What people say
Great bar to have a pre show drink and snack. Views are obviously great, food is good - bit pricey for the portions(location dictates prices). Cocktails are clever and a bit different..when we went there they had a horoscope theme so we went with ours. It is quite loud so probablt not suitable for a first date and we had some difficulties catching up. Overall nice bar if you don't want to brace the Opera Bar crowds.
Popped in to meet friends before going to the Opera House. Nice view across Circular Quay from an elevated aspect. Everything was great apart from when the music was turned up as well as the air conditioning! I’m sure it was a one off situation.
We had the oysters, king fish ceviche and tuna dish - all were 5/5, very tasty, well balanced and generous servings. Cocktails were sublime. The service, ambience, food and drinks can’t be faulted; highly recommended for anyone looking for a place where the vibes and quality are high.
As a solo traveller, it is often awkward to ask for a table for 1, but here I felt nothing but welcomed. The happy hour drinks were delicious and the staff are so friendly. In Circular Quay it can feel like most places are a tourist trap but this was far from that. In particular, the Dulce De Leche Espresso Martini and the Foccacia were delicious!!! The atmosphere is not suffocating but chill, and you could still enjoy a conversation whilst enjoying the view
Incredible spot overlooking the harbour and bridge. Perfect place for us to grab some delicious bites and a drink. Service was wonderful. Extra thanks to Justus for making this so special for us!
