formations and electrifying summer storms, Cicada Blu’s enigmatic lighting installation transforms the bar as the sun sets – pulsing to the rhythm of the city.

The Star Brisbane General Manager Food & Beverage, Dustin Osuch said the Sky Deck venues offer locals and visitors the opportunity to relax and enjoy the sights from Brisbane’s newest rooftop playground.

“Sky Deck brings a new era of dining and entertainment to our city, and we are excited to welcome guests to experience these incredible rooftop venues,” said Mr Osuch.

“Our vision for Sky Deck was to create a space that locals and travellers can visit at any point of the day and be captivated, from the views to the unique food and beverage offerings.

“With Babblers and Cicada Blu now open, and our signature restaurant Aloria set to follow in October, Sky Deck is quickly becoming an unforgettable Brisbane landmark that showcases the spirit of our city.”

Open free to the public, Sky Deck’s 250-metre seemingly-suspended rooftop runway has been designed to allow visitors of The Star Brisbane to choose their own adventure.

From a breezy brunch or long relaxed lunch swapping stories with friends, to sunset soirees, intimate dinner dates or celebrations that continue late into the evening. The Star Brisbane’s signature restaurant, Aloria, will complete the Sky Deck offering in October, with the trio of venues set to become the perfect destination for all dining and entertainment needs.
