Opera Bar Reviews

Fun place on one of the best harbors beneath the Sydney Opera House

Busy place.very good cocktails. Lovely lively place at night.

Awesome spot to stop at either after work or before you go out.

Stunning! Want of these in Belfast. Need some adjustments to our scenery views though! Very busy but staff always attentive and efficient. Good soundtracks too! Can't wait to get back!

One would expect spectacular food and drink quality at such a landmark. I would say the view IS spectacular with the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, the huge cruise ships and the rest of Circular Quay. The cocktails, on the other hand, are ok: they taste good but definitely not worth the touristy price being charged. Besides, the place always gets way too crowded at weekends, during holidays and when there are major sports events anyway. I would bring my friends from overseas here for a drink and a couple of pictures, but that's about it.

Obviously the view is spectacular. The food and service is good. The price is acceptable when you think about the location you're in.

My favourite bar in Sydney. It has amazing views and every time we have overseas visitors over we go there the first night and it has always been a hit. They have great nice music and a great crowd. Test it out, you won't regret it.

Cannot fault this place. Great range of drinks, excellent location and decent wait times for service.

You can order and pay using your phone straight from the table! Brilliant!

The menu does not vary, but it is very tasty. The live music is a little loud, but the atmosphere is good and the view including the Opera House Harbor Bridge is nice.

One of the greatest locations in Sydney and backed by good food. Really good place to spend some time during Vivid Sydney.

Amazing views and classy vibe. Gets packed in the evening after work though. Grab a drink at dawn and enjoy the sunset on a clear (or partly cloudy) day... you will not be disappointed. Prices are obviously a bit higher than elsewhere, but it s well worth it.

Sad little plate of food slapped together and served by indifferent staff. Watched my $22 cocktail being made with incorrect ingredients and my order of calamari was served with a toothpick. When I asked for cutlery I was told the meal 'came with a toothpick to eat it with'. Stunning view does not make up for the lack of care.

Great place to stop by, relax and take in harbour views. Food and drink were pretty good and price pretty reasonable for the unbeatable location.

Nice environment and music, just too crowded and hard to find a spot!

Best View of Sydney harbour and Sydney opera house - holding a beer.

Ordering system is pretty nice. You scan the code on table and order from the app and pay online. Your order would be served.
Food and some cocktails are really nice.
It has great view specially during sunset. It's mystical. Watch sun set behind harbour bridge in the blue waters.

Great location. Very poor selection of Australian beers on tap. Not much shade in the outdoor area.

The service is quick. The menu has a good range. Also has a small children menu. The prices reflect the location.

Awesome location, great drinks, fab band but so so food. Awesome atmosphere. Always a winner.

Obviously stunning views and prices still somewhat OK. Come early to get a seat on Fridays

Always a great place to drink and eat. Was at a client function food and drink never stopped. Sun shining. One shining light in a very dull city.

Very Nice Place and Surroundings,Nice Treatment,Affordable.

Nice place for a drink or two after a long day with a magnificent view, pretty crowed most of the time, worth it

The location is amazing..nice drinks and the selection is also good, food bit overpriced

Gets crazy busy and is expensive compaired to other bars in the city, but you have to factor in the location!

The food and beer (especially !!) were expensive but I thought it was the price. This is a night view restaurant
The pizza had a normal taste, but it got harder as it cooled down. (Of course, it was a little harder when I came out.)

If you feel Australian atmosphere at the Saturday Bar, we recommend you visit and enjoy the atmosphere. The night view you see here is really cool.

One of he best views in Sydney with a great atmosphere and great food and beverage choices. Can be on the pricey side though but you do get good food and drink and a great view.

Whenever a friend from out of sydney asks for places to visit I always recommend opera bar. The view of the harbour bridge is spectacular day and night. It does get busy at times but has plenty of space to accomodate for groups. You will pay a bit extra because of the location but always worth spending and hour or two there on a nice day.

The views of the opera house amd the sydney harbour bridge on a warm sunny day make this place great for cocktails. Cocktails are nice too. Only problem is it can be very busy so waiting to order and getting a seat can a bit long +- 15 minutes

The location. As they say location, location, location. You cannot best the atmosphere of Sydney Opera house and harbour views and the food is great. It can get noisy in the outdoor areas so aim for the inside tables.

The swooping seagulls are a menace if you are eating, but the view doesn't get any better than Opera Bar on a sunny afternoon. Getting a table can be tricky. The food is decent but the chacaturie plate is a bit lacklustre - it comes with a few slices of meat and some bread but not enough to justify the price tag.

Good food and great value, especially when you consider where you are.

I don't think there's a bar in the world that can rival this one - and not only for the incredible view. The drinks are well prepared, and surprisingly reasonably priced. Fell in love with Sydney right here.

Needs better shelter but even with what is there even that doesn't come close to dropping it even a slight bit of a star!!

Great views and weather was also just right the day I went during Vivid.. the food was good too.. with nothing much to complain about as well..

Great view , sort of cheap drinks, but the birds are annoying

Great location obviously, but food very poor for the cost. Pizza and F&C seemed as if from supermarket frozen section, but way over priced.
The girl who served the food was lovely and polite. The young man who was clearing glasses, rather than ask if we were finished, reached over us to check, and we had not finished.
Could do way better with food Opera Bar.

Very crowded and expensive, but that view is unbeatable, I envy the staff and regulars who get to look at that every day. Top spot to bring foreign visitors.

Great out drinks and food with best view of the Harbour Bridge in Sydney. Food and drink on the pricey side with $22 cocktails and $26 for medium size pizzas.

On an incredibly hot day, we sat under the shade of a misting umbrella, enjoying a beer and apple cider with a great view.

A bar with one of the best views in the world. The drinks aren't cheap as you pay for the view but, it's worth it! The perfect spot to take in a Sydney Harbour sunset.

Enough access for blind disabled friends and wheelchair users and it's quite exciting if we visit this place

Non alcoholic beverages cocktails & don't miss the view

I love taking visiting friends, family, and clients to the Opera Bar.

The location and views are amazing, especially during the Vivid festival where you can see the lights on the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and many other buildings in the city.

Best location in Sydney for a bar. A must for travellers and make sure you locals take your out of town guests here. Warner months are best but heaters are good if you can get near one. Good food available.

Best place to be to enjoy summer and city views. Nice and clean place. Live music. Great customer service.

Unbeatable setting and magical harbour and Opera House views. Great spot to wile away a few hours over cocktails and delicious bar snacks. Pure class.

The only good thing about the place is the view. The bar staff are obnoxious and rude. They were very slow to take an order when there was a minimal line.

Managers rude as luckily went next door to operate kitchen much more friendly

It was just OK. Food order was mixed up and waited 45mins for one meal from our party. Food was just OK. Expected better from this venue. Must say I was slightly disappointed

Always a pleasure sitting here and gazing at the views

Not only popular with tourists but also with locals.
Once you have a seat, food and drinks are also served on the square. Good quality and at the right price with this fantastic view of the landmarks of the city.
Highly recommended, I will definitely be back.

Great night out. Lovely food and well spaced tables for social distancing. We all had to sign in and to order food or drinks you used an app. Everything came out quickly.

Great restaurant to sit and eat at under the opera house & with views of the harbour bridge. Lovely food that comes out quick. Definitely worth stopping in whilst at the opera house.

Absolutely amazing location and full of life. Great for an afternoon beer

Great place for a beer or champagne on sunset. Awesome City light views

Service is friendly and efficient, and food is always good quality. A bit pricey but you're posting for a great view too.

One of my favourite outdoor watering holes. Good food and well priced for Sydney.
