Coming from Vancouver, Canada, where water front & Stanley Park offers lush greenery and waterfront views, I was eager to experience Sydney's iconic Opera Bar — and it did not disappoint. Nestled at the base of the Sydney Opera House, this open-air bar offers breathtaking panoramas of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House sails, and the sparkling waters of Sydney Harbour.
I loved how convenient the QR code ordering system was — so easy! The servers just appeared with my order, making the whole experience smooth and hassle-free. I had a Caesar cocktail, and it was absolutely amazing. The menu, curated by Chef Matt Moran, features fresh, seasonal Australian produce with a focus on seafood. I was also impressed with the incredible variety of cocktails on offer.
I visited in the fall, and even though it was busy, I can’t imagine how lively it must get during summer or festivals. With such stunning views, Opera Bar is truly a paradise for Instagram influencers. The vibe is vibrant yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot to enjoy delicious food, a refreshing drink, and take in one of the best views in Sydney.
If you’re in Sydney, Opera Bar is an essential stop — an unforgettable experience with world-class views, great food, and amazing drinks.
