A family owned boutique bar located in Wentworth Point as part of the Marina Square complex. A large list of great tasting signature and classic cocktails. The Dancing Bear is also managed by Kristine Tarabine who is a part of the Top 100 Australian bartenders competing in Diageo's world class competition.

Just a few popular cocktails include the "Smoked Old Fashioned", "Curious George", "Year of the Goji" and our best seller the "Yuzu Sour". All with their own quirks and experience.

Mini kafta skewers, dips, mouth watering cheese and cold meat boards the best Bar nuts in Sydney.

As we are so close to Olympic park there is many easy access options. Bus routes, train lines and the ferry at our doorstep.

We focus on great customer service and don't take ourselves to seriously. Every Saturday you can find live music going. The vibe is chill and welcoming to anyone who needs a bevvy. Couples, friends, family, visitors and locals - its a joy to have anyone come into our bar.

    Love this little bar! We always come here whenever we are in the area for an event. The drinks are amazing and the owner always remembers us though we only come 1-2 times a year.
