Why Choose 18 Footers Bar, Restaurant & Cafe
From scenic harbour deck dining and ferry-wharf convenience to memorable celebrations and custom-roasted coffee.
Expansive Harbourside Deck Dining
The venue features an expansive outdoor deck right on the water overlooking Sydney Harbour, providing a breezy setting for fresh meals and cocktails.
Lovely restaurant on the water with terrific outlook over Sydney harbour. There is both outside and inside seating.
Revital Youthspan Tranquil Sunset Outlook Over the Water
Sitting outdoors to take in the water and watch the sunset delivers a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere away from the city bustle.
Sitting outdoors to soak up sunshine and watch the sunset is absolutely delightful.
Mandy NG Dedicated Space for Celebrations and Reunions
The venue caters smoothly to group reunions and milestone birthdays with generous finger food packages, dedicated sections, and attentive event staff.
I cannot think of a better venue for a gathering. It has been three years (and a whole pandemic) since all our boys left school. So, the 18 Footers was the perfect place for a long overdue parent reunion.
Linda Robson Welcoming Guest Entry for Non-Members
While operating as a sailing club, visitors and tourists can readily enter through simple guest sign-in at the door.
It’s a member bar but we were made most welcome and signed in as a guest from UK.
Graham Fletcher Direct Ferry Wharf Access on the Doorstep
The club is positioned directly at the Double Bay wharf, letting guests step straight off the ferry from Circular Quay or the city.
Great place for a relaxed catch up. Perfect opportunity to get the ferry directly from the city.
Tasha Olsen Custom In-House Roasted Morning Coffee
The integrated Cafe 18 brews house-roasted Yandoo Blend coffee and serves takeaway treats in eco-friendly paperless cups.
From my inaugural visit to Cafe 18 I felt joy. Beautiful smiles, fabulous coffee, paperless cups, banter and laughter.
