Opera Bar Reviews

Expensive like everything in Australia. To sit and still look awesome. Even the pizza was delicious.

Have been lucky enough to visit this place more than once! It is in my top 10 bars to visit in the world!

I don't find free chairs and the service was regular

Stunning views, good charcuterie and an excellent place for any tourist to visit.

Nicest spot. Appetizers are tasty and extense drinks menu. However, even though the order system through the qr code is great nowadays, missed a lit bit of customer service.

Very unpleasant experience with the front door lady. She was very rude and agressive, her name's Sweets. Not sweet at all to greet guests the way she did - like a mad dog. She shouldn't work at the reception if she can't handle one simple question. The food was nice but she ruined our whole experience.

Prices are steep but you are paying for the location.
One of the best spots to sit with a nice cocktail watching the world go by.

Always an amazing place to go. Especially when you have overseas visitors. The food is quite good and the prices are not excessive considering the location.

On my visit to Sydney I have lovely meal here. I was a little disappointed in the quality of my fish n chips as I found a bone in the fish. However, after notifying management the situation was rectified so a big thumbs up to the team.

Great place to grab a meal and a drink with amazing views of the harbour. You really do pay for the view with drink and food prices. Does not cater for smokers.

Excellent location great for groups plenty space but busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Single guys don't bother it's all groups

Great views but gets very busy in the evenings, specially Friday and Saturday. Not cheap but you are perched on the water beneath the iconic Opera house gazing at the iconic harbour bridge, so you're paying as much for the view as the drinks/food. I recommend going during the day much better without the crowds.

The pizza Peperoni was great, really delicious. The chef added a little bit of extra salt on it, which worked really great for me.

Gr8 selection of wine and obviously a gr8 view. A must for visitors to Sydney and locals also

Fashion, trendy, first-class environment, good facilities

Great atmosphere with the most spectacular view of the harbour.

Chilling right next to the best harbour in the world... Most do!

Nice location, poor range of drinks, overpriced in all respects

Tucked right underground with a clrar view of Sydney opera house.. this is a great place to catch up on some evening breeze with friends amd family. Food is average. Suggest to order drinks only.

Staffs are friendly and lovely positive vibes!! Had concern about COVID!!

Chill and relax with an aperol spiritz at the Sunday sunset

Best view, great food and drinks. Always very busy :)

Open bar, by the sea, overlook the harbor bridge, opera house in front of you, great atmosphere, beer&liqour, great accompany, what else do you ask for in life? Was here on Thursday and it was already fulled, took us some time to find seats though.

One the best spots in Sydney. Perfect on sunny day. Food is good and drinks menu also varied. Must go at least once when visiting Sydney. Hard to get table sometimes but plan ahead and enjoy.

Excellent spot for visitors or locals. Obviously excellent views and often live music that creates atmosphere.

My daughter and I enjoyed a beautiful relaxed lunch and few drinks today at the Opera Bar. Such a lovely experience, friendly capable staff and good food and drinks, not to mention the view !! Highly recommend

Overpriced and rather bland menu, but the views are stunning - quintessential Sydney.

Fantastic view- loving the Dog Patrol to scare the Seagulls! great idea and fantastic customer service.

Absolutely love this place! Cant count how many times I've been here! Delicious food and drinks may be a little pricey (not ridiculous but), but what do you expect with such an iconic view! Well worth the visit!!!

Great location with amazing views. Not good for food.

My all time favorite bar. Best views of Sydney Harbour.

Enjoyed it was great to see them have 0.0 beer they could do with some 0.0 wine as well the food and service good.

The Sunday afternoon music was good. Food was good. Bar snacks and a beer.

Fantastic views of Sydney harbour, this is a perfect bar for tourists and visitors to Sydney. Keep in mind the venue is usually quite busy and the drinks are a bit more expensive than average, so probably not suited as a regular bar for the local Sydneysider.

Great views, lovely cocktails, friendly service, love this place.

Good selection of drink and food, always beautifully presented despite being very busy, reasonable price.

Lovely place to wine and dine, great view of the Sydney Bridge and the Opera house

Nice spot, good atmosphere. Long wait for food when we were there, wasn't overly busy either.

Beautiful scenery with Opera house only meters away and the Darling Harbour bridge right on the side not too pricey, very touristy spot.

Sassy bartenders - but boy did they make good cocktails. Relatively slow to make though, so you're waiting at the bar for a while. For more complex drinks like that maybe table service would be a little better.

One of my favourite locations to sea the harbour bridge over a few cold ones! I d recommend you book in advanced and check the weather! Great place to eat too!

A very pleasant large bar. One has despite the accumulation of all tourists at any time a seat opportunity. You can enjoy the nice view to the Sydney Harbor Bridge. But only the prices were very high.

A very enriching, soul satisfying, mind blowing experience

The most beautiful view!
The bar is alongside the opera with an amazing view on the harbour bridge.
The food is great.
Perfect for a drink in summer.

Great view. Great covid safe ordering. Prices are bit higher than the average bar but you're paying for the location! Inside seating is not the greatest.

Awesome view. Stick to the Opera Bar and dig into few appetizers (calamari a great choice). Opera restaurant a few meters to the bay isn't so good food wise

Great little bar on Sydney harbour right next to the Opera house. Great views of the city and harbour bridge

Good for a drink but the food is appropriately, a complete rip off (really not that nice). Location is A bonus though, especially on a hot summers afternoon

Very crowded, gross bathrooms with long lines. My husband and I got attitude from the bouncers. We could not even get close enough to the bar to order a round for the people we were with. We had heard good things and were excited to check it out. Perhaps its a better experience when iy is less busy.

Great place to relax and enjoy the sunset. Great views of the harbour.

Quality of the food here is bad - there were bones in my fish n chips and it tasted disgusting. The location is however 10/10 and the views are amazing.

Great location right on the opear house overlooking the Sydney Harbour bridge, 5 stars just for the location and view alone, I don't know how much the drinks cost but people drive cone here for the drinks primarily

A place you can't forget. Sydney is a beautiful city. Nature is delightful.

The view is incomparable but everything else is somewhat of a compromise or not particularly special. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad but understandably expensive for what you get and the seats aren't particularly comfortable, I suspect on purpose to keep people moving. Good for a quick eat at sunset.

I used to love this place, however the crowd has deteriorated massively. Really bogan crowd and overpriced drinks. Great view but Avoid Summer.
$35 for a pint of rusty pipe piss and a premixed cocktail. BYE BYE

Snobby staff, you can read previous reviews people also are saying the same. The Opera house is an important iconic place and the waiters have such a bored, annoyed and unwelcoming attitude to customers, very disappointed.
In relation to the food we had an 'OK burger' which was barely ok (pun intended).

Great food and drinks, service wasn't 100% there but I enjoyed the experience.

Epic place for an arvo beer with one of the best backdrops. Good food and staff! Worth a visit

A Bar near the Opera house. Pleasant views of the harbour.

Great place for a catch up with friends or a quick bite with beautiful views of the Opera House or Harbour Bridge. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor sitting and good menu of wine, spirits and food to choose from. Just watch out for the seagulls when you're sitting outdoors!

A happening place on Saturday night - it wasn't even a thing last time I was in Sydney. Good vibes

Australian Icon plenty of bars and reataurants to choose

Great place for a pre-dinner or pre-show drink. $22 for a can of beer in the small can bar is outrageous

Had a really good afternoon just chilling at the bar. Wine was about $11 a glass. That, the crispy cauliflower dish, a good book and good company made for a good time. Now... Do I want wedges too??? Oh yes, and watching the rowdy raucous gulls too. Now why would anyone want to sit in the sun at the mercy of seagulls?!!!

Being a busy bar it gets difficult to find seating, good atmosphere and good service with the app powered ordering, you don't need to leave your seats to get drink.
