About Pier Bar

Perched over Sydney Harbour, Pier Bar pairs overwater cabanas and relaxed sunset drinks with a dedicated menu for four-legged regulars.

Harbour-goers gather on the timber pier to watch water traffic glide past while dogs lounge beside their tables with custom canine dishes and treats. The kitchen keeps the pace casual with Wagyu cheeseburgers and fresh rainbow trout salad—rounding out afternoons with cold drinks and crisp shoestring fries at the water's edge.

  • Overwater Pier Cabanas: Timber pier seating and shaded cabanas set directly over the harbour offer front-row views of passing water traffic.
  • Dedicated Dog Menu: Tailored food and drink options alongside treats make pets feel welcomed rather than merely accommodated.
