Our Take
Sydney's Opera House Harbourside Bar
Opera Bar sits at the foot of the Sydney Opera House and delivers the most postcard-perfect harbour view in the city — Sydney Harbour Bridge framed directly. The waterfront terrace is the most reliably-packed sunset destination in Sydney.
The cocktail program is broad and well-built. The kitchen serves Australian seafood plates, sourdough, charcuterie. Live music three nights a week. Walk-in friendly weekday afternoons, reservations essential for sunset on weekends.
Pair with Maybe Sammy after for more precise cocktails.
What to Order
Opera Spritz
Aperol, prosecco, blood orange. The harbourside summer default.
Margaret River Rosé
Australian rosé by the glass. The Opera Bar afternoon staple.
Sydney Rock Oyster Plate
Six fresh Sydney rock oysters with mignonette. The Opera Bar lunch ritual.
Champagne by the Glass
For the harbour-bridge sunset.
