The Balcony at Tea Gardens
The Balcony at Tea Gardens is a pub in Bondi. We don't yet have enough signals to confirm whether dogs are allowed. It's best to check with the venue before visiting with your dog. Just 200m away, Eora Park is a great nearby park for a walk with your dog.

What people say
Had a few drinks which were reasonably priced, and a good cocktail. The balcony was full, with many people smoking. Sat inside in an area which had small parts open to the outdoors (no view). Again lots smoking in this area which wasn't to my taste.
Quite nice spot on the balcony to enjoy a sunny day, unfortunately drinks weren't great and their juices frankly bad. If you go there for drinks be sure to bring some cash as there is a $20 minimum on card. I'm not gonna hold the place accountable for the very loud and annoying crowd of drunk customers though it certainly didn't help this review.
Food was ok but the profiteroles with coffee custard was bad! Cold and tasted horrible!
Unexpectedly good fish and chips, and the service from the bar guy was friendly, helpful and efficient. I’d go again when there’s a better atmosphere though, because it just smelt like stale cigarettes and mostly mature people were dining in their Sunday best today.
The worst rump steak ever had there. I ordered a medium-rare and then got an over cooked one, then ordered another one but got a very inconsistent piece with dominant smell of fish. The staff din't say sorry a single time but asked me to cook it instead. Toxic service.
