    This is very convenient when attending the theatre The lunch menu is not very interesting Not expensive We were 4 diners we all went to the bar and ordered at the same time , so that our food would all arrive at once . There was a panini , arrived first it was burned and had to be sent back, then come about 5 minutes later one of the fish and chips . Another 5 minutes and the second fish and chips arrives with very burned chips . The panini was then returned . So we now had 3 of the 4 meals it took another 10 minutes for pasta to arrive , it was not hot and pretty tasteless Very disappointing

    We eat regular at the Theatre Bar and find it easy with good food. Service levels good and meals delivered in a timely manner which is important given its pre theatre dining for us.

    It's a long walk but the views are spectacular! Book before you go, check whether there are any theatre performances on at the time of your booking. It's very self-service, there are menus on the tables, you book and pay at the bar and they deliver to your table. There's a water station for refills. Overall, the food is good but you really go for the location.

    Large group, for drinks on a Friday afternoon. Not a lot of ambience, asked for some music on in the background and told can’t due to other group in the event room. We sat in silence, it was awkward. The place was empty accept for us and some people in the seperate event room. Advised not long after we arrived that we needed to vacate in a couple of hours due to other diners coming in. (We also booked). They cater to theatre patrons, otherwise no need to go there to be honest.

    An absolute gem. Amazing harbour views, good food and drinks at affordable prices (especially given the location) and always friendly, happy and helpful staff! I can't recommend it highly enough.

    Venue uniquely placed to allow the enjoyment of Sydney's weather and harbour. We enjoyed the Friday special - schnitty @$14.00!
