Make the most of the glorious balmy weather at Sydney’s newest waterfront bar, Pier Bar, which opened with a splash in September. Located smack-bang on the water along the historic Pier One in Walsh Bay, Pier Bar offers gorgeous views of Sydney Harbour plus a prime spot to watch the flaming orange sunset with a cocktail in hand.
Drawing inspiration from the rich marine history of Pier One – which was built in 1912 as a seafood and entertainment heaven – Pier Bar serves fruity cocktails and seafood as fresh as if it were just plucked from the sea.
Not to be missed is the Avocado Mezcal Margarita – a fun take on the OG, made with avocado washed mezcal, avocado syrup, agave, lime and orange blossom. We also like the sounds of Kiwi to Sydney, made with kiwi-infused Ester gin, kiwi cordial, elderflowers, lime and apple.
Pair your cocktails with snacks featuring native ingredients like calamari with nativeberry and saltbush; tuna and coriander tacos; and lemon myrtle-dusted school prawns.
Come on down from 5 to 6pm weekdays to snap up the golden happy hour with $12 cocktails and $2 oysters, plus DJs will be hitting the decks on Fridays and Saturdays.
Walk-ins are welcome. Feeling bougie? You can also get to the bar by boat via a private pontoon. Now, that’s the kind of energy we’d like the channel into summer.
