Sydney’s sweltering heat has arrived early, and new harbourside venue PIER BAR has launched just in time to celebrate. PIER BAR’s slick new Australiana fit out and harbourside location make an idyllic backdrop for summer spritzes and after-work snacks. Plus, you’re just steps away from the rocks, nestled under the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The luxe new venue even has its own private pontoon, so you and the crew can rock up via water taxi or private boat charter. Because, we all need another excuse to be more bougie.
If you’re keeping an eye on your cash during the cozzie livs crisis, don’t fret. Between 5-6pm Monday to Friday, you can take in the unbeatable sunset views with a side of $12 specialty cocktails and $2 oysters for Sunset Hour.
Find a spot along Walsh Bay's heritage pier and take in the picture-perfect view of the sunset, or bring on the weekend with Friday and Saturday DJ sets.
Can’t cope with leaving your four-legged friend at home? You can bring them along, too—PIER BAR even has menu items designed especially for dogs.
After finding a seat by the water, sip on inventive cocktails inspired by the pier’s history. Order a round of fresh and fruity ‘Kiwi to Sydney cocktails’ packed with house-made kiwi-infused gin, elderflower, lime and apple, or try PIER BAR’s adventurous new avo mezcal margarita made using avo-washed mezcal and avo syrup.On the food front, tuck into tiny tuna ceviche tacos and oysters with bloody mary or margarita granita, or add a plate of flatbreads with chimichurri and goat’s cheese for bites between sips and spritzes.
Like the decor, the beer and wine list celebrates all things local and has been curated around the rich history of the pier—which was once a hub for Sydney trade and produce. For a post-work wine we recommend the Tar & Roses Pinot Grigio from Goulburn Valley and a Messina Moonlight Run GSM from Barossa.
Got a birthday around the corner? Round up your crew, make a booking, and score a complimentary punchbowl cocktail for the table—a refreshing treat to bring in your next lap around the sun.
PIER BAR is Sydney’s newest harbourside spot for mid-week specials and laid-back summer nights.
