FAQS

Vertigo is Australia’s first vertical dining experience, four stories above the ground overhanging Brisbane Powerhouse’s industrial façade.

Combining high adventure with dining, guests are escorted to the rooftop, where they don safety harnesses and climb out to their seats to experience sky-high city views and a 17 metre drop beneath their feet.

Adventurers are served a delicious three-course meal and drinks for dinner crafted by talented Bar Alto chefs using local ingredients.

Once the meal is complete, diners have the option to descend through Brisbane Powerhouse or end the meal with one final adrenalin burst by dropline down the building’s façade.

Qualified and experienced staff will be with you every step to ensure your safety and comfort.

The full Vertigo experience includes exclusive access to the rooftop of the iconic Brisbane Powerhouse to enjoy breathtaking views from one of the best vantage points in the city. It also includes a tailor-made three-course meal and drinks for dinner from Brisbane dining institution, Bar Alto.
