What makes Lookout special
From Lookout’s balcony you look straight onto Market Street, and during the Pride Parade it is one of the most sought-after spots. On Saturdays there is drag brunch, and DJs play in the evenings and at weekends. It is more relaxed during the week. The balcony fills up quickly at weekends.
A good fit if you …
- want to people-watch
- like drag brunch
- want to start the evening with a DJ
Not ideal if you …
- are looking for a quiet corner
