A fairly new, gay venue, beginning to make its mark on Sydney's clubbers as a location with the lot. Within the complex are a club, a bar, a wine bar, an oyster bar, a cocktail bar and a restaurant. The nightclub area houses two dance floor areas so there is plenty of room to get sweaty in! There are also Drag shows, a function area and a weekly Monday recovery party. Different levels mean different music vibes are on offer throughout the night. Popular with gay and straight, you get all sorts here.

A Sydney classic, probably something to do with its 17-year history. The service is as good as the food; efficient floor staff ferry fabulous food from kitchen to table, and the decor is clean and simple. There is also an adjoining cocktail bar. There is a certain simple comfortable quality to the food, which includes treats such as Ricotta Rosemary and Rocket Ravioli, Grilled Loin of Lamb, Rib Eye Beef, and fresh seafood, including daily Shucked Oysters.

Breakfast fave tries dinner
359 Crown Street
Surry Hills
Sydney, NSW 2010
+61 2 9360 4762
Regulars swear by the signature ricotta hotcakes and corn fritters, not to mention the creamiest scrambled eggs in Sydney. This is a great spot to people watch and eat Sydney's most celebrated breakfast. Open all day and most of the night, dinner becomes a more sophisticated affair although kinks still need working out of the evening menu. The quality and generous servings are great value; the Schnitzel and Creamy Mash has gained an infamous local reputation.

Billy The Pigs


Friendly and fun atmosphere
512 Oxford Street
Bondi Junction
Sydney, NSW 2022
+61 2 9389 5726
info@billythepigs.com.au
Where did this pub get its name? In the 1940s, owner Billy looked like a pig, ate and drank like a pig, and treated his customers like pigs. Times have changed somewhat in this bustling local, which is popular with families, backpackers and office workers. The décor is clean and warm and there is a leafy courtyard which is great on summer evenings. The bistro specialises in Malaysian cuisine as well as normal pub fare like steaks, sandwiches and schnitzels. Meals cost AUD3 to AUD9.

Great for a business lunch or a night on the town.

This venue has it all! A great position with water views that overlook the dramatic Anzac Bridge.

The menu offers ten different breeds of oysters, assorted crustaceans and the very best seafood of the day.

It is no wonder that this cool, minimalist space poised on a pier in Rose Bay's Lyne Park is one of Sydney's best, award winning restaurants.

+61 2 9362 3838
This refurbished hotel was re-launched in July 1997. The AUD2 million refit is a comfortable blend of timber, light, horizontal lines and stainless steel. Wood fired ovens and spit roasts turn out generous food for a professional, slick, inner city crowd. The floor staff are as fast as the clientele and the whole atmosphere buzzes with activity.

The Dolphin is a local landmark—a beautiful, traditional corner pub that is popular with locals, and heavily patronised by Rugby Union fans before and after games at the nearby Sydney Football Stadium. The classic pub decor (polished timber fixtures and fittings, brass tap ware) has recently been redone and refurbished, retaining all of its original charm. The hotel offers fine dining in its smart restaurant (Seafood and Wild Duck), as well as a more laid back affair in its bistro (salads and pasta).

A great, relaxed fish restaurant, perfect for the casual drop in or just a takeaway. Fishface is not your average fish 'n' chips shop; tall tables and "high chairs" are just one of the things that make it different. The crowd - mostly locals - pack the place out every night, or go and wait at the nearby pub until a table comes up. It is friendly, cheap and without pretensions.

Four in Hand


Popular venue

Paddington
Sydney, NSW 2021
+61 2 9326 2254
Ever since Cleo Magazine revealed, some years ago now, that more than a few of its Most Eligible Bachelors drank at The Hand, Friday nights have seen this popular pub become even more popular. This is where Paddo's bold-and-beautiful set hang out. The Four In Hand has got it right when it comes to picking music for its crowd. Jazz, swing, and cool (not tacky) Retro are the soundtrack to this classic club-lounge bar. The in-house restaurant features Mod Oz and fusion bar food including some great salads, and the catch of the day Beer-Battered Fish and Chips.

Conveniently located by the poolside, with breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the Opera House and the famous Sydney Harbour skyline, Ripples Cafe is good for a casual date. Helpful staff dish out interesting and tummy-filling South Pacific fare - patrons claim that the fish-n-chips are the best, this side of the ocean. An ideal meal would start off with Oysters, followed by Tempura Prawns with Rice and Salad, Hot Chips and Chocolate and Honeycomb Cheesecake. Kids can have fun with the Fairy Floss, while the BYOB option makes dining here a bit easier on the wallet. Having won the best 'BYO Restaurant Award', it promises to be good value for money, though one should watch out for tables too close for comfort and the dicey lock on the restroom door!

Sydney, NSW 2019
+61 2 9700 1196
This classic pub does not just take its name from Captain Cook's on-board botanist, its cuisine takes a leaf out of his botany book too. The décor is rustic Australian--heavy timber, a big bar area and pared-back dining room. Banksias, the restaurant within Sir Joseph Banks Hotel, is as Aussie as it gets. Not to be confused with "Mod Oz", which generally refers to a fusion of cuisines, this is a real taste of Australia--kangaroo, home-grown coffee and home-made bush bikes. Washed down with superb Aussie wines and, of course, the best in Aussie beers.

A great way to see Sydney Harbor in both style and comfort whilst enjoying lunch or dinner. The dining area is decorated in a quiet, classical style but the views of Sydney are as good as it gets. This is a popular tourist attraction. Cost: Dinner Cruise AUD129.80 includes a three course meal and cabaret show; Lunch Cruise AUD56.20 includes a buffet and live jazz music; Harborsights Cruise AUD20.50 and includes commentary, scones and tea or coffee.

Wing's Bistro & Restaurant


Good food in a fun location
Corner of Ryde Road & Swan Street
Gladesville Sporties, Gladesville

This restaurant is located in the popular Gladesville Sporties Club. After some sports and entertainment at the club you can head over to Wing's for a relaxed and fun lunch or dinner. Known for its tasty mix of Australian, Chinese and seafood meals, you will also find a nice variety of wines and cold tap beer at great prices. Try something from the bistro menu like the Grilled Barramundi Fillet or stick to popular Chinese fare like the Hot and Spicy Pork Chops. If choosing becomes difficult just opt for the lunch or dinner specials which are great value for money.
