About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Lively
Great for scenic views

90 Terrigal Esplanade is home to The Joker and Thief, a restaurant-bar designed by
Fabric Architecture with interiors and styling by Stewart & Highfield.

While the name is a homage to Bob Dylan, our interior is Mad Men meets INXS – Mid Century Modern with a nod to Art Deco and a luxe Rock n Roll edge. Dusty pink walls with timber panelling contrast deep hues, velvet upholstery, brass details and marble tabletops. The Joker and Thief is pure escapism. Once you reach the top of the staircase, you will enter a world of unpretentious decadence.

Located on a prominent beachside strip, Balmy ocean breezes come through the windows as cocktails flow. Our venue transforms from a bright and airy lunch spot to a moody, plush night-time restaurant bar.

Staff were great, nice spot overlooking the water, but took a while for food to arrive and was very mediocre.

Nice atmosphere and menu. The entrance has a lot of stairs which my 80 year old mother struggled up, only to find there was a lift she could have used. Neither staff member at the door, where we checked in, let us know. Anyway, besides that, the evening was great.
