The Opera Bar is part of the Sydney Opera House and is situated on the lower Concourse. People have described the Bar as “The Best Beer Garden in The World” because of the amazing views it offers of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and Sydney’s amazing skyline.
The Opera Bar has a great outdoor section for enjoying those sunny days, the warm weather and the amazing views. However, it also has a luxurious interior for when the weather may not be as nice or if you simply prefer to enjoy your meal indoors. You can book for lunch but the Bar is unusual in that it doesn’t take reservations for dinner.
The staff are very friendly, yet professional and provide excellent service at all times. The cuisine is a mixture of terrific Australian food designed to tantalise your tastebuds, no matter what you select. There are ample choices on the menu including desserts, sides and shared plates. There’s also a pre-theatre menu for those who want a delicious, yet quick snack before the show begins.
