Comments of Hyde Hacienda Sydney Bar + Lounge
A. M.
This place was a little confusing to find, but once we got there it was all worth it. We were given a seat at the window with an amazing view of the Harbour Bridge by Camila, who was amazing and extremely attentive whilst also making the experience fun. Drinks came quickly and were BEAUTIFUL as well as tasty, the bar was just at our right, so we could also see the process and time that goes into making each drink. When we were given our second drink of the night we were also surprised by Eisha, who topped our night off with free shots, on the house. This place seems a little pricey at first, but would do it in a heartbeat again after witnessing the care and passion that the staff have for their customers nights out. Well worth the money and walk up the stairs. Thank you so much for making our night so special, especially Camila and Eisha. We will be back!
K. J.
lovely hidden gem :)
got cocktails 'mango no. 5' which was delicious, and the 'blue lagoon' which is also nice!!
offers plenty of small share foods, i got the sweet potato chips with chipotle sauce. it was a good size, though there are some dishes i saw which were essentially snack sized.
really rustic, colorful and modern environment, id love to come back:)
only irk is that the menu is a laminated piece of paper with a qr code, like bro just give us an actual menu please 😪 im sick of scanning things all the time
S. A.
Delicious cocktails! Some of the best I've had. Incredible view of harbour Bridge. Food was good too - but the guacamole and salsa quantity for the nachos was way too small for 5 ppl so we asked for more so. If there's more than 2 of you definitely ask for more.
N. W.
Stayed pullman quay grand syd harbour motel which treated us like family... and what an Experience at the Hyde hacienda bar!!! this place ❤❤❤ every moment of it!! the views were spectacular along with the food and drinks...😊😊 manager what can I say what an awesome guy!!!
D. U.
Had my partners 30th birthday at Hacienda, the staff were phenomenal and great at anticipating our needs. The venue is beautiful and drinks match the theme well, my only feedback is that the reservation team did take over 3 weeks to contact me regarding the booking and the food portions are on the small side but overall a great experience
A. N.
Had a dinner out with friends last night and it was a great experience. Our waitress Maria gave excellent service, she was always smiling and happy to help. 10/10 would recommend. Hacienda is a wonderful place with great views of the Harbour bridge and water.
A. H.
Channel was a standout at this gorgeous chic venue, with stunning views. Her customer service was generous, attentive, warm, prompt and left a mark on all of us. Great service all 'round. Food was good too! We will be back!
K. N.
I had very great time at the bar yesterday. Icha/manager, she made mine and my partner's night so very special. I will be forever thankful. Sunset and harbour view was exotic. Most recommended place!
C. C.
We went for some birthday drinks last night and were given a table with an amazing view. The cocktails were very tasty and our waiter, Angus, was great and gave us free birthday shots!
S. K.
From the moment we entered, we were greeted with friendly smiles and immediately were serviced by channel. Her service throughout the night was excellent and made us feel extremely welcomed. Would definitely recommend the hacienda!
Z. L.
Great view with nice food and drinks. The tuna tacos are so amazing!!!!! Really enjoy the vibe in this luxury atmosphere. The staff are so friendly and take care our area all the time even it’s busy. I strongly recommend this bar to everyone🤩
L. _. H.
This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable host Icha was very beautiful, delicious dishes, wonderful presentation, wide food list and wonderful cocktails . I recommend to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again and be served by icha😊🥰
R. S.
Came here on Aus Day - 26th of Jan with some girlfriends and had a fantastic time! beautiful views - awesome service, specifically by Maria. She looked after us, was kind - gave us great shot recommendations (PS THEY ARE A MUST HAVE!). Maria deserves some recognition and hopefully her value to the Business is celebrated. Nothing better of a location than having fabulous service.
P.S: (For the Business) Oysters weren't so good might be a tip to look into them!
J. Z.
Had a great birthday celebration this afternoon with hacienda. Maria provided us with great service and helpful cocktail recommendations! They were delicious, will definitely visit again
D. H.
Last Saturday we had such amazing night even we didn’t book a table. The cocktails are nice and service was exceptional, especially Elaine who looking after our table
J. A.
Great spot looking over the harbour. Icha is exceptional with her customer service, she'll be sure to look after you.
K. B.
Icha did a fabulous job today. Bottle of wine, great view and cocktails were amazing. Recommendations were as per expected. Hyde hacienda is great!!
g. c.
Very beautiful location & great cocktails.
We loved the happy hour!
I'm just sad they take bookings just for groups of minimum 5 people. My partner and I really wanted to book but was not possible. We went there as walk-in but of course all tables were reserved abd we had to stay at the bar :( such a pity!!!! I hope this can change 🙏 because we would love to go back and enjoy a special night.
T. L.
Don't normally review places but we had a very special night. Many thanks to Icha, shots and service were excellent. Harbour view was great, made a few friends jealous haha
O. G.
In my opinion Hacienda is way overrated. Good for drinks, food is actually below average and expensive. While the view is good, there are many places with better views of the harbour- you can't even see the Opera House.
M. f.
Such a lovely night at Hacienda. Icha was absolutely amazing! She made our night that much more enjoyable. Great location, great cocktail. Great night, thanks in large to Icha
S. K.
Really breathtaking venue, excellent views ,great location, delicious food and delightful drinks . Best dish was definitely the deep-fried macaroni cheese....Sebastian service was wonderful . I can highly recommend this venue
M. L.
Great laid back atmosphere, good a la carte menu and decently prices cocktails. Just the seating is a bit uncomfortable.
X. K.
Me and two of my friends came for a cocktail night and was served by the amazing Shanel. She was so lovely and amazing and was so happy to recommend the best cocktails on the menu. If you come her you have to ask to Shanel to be on your table if you want an amazing night!
R. H.
Pros: Great view and interior decor. Decent selection of snack options. I'd recommend this place for drinks before dinner.
Cons: Cocktails are very expensive and we didn't particularly enjoy them. That may in part be because we had to wait 25 minutes for our drinks, despite both myself and my partner approaching the waiter multiple times and following up.
We visited on a Monday night and it seemed like there were too few staff to cater to the number of patrons at the time, despite there being only a small number of patrons.
S. J.
We loved Elaine and all the staff at Hyde Hacienda. The service is unmatched definitely felt special here! Food and drinks were amazing
C. F.
Was served by Vincent and Elaine who were absolute professionals. I’m currently on crutches and they were incredibly considerate and accomodating. Thanks for the lovely evening. Will be back again!
R. D.
Chanelle was absolutely amazing!! She was kind to us all night and provided amazing service! The cocktails were excellent!
M. P.
Tamara was incredibly helpful and friendly. She went above and beyond to make my birthday celebration extra special. Love Hacienda’s!!
A. M.
My favourite cocktail bar in Sydney! The cocktails although a little on the expensive side, are absolutely delicious!! The staff are very friendly and provide great service and the view of the harbour is spectacular by day and by night. Highly recommend!
T. C.
We had the best time here. Sheenal was incredible and the loveliest host ever! She was a dream! Thank you for a lovely evening xxxx
E. R.
Great place to come for cocktails and a boogie-house and dance music, in the Pullman Grand Harbor Sydney-5 star luxurious Hotel. Hacienda niteclub.
Dance area too small would be my only negative however.
Service;Great cocktails, (try the Fresa Spritz $20.00)- great vibe, great service and great doorman opens the door for you - which is a nice touch.
Cleanliness; place looked neat, clean, I'll n order. Looked good, also u can book seats for large crowds.
Value for money; 20.00 cocktails, usual for the area. Expect to pay around 20 for cocktails.
X-factor;Great views of Sydney harbor bridge and harbour/ ferries. Could easily stay here all night...will be back and stay as a guest next time. Memorable night with memorable friends.
Please like this review if you found it helpful.
B. F.
The space is beautiful and got one of Sydney's best views. Service is a bit average though for the price that you pay, same with their choice of music (which could make a big difference at a place like that). When I was there some really loud techno music was on which didn't suit the place at all.
S. A.
We had such a lovely night and Elaine’s service was amazing. Such yummy cocktails and food too.
R. M.
Brilliantly located bar overlooking circular quay with great seating options but unfortunately this is where the positives end. The service (we went on a Sunday afternoon when it wasn't too packed) was very poor. As you walk in the 2 ladies at the door were too busy in conversation with each other to bother helping guests find a table and the bar tender looked like he was being held there against his will when asked to make cocktails 🍹 which the place advertises as their specialty. I had the Peruivian (pisco sour) cocktail which was interesting but a tad too heavy on the absinthe and clove garnish. Overall I would not recommend Hacienda but I've given it 3 stars for its spectacular view and great seating options
C. L.
Camila gave us an amazing service, ¡really good drinks!
We will definitely come back soon
A. F.
Absolutely amazing service, atmosphere and drinks. Could not ask for more. Vincent looked after us amazingly well. Thank you so much, we'll be back!!! 😀👍👍👍
O. R.
Amazing bartender and I wish there were more like him, Elias suggested an amazing Australian shiraz-based gin Negroni. Very knowledgeable about cocktails and giving tips for Sydney. Ask for this guy to make your drinks, he'll get you sorted!
The view is pretty nice during the afternoon and it is a very pretty place.
Went three times during my stay in Sydney and the second time we were turned away because one person in the group had on black sandals. It was in the afternoon and no one was there plus was really bad because I had talked up Hacienda to the group since my last time there was great.
Dumb door policy but had a great time with the cocktails and staff was very pleasant.
A. P.
A very nice bar with one of the best views in the world. Very helpful staff and good cocktail selection.
A. D. O.
The best value giant sangria jug (could definitely easily get 15 drinks out of it) for $45, and the most amazing views of the iconic Sydney Harbour bridge. The service wasn't amazing, to be honest, and somehow they ran out of chunky chips, which we eagerly awaited for a long, long time, but the views and sangria made up for it!
S. L.
Great views and atmosphere. Friendly staff too. Food however is rather average and a bit bland.
C. M.
Amazing views, super fun cocktails ($20+ though) and good nibbles (also bit expensive but worth it for this place). Good staff and good overall vibes of this place. Had amazing DJ adding to the good vibes of this place. Not many tables but good bar area while you're waiting. Also not big deal but they don't split bills fyi.
N. N.
A stylish cafe with nice harbour bridge view. Food was nice. Good place to have a brunch with friends. Only the coffee was typical.
Will definitely go back 🤍
Thanks Hacienda x
C. G.
5 star views, 5 star service and 5 star cocktails by Kevin. Will definitely be back!
L. A.
Kevin was unreal! Best cocktails and banter 🙌🏻… we will be back
a. s.
Need to get more efficient. Could have made so much more money off our group if they'd asked if we needed another drink/food more frequently
J. G.
Easily my favourite cocktail bar in Sydney! The drinks are top standard and the view does not get any better. Their wine selection offers a great selection as well. I've stayed there for hours on end. There are also plenty of food options that compliment the food. Must try the popcorn chicken. The only downside is the service speed. But in the grand scheme it's a golden treasure.
E. N.
A great little place for a drink to unwind after work or anytime really. Comes with an awesome view 😊
G.
Lovely staff with poor overall service. At 12.30pm on a Sunday with expected full reservations and two events, we were told most things have run out, including some alcohol. Given that, location and vibe is good. Not suitable for groups lunch or dinner once the available 3 tables are taken but good for drinks.
M. S.
Amazing views and amazing tasting drinks even though quite high prices! Service overall really good! Just one or two staff members that the few times i have been here make your presence feel unwanted.
S. R.
Amazing views of the harbour and great cocktails. Compliments to the host George for his excellent service! It gets pretty busy so definitely consider booking a table if you’re going with a group.
D. R.
Great vibe with lovely views. The music is not too loud so you can actually talk and socialise with friends.
The cocktails were delicious and lovely.
Food below average! (Could be improved with value for money and quality in general)
We enjoyed that it wasn't packed with people so plenty of room for everyone and social distance guidelines followed by Hyde!
Overall we had a great time. Service was great & the host was very attentive to everyone even at busy peak time!
A. V.
Cocktail bar with a VIEW!
Very cool interior. Well presented cocktails - however on the pricey side.
Nice place for a catch up with a sneaky cocktail or for some cocktails before dinner
M.
Great spot day or night to appreciate the Quay and Bridge. The view makes up for a multitude of sins. Staff were like ghosts.
J. F.
had an absolute ball thank you to Nate, amazing service from him!!!!
l. r.
Icha was awesome, very good service and friendly! Great views and would definitely return
S. R.
Some of the best views of Sydney.
Everytime I go they treat me very good. The staff is amazing and the cocktails are tasteful. They have a Portuguese bartender who's great. And the waiter, Daniel, is always taking care of my needs.
The atmosphere is quite enjoyable. Quite fun to be the bar of a hotel.
I place you must visit.
J. H.
Chill place to grab a drink. They have tasty cocktails and fun snacks. They aren’t all created equal. I recommend the popcorn chicken and rum cureceo
J. H.
Booked a table for anniversary. The view was good and the staff was friendly enough. We had 2 cocktail which was also pretty good. We then ordered the wagyu beef and my girlfriend the salmon crudo. The salmon was actually better than average, but the burger was horrible. It was cold and dry. Had to keep drinking to wash it all down. Stay away from the burger!
V. N.
Love coming here for gorgeous drinks. They even have really nice mocktails for those who don't drink alcohol, like me!

Beautiful venue, great decor, lovely view at sunset. It took 35-40mins to get 3 drinks which I found we overly sweet. There was next to no service at the table and I had to go to the bar to signal staff as there is no service at the bar either. Staff did not check on the table again for another 30mins. Would perhaps visit and order a bottle of wine to buffer the lack of service.
L. M.
Great views and delicious cocktails! However, the service was not the best. For an upmarket venue it was quite disappointing. When we arrived we had our order taken (a bottle of sparkling) and although there was only one other group there at the time it took 15min to arrive. We then had to go to the bar for the next few bottles and let them know we wished to order food because we couldn’t get the attention of the waiter, they really should check in from time to time to see if we wanted anything. Although the food was nice it was heavily overpriced for what we got. The tuna and avocado tacos although delicious were literally about 3-4cm long. I actually laughed when they came out! Lovely venue and great views, as it was our girls Christmas catchup (kid free!) we were keen to keep drinking but we gave up waiting to have our order taken so we went elsewhere in the end :(
N. C.
Fabulous views over Sydney Harbour in a lovely relaxed setting to enjoy a beverage and take in harbour life.
J. M.
I love this place!! Always a good time. The staff are wonderful. The cocktails are delicious and the view is to die for
A. D.
The view is excellent, but the food was ok and expensive. Just to have some drinks and enjoy the view
T.
Food, drinks and location are great. Staff and rude, disorganized and pushy. Never again.
M. T.
Great views! Funky cocktails!
Food, I can only comment on what I ordered..
Pumpkin arancini balls- they were to the small side, the breaded coating was quite tough.
Haloumi stuffed peppers- this was more of a ricotta-like creamy cheese, wasn't any significant.
Tuna Tacos- was ok, the taco itself was tough and just missing some citrus to cut through the raw fish.
Cassava chips with salsa- this was unexpexted. We were expecting deep fried cassava chips. What came out was very similar to the Asian puffed put prawn chips but more dense and stale. It definately did not go well with a salsa side.
Sweet potato fries- this was probably the only normal thing we ordered.
Charcuterie platter- wasn't worth. We had 3 types of cheese, the size of a finger. The cold cuts were not of quality..
C. V.
Was here for a private function. Gorgeous views of Sydney Harbour . Lovely canapes and great service .
L. F.
Great location, great drinks & food. Friendly staff who make sure you’re taken care of! Can’t wait to go back once restrictions lift a little!
B. D. k.
We ordered 2 cocktails (tasty) and crisp ($22, pretty expensive) - we got the bill at the table straight after we ordered before the drinks/food arrived.
We asked why we had to pay up front - as there where only 5 other tables and not busy at all or high bill....
Weird and not really customer friendly - doesn’t match with the concept.
Food is expensive.
Good cocktails, nice view etc.
J. S.
Has nice views out onto the city, can accommodate most cocktails that you would order, average selection. Friendly staff. Can be slightly difficult to find for first timers and can get overcrowded during peak times.
T. 2.
I highly recommended a lunch or drinks at this place! The food menu is quite limited but what I ordered was delicious and the view is just spectacular. There is a much more extensive drinks list. I found the service great and the atmosphere was lovely in the afternoon. Would definitely return in the future.
A. B.
Celebrated my birthday here and had a really good time. Food was good, our waitress was fun and super cool. We had amazing cocktails and of course a lovely view. Good for sunset drinks with friends.
B. C.
Amazing view. Cute spot with great cocktails.
C. O.
Recently visited Hyde Hacienda for a birthday. Wasn't too bad. Drinks took a while to come to the table and the vibe was so so considering it was a Saturday night. Beautiful view of the harbour and bridge though.
M. R.
Amazing view of Sydney Harbour. Staff attentive but quiet when we visited.
P. G.
Killer views - especially during lunch time on a gorgeous sunny day. The food is pretty good, with a reasonable range of sharing plates available, and a few mains. Though the staff don't always come across as very experienced, they have always been very friendly and accommodating.
L. S.
Fabulous cocktails with an unrivalled view of Sydney harbour. It's a great place to go with girlfriends for a nice Insta pic 😉
S. C.
Great service Elaine!! Great vibes, great night :)
D. C. C.
Staff are super friendly and bar staff are pretty cute.
All well trained and helpful. Cocktails are refreshing and the views are lovely over the harbour.
To get that coveted insta photo on the pink couches may require a group booking. I would highly recommend a group sitting to get great seats. Best in the day time to get the most of the view and the decor at this venue.
Situated above street level, a short stroll from the Opera House or circular quay train station.
Parking would be best at the Opera house.
Not a child friendly venue but a fabulous spot to go with your girlfriends.
M. M.
Fantastic view, vibes and cocktails. Went as a group and unfortunately all the larger tables were booked out. You will need to book in for larger groups as they have a small section for walk ins. Food was good but on the pricey side. Although the cocktails were amazing, service was slow and the place was only half full. Other than that, would score higher.
R. M.
I went to Hacienda last night on a date and must say the cocktails were delicious and the atmosphere was great. I will say that last drinks was at 9 and the lights were raised and we were pretty much asked to leave at 9:45. I understand that on a Tuesday night it’s not your busiest time but to rush your customers that were actually there out the door was very disappointing.
R. N.
Nice place for brunch but a bit concern about hygienic, I spotted lipstick stain still remains on the rim of a drinking glass that one of the staff offered me to drink. Obviously they didn't wash it properly 😖
H. C.
I want to give a huge shout out of thanks to the staff of P&O & the Hyde Hacienda Sydney, for helping my beautiful friends Keri & Jason have their wedding.
The wedding was suppose to be on the P&O Explorer, however, due to the "C" virus all cruises were cancelled so it was looking like the wedding wasn't going to be able to happen. These wonderful staff members & some of Keri & Jason's friends rallied together & in 48hrs managed to pull together an absolutely stunning service & reception for K&J.
We are all so very grateful for everyone's help in making their special day go ahead.
You all did a terrific job.
J. I.
Nice looking place and nice views but I hate how busy it always is and always so crammed and have to be on a long waiting list to get seating. But it’s understandable as it is a small area in a prime location. I recommend going early and putting your name on the seating list. Their glasses that they serve drinks in are nice and heavy.
A. K.
Amazing restaurant/bar in Circular Quay with gorgeous views of the harbour. Food ideal for sharing with a group of friends, such amazing seafood options!
M. T.
Expensive but great vibes. Cocktails are a bit hit and miss, probably your best bet is to ask the bartender to surprise you. Food is overpriced but pretty good quality. The feature wall is my favourite part, and the harbour views.
M. B.
Wonderful views over circular quay. Both food and beverage offerings were top notch. High end on pricing but all in all was a great experience. If it's a sunny day it can get very hit by the windows. My suggestion is to ask them to lower the blinds
S. R.
After a beautiful Christmas breakfast with mum, we decided to stop in at the Pullman Quay Grand, for an impromptu coffee break in the gorgeous Hacienda .
We had spent Christmas morning at the Pullman a couple of years ago and after telling everyone how much we loved it, today seemed like the perfect time to share it with mum.
Impeccable service and welcomed us with warm arms regardless of the fact Christmas lunch was near. Our fears of imposing were not even a thought after we were quick to be seated and shown how hospitable an establishment the Pullman is.
Hotels everywhere could learn a whole lot here.
Many thanks and Christmas cheer.
I. L.
Top level of Pullman Grand at circular quay. Panorama view of the harbour bridge in a relaxed setting, discreet staff. Good selection of drinks and cocktails. Snacks available also. Price is on the high end, but worth the view that comes with it.
L. W.
Great view, table service, get there early if you want a nice comfy chair. Only downside is the air con is quite ineffective on a hot, humid day like today so we ended up leaving as it was very hot in there. The venue can be accessed from Circular Quay, next to the ice cream shop is a door, then take the lift to level 3
D. C.
WOW what a view! was the first thing I thought when stepping into the Hacienda Bar on my first visit.
To add to the beautiful summer afternoon vista, a cruise ship was moored across the Quay and over the course of a couple of bottles of wine, it gracefully reversed into Sydney Harbour before our eyes
Let me just say that as the view is expensive, so are the prices. However, for a group of friends who don't see each other often it didn't matter.
The staff were discreet and efficient and allowed us to eat, drink and chatter away at our own pace.
The food, Cuban / American / Latin fusion, was well presented (particularly the tuna ceviche and tortilla) and with an extensive cocktail and drinks menu, all garnished with a beautiful view over Circular Quay, the Hacienda Experience was well worth it.
K. A.
I am writing from the perspective of hosting an event here.
The venue speaks for itself with the amazing views and "instaworthy" shots, but I found the customer service to be excellent too! Nothing was too much trouble and staff were accomodating to each and every detail.
L. D. C.
My first time here and I can say without a doubt that this place is awesome!
It has a nice view of the quay, the selection of drinks will satisfy all patrons and the venue, thanks to the verandas, feels very fresh.
It's going for a fresh Cuban vibe. Although there are cigar boxes scattered around theach venue, the toxic smell of cigars is non existent thanks to our smoking laws -- a godsend for all who don't want their clothes smelling lIke an ash tray.
The staff are great but be aware that a lot of the patrons here order cocktails so expect a lengthy wait.
Overall this is a place I'll gladly revisit again and again.
K. H.
Reading all these reviews im very confused as i went here not that long ago and the food was amazing i got the octopus and i loved it service was good aswell
J.
Great venue for a beautiful sunny day. Went on a weekday afternoon and it was very lovely.
My main issue was that my meal wasn’t what was advertised, the fish of the day option isn’t what is actually advertised so best to ask what it comes with as it’s not at all what’s listed on the menu - saffron potatoes, green beans, plaintain and chorizo are listed on the menu but the fish was just served with a few pieces of asparagus and tiny carrots.
Another thing to be mindful of is that the meals also came out at seperate times so some people finished their meals before others received theirs.
H. P.
Two for cocktails on a Friday afternoon.
I'm still a little confused about the booking situation. Online it said no bookings for two people on a Friday, but there seemed to be tables booked for people.
It's a beautiful outlook, but faces west so the afternoon sun can be intense.
Bar snacks were nice. Cocktails were lovely and the bar staff very friendly, but lack of table service meant someone was constantly queuing at the bar. Table service for a $20+ cocktail doesn't feel like too much to ask. The cocktails come in very small glasses.
K. f.
I had my birthday yesterday at Hacienda and had the most amazing time ever! All the staff members are an absolute pleasure, the service is great, the food delicious and cocktails to die for!! Seriously thank you so much for making my birthday a day to remember forever. Needless to say this place has the most espectacular views in Sydney and the DJ was really good too!
D. S.
Great buzzy vibe, interesting cocktails made by accomplished mixologists and an amazing view of Circular Quay
D. L.
Just enjoyed a delightful cool drink and warm bread at ecq bar. What a great way to watch the setting sun over the harbour after a big day of tourist walking. The staff were friendly and efficient. Lovely surroundings above the tourist rabble and as reasonably priced as any bar I've ever visited.
J. L.
Excellent bar with a great selection of cocktails, decor and amazing views.
R. M.
We waited over an hour for our first drinks to be delivered. Staff didn't seem to be too concerned even after being asked 3 times. Disappointing when your paying the prices they are asking. Then they made it right by offering a free round.
S. S.
Top knotch service, hosts were very attentive. Had my birthday event here yesterday and can I say just wow .. amazing decor !! They also offer mocktails for the non-drinkers ! I loved every bit of the place !! Food portion sizing was good.
e. h.
Do you like to pair Nike airforce sneakers with a slip dress? This is the place for YOU!! The harbour bridge views are hot as, highly recommend this place ❤️
L.
View could have been grand, if the rude and unhelpful waitress (in suit jacket and glasses) had given us the table we had booked. What could have been a perfect experience almost ruined by her.
Y. O.
Good place if you want have a view of iconic Sydney with fancy drinks. The decoration is nice, but it’s overpriced. Could improve service quality.
D. W.
I was here for a 5 course meal for an event we were involved with, the Sydney Harbour Concours d ‘Elegance classic car show
The flavours were amazing
S. L.
Friendly and professional staff, nice food and drink
L. “.
The view and decor was great, however we felt a bit ignored at times and there was something wrong with the music as it would turn off and on at regular intervals. Ok place if you want to take a tourist for a drink - but wasn't inspired to linger.
J. L.
Amazing place with amazing view, just facing Harbour Bridge! Nice decoration with nice music and light. The drink is special and appealing. So pitty on missing the kitchen. Must return!

We were a walk in and needed to wait around an hour for a table. Disappointed when we were provided a small table for quite a large group. Not enough room for our food and drinks meaning we had to eat on our lap. There is no way that you can order food without a table as the plates are quite large. Waitress insisted that we start a tab when we were seated. If this is a condition of a table, it should be stated up front. Waitress agreed to allow us to order and pay individually.
The miami burger was dry. Sweet potato chops under cooked and underseasoned. The "prawn skewers" were actually mini sugar cane prawns, not the real deal. The ceviche was amazing but didn't match with the charcoal tortillas.
Overall nice place with a nice view but definitely more potential. Most staff were friendly and helpful.
S. A.
Great food and brilliant service and staff.

I came here to catch up with a few girls.
Pros: amazing view and really pretty on the inside.
Cons: service is really slow. We didn't want to pester but had to keep asking after our drinks and food. I think the air conditioning was also broken so it was stuffy as.
N. P.
Amazing experience went above and beyond for my daughters birthday Can’t recommend them enough Beautiful surroundings and view of the harbour Great music Loved the atmosphere Staff were incredible Will definitely be coming back soon 💕
C. G.
Drinks were great, staff polite, views fantastic, but the '8 wanky potato strips' not fries mentioned above were 6 in our bowl for $12! And they didn't taste like $2 per chip should taste! (Maccas hash browns are better!)
Shame.
A. M.
Polite waitresses, good ambience, pricey food, too few options, strange there was no music playing. They served something for free in paper pocket which is good but I highly recommend to serve it in a basket. It would have a way better impression.

Hidden secret in CQ..... This bar/restaurant has great views of the harbour Opera House and Bridge.The food is great and the drinks are cheaper than most tourist spots around the harbour. The open windows give you the live buzz of the below walk way. Staff is great as well.
R. B.
Location, views, food and service. Perfect place to celebrate a milestone birthday. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Good selection of food. We all had a great time.
C. E.
Love the location and epic views of the harbour . The food is extremely tasty (which isn't so in Cuba!😏) the vibes are very on point and they do a great replica of Cuban interiors 💕. Service was a little on the slow side but other than that - 👌🏻👌🏻
N. L.
Lovely bar close to the sea front on a rise from the circular quay promenade. The entrance is on the back street parallel to the rast side of the quay. Drinks are good but expensive as you would expect from the location. Pleasant vibe from the clientele but can get too full at times particularly Friday nights...
S. M.
It has been an amazing experience, the place is amazing, the atmosphere friendly and welcoming, the service impeccable, the location simply perfect. Thank you to all the staff and in particular to George who helped me from the beginning, explaining clearly all the details, complying all my requests and making sure everything was perfect during the party.
K. M.
Perfect spot for after work drinks or to start the night. Atmosphere is great but dies off early as there isn't any music any people tend to have a drink or two then move on. Can't beat the stunning harbour views!
A. H.
Very hip bar with great views of the harbour and a good selection of food and drinks. It’s definitely a place you would go for the atmosphere, just make sure you get in early.

Great 5 star hotel. Beautiful view of Sydney Harbour .looks over Sydney ferry terminal.. great service wonderful staff.
L. B.
Great place to go for delicious drinks, and to watch the sunset! Music is fun and loud. Food is also tasty, with portions leaning on the small side.
J.
Great place, great spot on Sydney Harbour. Casual dining with responsive staff and clean, well maintained seating. And a view TDF.
C. A.
Beautiful view.
My partner and I went for arvo drinsk yesterday.
Bought a scotch, a cocktail and bottle of Veuve.
Really good afternoon with nice service.
Definitely recommend.
T. N.
Great views. Food is ok, they only have small plates/bar food which is good to share. Good cocktail list
R. W.
Beautiful location. Overpriced drinks.

Planned to come here months in advance and we weren't disappointed. Great location and atmosphere. Cocktails were delicious.
C. B.
Great view for a night out drink.
A. T.
Great venue location and good cocktails.
N. S.
If the staff spent less time kissing each other when they start their shifts and more time serving we wouldn’t have to wait for 20 mins in line. Beautiful view!
B. T.
Nice bar with good views, it's the old ECQ bar with a make over. The bar guy didn't know his cocktail menu and had to follow the recipe so drinks took a long time.
E.
Nice place with better views. The service was also pretty good.
R. P.
Delicious food! Has to be the best atmosphere in Sydney. To make things even better the service very friendly however inconsistent
M. D.
Fantastically located bar with nice views of Ferry activity at Circular Quay and our Harbour Bridge. Comfortable seating if you can get one at this popular bar.
S. C.
Great place with relaxed vibe overlooking the harbour. It doesn't get nearly as busy as some of it's neighbours. Catch it at it's best straight after work or for some pre dinner or pre show drinks. The views are worth it!
K. H.
It’s a great place to sit and drink.. Have been there many times but the food is horrible for the price.. Cheeseburger, bun hard and the meat tasted like rubber.. $26.00.. We sent it back..
T. P.
Cocktails are decent, beer selection is ok, burgers are rubbish, would have prefered MC D. Staff seem disinterested. View is stunning.
T. R.
Amazing view of Sydney’s iconic Circular Quay. Staff were awesome and super down to earth, service for food and drink were tops!
M. Y.
Great vibes, tasty share plates, yummy cocktail and mocktails, great views of the Harbour Bridge and the ferries passing through Circular Quay.
L. T.
Place was nice good views but a tad small. Just good for a one or two cocktails.. but be prepared to wait for it! Strange how there was no music playing either.
E. F.
Nice view, friendly staff. Good choice of cocktails but quiet expensive. I wouldn't recommend the beed empenadas which were almost empty.
O. A.
Great view. Cocktails were average. Food was OK but slow
T. H.
Expect to wait at the bar for a long time as cocktails are mesmerising to watch in their preparation but looooong. Staff were friendly though!
B. B.
Looking forward to returning here with friends. Beautiful view of the harbour bridge and prices aren’t too bad either. Thanks
J. Z.
LOVE Hacienda! Not only is the venue amazing but the staff are so nice and the drinks are amazing

Fantastic service. Made our little one a cool funky drink. She thought it was awesome. Great views.

Service at the bar was slow with only one person mixing drinks. But it was delicious once we finally got it.
A. T.
One of the few places with a view at Circular Quay that has decent food that won't break the budget. Come here for a drink and a meal before or after Opera House shows.
L. D. C.
My first time here and I can say without a doubt that this place is awesome!
It has a nice view of the quay, the selection of drinks will satisfy all patrons …

Can’t necessarily rate the food or drinks but want to mention that they closed around 9:30pm and said that they close a different time everyday depending on the amount of customers they have which I found to be odd.
I. T.
Amazing views, cocktails are delicious and the food is beautiful.

Hacienda is great for a drink and a view. We had a group booking of about 13 and the service was slow, the servers were overwhelmed and the food came out late so after snacking for 2 hours we were too full to enjoy the massive platters that finally arrived. The quality of the food was average and they had no vegan options besides hot chips. The only things worth boasting about are the sunset view of the harbour bridge and the Passionfruit Caprioskas, which is a shame, because I had much higher expectations for such a well located and hyped up venue.

Bar and view so relaxing ...
M. D.
Uou! Amazing! Great! Unforgettable!!!
R. e.
Its ok but not great.
G. D.
OK but doesn't measure up to its great location.
Staff were good if a little un-engaged.
Drinks and views were also good. The new decor is a big miss.
The Bar food was very sub standard - from just OK - to bland - to send it back. The fries were atrocious.
Cost: $50 pp - but they would not divide the bill...one card or cash only. Not a smart move in a 5 star hotel
