The Scene: Once the sun’s gone down behind this sultry outdoor stop, sexy Sydney serves up incredible views of the twinkling Harbour Bridge. International visitors and sophisticated locals share Sydney rock oysters, while the sound of live jazz-funk mingles with the buzz of departing ferries. Sun-Thu 11:30am-midnight, Fri-Sat 11:30am-1:00am.
The Clincher: Right next door is the Sydney Opera House, Australia’s most iconic building. Why not book some tickets for a show and start off with something from the pre-theatre menu?

The Scene: The highest bar in Sydney offers panoramic views across the city, 20 house cocktails, shaken and stirred by the city’s best bartenders, and among the best range of martinis in the southern hemisphere. Suited-up locals and thrill-seeking visitors prop up the curving gold-lit bar. Mon-Fri noon-2:15pm and 6pm-8:45pm, Sat-Sun 5:30pm-8:45pm.
The Clincher: After a little martini lubrication there’s always the option of retiring to a table by the window and letting the rotating floor take you on a slow, French-inspired culinary journey around the rooftops of Sydney.
Icebergs Dining Room and Bar

The Scene: Imagine a long curve of gorgeous beach packed with beautiful people browning in the sun. Add deep a green ocean, surfers riding on the waves, and views as far as you can see from a spectacular cliff-top vantage point. Now what if that stretch of sand is Bondi, one of the most famous beaches in the world, and you are unwinding in an elegant bar with a glass of chilled chardonnay in hand? Tempting isn’t it? Tue-Sat noon-midnight, Sun noon-10pm.
The Clincher: The views from the bar can leave you punch drunk, but it’s only a short stagger to the relaxed, seafood-heavy restaurant, where the fish is as fresh as the salty breeze.
