A food & drink guide to Barangaroo

Barangaroo is buzzing with places to eat and drink, from cute cafes and elegant wine bars to sprawling restaurants and cosier venues. You'll find most of them along Wulugul Walk – this charming waterfront promenade spans 170 metres and is named after the local Aboriginal word for kingfish. There's also the added attraction of being by the water and a stone's throw from the heart of Sydney.

Bars

The beautifully designed tri-level Barangaroo House, a charcoal, timber-clad curved building, offers three options for drinks. House Bar is the relaxed, ground-level bar that spills out onto a beer garden; Rekodo is a nod to Japanese listening rooms, hosting DJs playing all-vinyl sets; while Smoke is the rooftop bar with fantastic views.

Untied is Barangaroo's other rooftop bar. With a more casual vibe than Smoke, it dishes up fresh cocktails alongside modern Australian fare. At Crown Sydney, Teahouse is a bold and playful take on a traditional Chinese teahouse, serving cocktails and a selection of Asian-accented nibbles.
