When we talk about dining spots with a difference, the one name that inevitably comes to everyone’s mind is the popular harbour cruises.

Click awesome snaps of the Lighting of the Sails of the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, Luna Park and other attractions, before heading inside to enjoy the freshly prepared dishes! You can also opt to purchase sparkling drinks and other beverages to even further enhance this breathtaking experience! So what are you waiting for?! Get booking for a special experience!
Hacienda
In the early years of Vivid, Circular Quay didn’t have a lot to offer to its revellers but as the years went by and the festival saw a drastic expansion, this changed. Inside the Pullman Quay Grand you can come across a chic bar with a tantalising signature cocktail list and a mouth-watering South American influenced menu. The well popular hacienda is located right above the Circular Quay and offers unparalleled views of the harbour and its precinct, including the iconic bridge. There aren’t many places around where you can enjoy a premium beverage in a lounge seat along with striking views of the Vivid lights, so this an ideal option for smaller groups. You can easily get a seat during the weekdays but on the weekends you need to act quick as these are peak time!
Glenmore, The Rocks
When it comes to rooftop bars Sydney has plenty but there is only one name that can take the title of the best rooftop garden in the city and that is The Glenmore. Serving delicious food and seductive drinks since 1921, this public bar embodies the true essence of The Rock and its pub vibes with indoor and outdoor seating, offering unrivalled views of the harbour and its surroundings! The views of the famous Bridge and the House can be seen clearly from here and the retractable roof only adds to the ambient setting. Witness all the flashing lights far and near while enjoying their signature dishes and popular cocktails. This is also one of those places you would want to get early!
The Deck, Luna Park
Sydney with its sparkling harbour and illuminating bridge has never looked so special. The Deck Bar inside the Luna Park is really something and while it's not an all year favourite, it is a great spot to view the sparkling Harbour Bridge. Plus, you can enjoy some fish tacos and go on rides till late night! Sounds like a swell plan right? Head over to this legendary amusement park now!
