Cockle Bay Wharf

Cockle Bay Wharf in Darling Harbour is home to some of Sydney’s best restaurants and bars. The stunning harbour views don’t hurt either.

If you’re looking for harbour views, good times and great food, you’re in the right place.

Cockle Bay Wharf is at the buzzing centre of the iconic Darling Harbour, boasting some of Sydney’s best bars, restaurants and entertainment (not to mention stunning harbour views). This is the perfect spot to sip a cocktail while the sun sets, catch some live music, or dance all night.

When it comes to choosing a place to eat, you’ll have your work cut out for you at Cockle Bay Wharf. Early in the day, you could head to Nick's Cafe and Bar for barista made coffee, cakes, pastries and brunch. Later on, sip Italian wine and eat Meditaranean cuisine in a seaside alfresco lounge at Adria, or tuck into a hearty coal-fired meat feast at Hunter and Barrel.

When the sun is setting, head to one of many waterfront bars serving cocktails and good times. The terrace at Cafe Del Mar is a great spot to end up with an Aperol Spritz in hand with Darling Harbour as a backdrop. If you want to make a night of it, your next stop should be Home the Venue, Sydney’s largest nightclub, which hosts some of the city’s best DJs (and biggest nights).
