    This is a wonderful venue with exceptional views over the backside of the harbour bridge. The food is excellent, casual dining choosing from shared plates to beautifully cooked mains. Very reasonably priced, great value. I would recommend this restaurant.

    It was more of a walk from Roslyn Packer than we realised, but the wait and exercise were absolutely worth it. Perfect pre-show dining experience.

    Every food choice we make when we go the the Bar at the End of the Theatre is scrumptious. The two of us always do two share plates with a lovely bottle of vino or sparking to wash it down. We allow an hour minimum to enjoy the experience before we head off to our play. It is our 'me' day together and are never disappointed.

    Hi Karen Thank you so much for such a lovely review. We're glad to be part of your pre-theatre routine and can be that special 'me' day that we all need from time to time. We hope you'll continue to treat yourself with us for many more plays to come.

    I’d love to come back to The Theatre Bar at the End of the Wharf , it’s hands-down one of my favourite spots! The meals are not only delicious but also super affordable, which is a rare combo these days. And honestly, that view? You could never get tired of it, it’s absolutely stunning, no matter the time of day. The staff are always so friendly and helpful, which just adds to the experience. It’s become our go-to spot whenever we want a great meal with a side of harbour magic. Can’t wait for our next visit! Nicky

    Disappointing. Fish overcooked, chips seen better days, salad over-oiled, steak over-sauced, staff disinterested, uniforms not clean, view obscured by a shade that was ‘too much effort’ to roll up and down. Anders Ousback glory days long gone. Sad. Won’t go again.

    Great location looking into the harbour and the bridge However late afternoon sun coming into the middle of the restaurant made it very uncomfortable for those on the side of the table facing the sun
    The Theatre Bar at the End of the WharfResponded on March 24, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the location and views. Apologies for the discomfort caused by the sun – we are awaiting repairs to our blinds, hopefully this will be completed soon as we know it can be uncomfortable at times.

    Always a great vibe before a play. The fabulous ambience, end of pier looking across to McMahons Point and down the harbour with the setting sun. It doesn't get any better in such a historic building. A great place at anytime. Ordering and service prompt and very easy. Good uncomplicated wine selection and simple food. Arancini and olives for starters, followed by the duck for main. Duck accompanying salad very fragrant and tasty.

    Thank you for your wonderful review Will! It’s great to hear you had a lovely experience with the food and service and of course the view. We look forward to welcoming you back soon
