Harbourfront bar on the Lower Concourse of the Opera House with live music, no entry fee and views of the Harbour Bridge.

Opera Bar is on the Lower Concourse at Bennelong Point, beside the Sydney Opera House, with tables facing the Harbour Bridge. Time Out's October 2026 guide lists it as walk-in only, and its June 2026 live-music guide notes live music through the week with no entry fee. An older review, dated 2015, gives 11:30 until late every day and puts pub staples at about A$30.

It is the obvious first stop for a harbour sunset. Not for you if you want a guaranteed table. The bar is walk-in only, so arrive early on a busy night.
