Opera Bar Reviews

Really awesome place with creative cocktails, sashimi, cheese plates and much more

Exceptional!!!! Service is always 100% the location speaks for itself. The food never disappoints and staff including management and security are top notch! I will certainly keep coming back.

Incredible location, arguably better than the Opera House itself

Fantastic views, great food and flavourful cocktails. Great atmosphere with an easy to use QR code menu system.

With the back drop of the opera house and harbour bridge you can never go past this little bar!!! Even if you don't feel peckish the drinks will definitely make you more relaxed as the stunning views mixed with the smell of open water and lounge chairs will definitely make you forget your worries!!!

Beautiful views of the harbour bridge. During winter it's a wind tunnel so try and get a seat inside . Food and beverage prices are relative to area$$$. Clean, close to Opera house parking.

Good price, good food & cocktail! Nice spot! Try to come at night time :)

Great place for after work beers. Bit expensive but the view is worth it. Remember to get there early as they dont reserve tables.

The Vibe seemed great, staff seemed really friendly, despite us not stopping in. Will give em a try next time we are there.

You cant argue with that view! Be warned, drinks are prohibitively expensive (it's the most profitable bar/sqare metre in the world, so this makes sense).

Great place to hand out with your friends and family and enjoy the view with some wine or cocktails Good nibbles too !

Not the cheapest meal and drinks I've had before, but you pay for the view and the atmosphere which is definitely a 10/10!

This is the place to go if you only have 3 hours in Sydney! Jaw dropping panoramic views of the harbour and opera house with passenger ships and ferries going past. Outdoor seating available with a good selection of drinks, snacks and they often have live music playing as well. Can get busy when the weather is nice.

The best view in town. Amazing place to have a drink at sunset on a nice day.

Great ambience,one of the huge bar I've ever been even tho it was super busy but FOH crew still friendly smile and provide great service ..well done guys cheer up!!

This a great spot for that sneaky afternoon beer on a hot summers day. It can get quite busy at the weekends with plenty if tourist looking for that perfect shot of the Harbour Bridge or Opera House. Always good live music here and the food is not bad either. Plenty of turnover of people so you wont have to wait too long to get a seat. Take a high seat and watch the ferries pass by while enjoying your favourite drink. Get on down here and enjoy.

Place for drinks and nice awesome view, great for tourists and friends gathering. Great place for drinks and lunch or dinner before or after the opera show. You can't find any other bars better than this one, because this is the most great place to view over the Sydney harbour and Opera House.

Good view but drink prices were ridiculous, $16 for a bourbon and coke!

A beautiful place to spend a nice sunny day in sydney!

Great place for tourist's or a drink before going to a concert at the Opera house, but apart from that I don't really recommend

Nice atmosphere but the service is slow. The draft beer glasses are a bit small for the price. Food was mediocre.

This is a really nice place to eat and drink any time of the day. The atmosphere is amazing at night time and during the day its a nice and peaceful setting looking to the harbour bridge.
The food and drink can be quite expensive but is reasonable

Opera bar is an easy option for food and drinks, with a great view of the bridge and plenty of seats. I think most people imagine this to be quite a fancy or upmarket bar until they go there due to the location, but it's very down to earth. I love Sundays there, as they normally have live entertainment which gives the place a really nice vibe. Not just a bar for the hotter months as a lot of the outdoor seating area has umbrellas with built in heaters. The cocktails here are amazing and they have a great system of a dedicated cocktail making area so they never hold up the bar service, and to be honest they normally have loads of staff on. Food is great top, I had an amazing steak, cooked perfectly.

Prompt service, well presented and cooked main course. Great wine selection, beer selection a bit geared towards the bland tourist market.

Although the view and setting is great, as well as the drinks menu, i would suggest expanding the food menu. Came here to eat and immediately left when we saw the menu. Definitely was not satisfied with the menu at all

Really well priced food and drinks, with friendly approachable staff and the worlds best view! I was expecting much higher prices here for such a stunning location.

The security staff treated us awfully. They went out of their way to be insulting and condescending. Very disappointing, and not worth going to for that reason alone.

A MUST DO if you are in Sydney! Can be really busy at the weekend so it may take a few minutes to find a seat but the view is worth it! Cocktails are great, food is also pretty good. You can also get some snacks if you don't want a full meal!

Great view of the Sydney bridge, very good vibe as well

Worth checking out

Nice view, quick service even though it was busy. Food was alright, a bit pricey

Great service, great food and just a great place for a drink.

Lovely piece of barramundi and glass of rose. Unbeatable location for enjoying views of Sydney harbour.

You're basically paying for the view (which is excellent). The beer choices are mediocre and overpriced but that is mostly par for course in Sydney.

Customer service was very good and food was fabulous.

Great for post-work drinks, especially on a Friday night. It's always packed though, so definitely not a place for first dates unless you don't mind spending 10 minutes trying to find a spot and then having to give up and standing around awkwardly instead.

Other than that, great view, great weather (well, that depends). I've always loved an outdoor bar, and the Opera Bar is one of Sydney's best.

Below average fish and chips, but a lively place to have a drink with some music

Great view. Drinks on the expensive side, but that's to be expected.

One of my most favourite places is the world. And ... check out Seagull Patrol doggy such a good pup

Always a great place for a drink, its busy so finding a seat can be hard especially for big groups

The view is fantastic. The drinks are average but there is no dress code which is a big plus.

Overpriced pub food with poor service. Bogan crowd, stressed staff, average music.

Of course a bit more expensive but a very nice place to have a drink and enjoy the fantastic view on the opera and the harbor bridge.

Views are breathtaking. Services fast and friendly and professional. Food yumminess ever and lots of varieties. Cocktails perfect. Can't go wrong.

Excellent tapas. Accompanied by an aperitif. Holiday atmosphere

The GOODS:
This is such a great way to relax, get a beer and a bite with the harbour bridge as you're backdrop, live music and great vibes

Food was great. Had a side of green beans and wedges + a margherita pizza as a main to share. Was full.

Wine and cocktail great.

Pizza was woodfired and could taste the deadlines of the cheese by comparison to my previous review on another venue where the same was sub par.

Ambience: Fantastic. Live music, muddying machine for the heat, good vibes and laughter

The BADS:

1. Extremely noisy and absolutely nothing can be done about that coming from the crowd.

2. There was a young family with a small baby there that was screaming it's lungs out. Please don't be a moron and bring kids to something like this. Baby not happy. Other Patrons not happy! Just disrespectful.

Can't beat the view and live music on a Friday night.

Spectacular views, reasonably priced drinks, great bar food

A wonderful place to visit during the week.
Very peaceful and it s easy to order food and drinks using their app.
Excellent COVID practices in place.

Lovely view of the harbour bridge while enjoying a beer! Best at night

An alternative to clubs, this outdoor venue has an amazing place to meet people and grab a bite to eat. It can get very busy, but there are no bouncers to throw you out, or music that will make you deaf. The rest of the harbor is very easily accessible, and it has amazing views.
