Location is great with a nice view of the harbour bridge. It was a busy day for the restaurant, but I would expect higher level of service for such a nice place and prices. Food arrived a little cold and not fresh anymore. The Sangria is not good, recommend not to order.
Awesome location to socialise. Views unbelievable. Bit pricey but you expect that at a venue like this
With the Sydney Opera House as its backdrop and un-imaginable views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, it is not surprising that Opera Bar has become a favourite Sydney experience, perfect for friends, lovers, Newlyweds and even for casual visitors. Showcases the seasons and shares local's favourites.
Enjoy al fresco wine and cocktails at the water s edge, or indulge in the lamb rump or fish & chips from the Opera Bar menu. Pop in during the evening and listen to live lounge music with a cool bottle of wine. Opera Bar is the venue for a lazy lunch, pre-show bite, or to wow those out of town visitors.
Totally overpriced but from a convenience perspective, priceless!
The atmosphere was great. The night view and the drinks are great for dinner.
The Opera bar is the perfect place to take visitors to Sydney...
Fantastic location, stunning. Pint and a halfnod Stella...$Aus27!!!
A place that's right next to the opera house, and right across from the Harbor Bridge, spectacular views, and great service is shown by waiters and staff. May have a few peaking seagulls lurking about especially ordering fish and chips, be wary and try not to feed them!
A place that nobody has to stop visiting and have a delicious and fresh white wine !!!!!!
One of the best located bar. Great place for vivid Sydney
Stopover during the world tour.
To visit
One of my favourite spots in Sydney. Great views, atmosphere and Music. A decent dance floor opens up late Friday and Saturday evenings with a live band busting out the Tunes! A must see if your visiting from interstate or overseas!
It was packed and very slow service. Had to do everything myself.
Pay for the view, stay for the atmosphere. It's a great place for a Sunday session, if you like crowds. The live entertainment is consistently enjoyable as background noise. The crowds on the whole are friendly with smart staff with good hearing. Drinks are expensive, but they make almost any cocktail and have an ok selection of beers.
Always feel like i have to shout at the waiters will someone could serve me ! too crowed and not many waiters
Awesome place to enjoy some open air drinks with incredible views. Drinks are expensive and it does get busy, but it's a good starting point for a night out
The open-air restaurant next to the Opera House also has an indoor area. Just go for a beer and don't give a meal recommendation. But the field of view is excellent.
Aware!
If you like to get FROZEN(!!!!) oysters and rubber tire instead of the meat - you are highly welcome here
Unreal. Simply unreal. Even for Sydney it is too bad.
You can listen to live music in a glass of draft beer while watching the night of Harbor Bridge.
Great place for drinks and snacks while watching the sunset
A buzzing atmosphere, light snack with a glass of white wine and sunshine to start the Friday evening at the Opera Bar...Cheers
Had dinner with brother and some friends before heading back to Indonesia. Good food, good place & good waitress for sure
Nice atmosphere and view, friendly staff, good prices, seagulls out of control. Beautiful setting right by opera house and water with view on bridge. Bartender helpful with recommendations. $10 for glass of Sparkling. Seagulls eyeing food, and go ravage as soon as customers leave table.
It is worth it to go. Very hygiene and accurate about covid social distancing.
we had a beer and seating outside of opera house. it was beautiful with seeing harbour bridge. it was a bit cold but, they turned heater on. so my rate for this bar is 5 out 5 :)
Great for the view, nice selection of food and drinks. Understandably it does get crazy busy in summer
This bar/beer garden offers one of the best views and ambiance. Bartenders may put you off at times during busy periods (this place is usually very crowded). But if you ignore their average service then you will be able to enjoy your drinks and views.
It is a place for everyone and every season. Be prepared to shell out extra dimes out of your pocket as it is a bit expensive for obvious reasons.
Awesome atmosphere, very lively, best views in Sydney of Harbour Bridge and opera house
An iconic spot to chill and enjoy the view of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and all the actions around. Staff were friendly.
Great food and music with an awesome view of the harbour. Drinks and food are on the pricey end.
I absolutely love it here. I've celebrated special moments here and brought tourists here! Love opera bar so much
Reserved a table several weeks in advance, it was then rudely taken. Asked staff if we they could move, they then said that it was rude to ask people to leave. I RESERVED THE TABLE! Btw, overpriced and overrated. You're paying for the view.
Opera bar is all about location. You have a awesome view of the bridge. You can be one of million people who take multiple selfies. Also at the base of the Opera House. Drinks are good but expensive. Also dress up, very Sydney Chic.
Excellent view and vibe. Always enjoy this place when I m on a day out or night out :)
Very unique place in the city! You don t get a view like that anywhere else!
The cocktails are amazing and the bar is big enough to come with as many friends as you wish! They only thing is that it gets pretty busy during the weekend but it makes sense given it s location.
The food is not bad but I ve never had too much food beside sides with my drink
Best view on the harbour bridge and the opera house. Amazing burgers and beer
Awesome place to hang out
Cheers
Great location on the harbour under the opera house. You do pay a lot for the experience though. Nice for an afternoon drink.
Amazing ambience (weather dependent), great vibe and the beautiful Opera house and Harbour bridge view. What more can one ask for :)
For starters, the location is awesome. Next to the water, Opera House on one side and the Harbour bridge on the other.
The bar itself is nice and the staff is friendly. I've been here a couple of times and waiting time to order is limited to a minimum.
House sparkling bottle is good price/value, so go for it if you feel fancy or have to celebrate something.
Tried the Quesadilla here and I liked it.
Try the Ruby Tuesday Beer on tap and enjoy the sun!
Nice cool place to unwind have a few beers by the beach
It is my favourite place! Absolutely stunning views! Good service. Try the wedges ;)
Always crowded and afternoon sun hits you in the face but that's all ok because of the drinks and tasty food snacks. Expensive
A bit on the touristy and expensive side, but great food, beer and views. Loved it
Came for a few drinks with friends. Everything was ok, except my friend went to buy a round of drinks for us. The Blonde lady behind the bar kept serving other people. My friend was patient, and kept waiting.She served 4 other people who walked up to the bar after him. IT wasn't until the 5th person he complained. We haven't had drinks, we just came up after work. He was Asian and the other customers she served were white. Now I'm not saying anything, but you gotta ask whats going on. Never again.
I always make a point of visiting when in Sydney. It s the vibe in the summer that makes it special. Looking forward to getting back again later in the year.
Don t miss out on the Opera Bar experience. One of the best places to hang out for a drink. Fantastic view of the Opera House and the Harbour bridge from the bar!
Really well organised social distancing handled really well had a great relaxed time it was nearly like the time before Covid
Only without being is WONDERFUL, I just saw it and I'm sitting in MALLORCA
One of Sydney's great spots for drinks and views with a good menu
Awesome spot to chill as the sun goes down behind the bridge...the drinks are as you would expect a little steep, but the views, people watching and live music make it worth it. The service is usually pretty quick too, you order at the bar either inside or outside and they'll bring your drinks to you if it's something other than a beer, etc. Not a lot more to say about this place, you really come here for the location and the views, everything else is just window dressing...
Decent food with a great view of the Opera house and harbor.
Awesome place to relax on a fine day. Perfect position to see alot of the popular Sydney sights all at once
Great drinks, delicious food, awesome service. I work there, perfect environment.
Fine bar in a beautiful setting. Especially nice after sunset and at evening when live music is on. Wide selection of bottled beers, cocktails, and soft drinks. Prices are high, but the place worth it.
Drinks with one of Sydney's drop dead gorgeous views
Cool place to kickback with a drink and enjoy the view. No need to order mains, the appetizers are good enough to share with between friends and good value.
Love this place. Perfect for drinks. Any day of the week.
If you wanted to sip on a drink (because they are a bit expensive, so sip and make it last a bit longer) and watch the sun set after work, where also in the back ground is the Harbour Bridge then visit the Opera Bar. It is popular with the locals and tourists alike.
Decent food. Fun location. Amazingly aggressive seagulls turn your back and your food is gone.
World class location. Expensive drinks. Feral children running around
