Water Front Dining in Double Bay

Bistro & Lounge

Our bistro and lounge offer a relaxed, welcoming space to unwind with family and friends. Settle in, enjoy the waterfront views, and watch the day slip into night in one of Sydney’s most picturesque locations.

The bistro menu features crowd favourites for every appetite — share plates, fresh seafood, hearty burgers, and our iconic schnitzel. At the bar, you’ll find an extensive wine list, local and international beers, and a great range of classic and contemporary cocktails. It’s also the perfect place to continue your evening after dining in the restaurant.

The Deck

The club opens at 11:30am and deck seating is on a first-come, first-served basis — we’re unable to take table reservations on the deck. The bistro menu is available on the deck from 12pm–8:30pm (last orders at 8:15pm). Please note the à la carte restaurant menu is not available on the deck or in the lounge.

Regretfully, we’re unable to accommodate pets on the deck as access is via the club building. Licensed service animals are always welcome.

For functions, we can reserve up to a quarter of the deck exclusively for your group (weather permitting). Visit our Functions page to find out more.

Restaurant:
