Bondi Bar Crawl

The Anchor

8 Campbell Parade, Bondi

At the Anchor, a newish Bondi bar just around the corner fromIcebergs, you can enjoy tequila in just about any way you can think of thanks to a crack team lead by star Sydney boozetarian, Andy Penney.

Bucket List

Bondi Pavilion, Queen Elizabeth Dr, Bondi

It's really all about jugs of Pimms and buckets of prawns here. The sprawling restaurant and bar is about as close as you'll get to St Tropez's Club 55 and a Paris Hilton Champagne shower on the eastern beaches.

North Bondi Italian Food

120 Ramsgate Ave, North Bondi

Does Italian get any cooler in Sydney? A glass of Campari and grapefruit along with some arancini, spectacular views of Bondi and good company equals a pretty damn good spot in our books.

Bondi Hardware

39 Hall St, Bondi

Good tunes, mini hotdogs and a kick-arse Hardware Maria made with a splash of beetroot juice and a sesame salt rim are reasons enough to visit this Bondi bar set up in the old Thrifty Link Hardware store.

Icebergs

1 Notts Ave, Bondi Beach

If you’re coming on the weekend, early afternoon is absolutely the call to ensure a good spot. And on a summer’s afternoon, the cool white design of Icebergs frames the deep blue hues of the Pacific Ocean. We love it.

Stuffed Beaver

271 Bondi Rd, Bondi

You get all the best parts of a North American-style bar – beers, hot wings, a bull mastiff guarding the door – without any of the inconvenience of sub-freezing temperatures and carnivorous wildlife.

The Flying Squirrel

249 Bondi Road, Bondi

The Mai Tais are exceptional and with a list that also features Bloody Caesars, it’s hard to go wrong. On the food side, the serving sizes are perfect for sharing and it comes out quick. Definitely hook into the edamame, polenta chips, arancini, zucchini flowers and the salt and Sichuan squid.

Corner House

281 Bondi Rd, Bondi

This chic restaurant-cum-bar has commanded the corner of Denham Street and Bondi Road for a couple of years now and shows no sign of losing its charm, friendly atmosphere and service. Freshen up with a Venetian Spritzer or a Bulldog gin and tonic and then settle into a bottle of the 2007 Luigi Bosca Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon from Mendoza Argentina.

The Rum Diaries

288 Bondi Rd, Bondi

You could say that the aptly-named Rum Diaries on Bondi Road is somewhat of a shrine to all things rum. Rum cocktails, food matched with rum, rum barrels... you get the picture.

Buckler's Canteen Ltd

Corner Campbell Parade and Beach Road, Bondi

The Wreck in Bondi is no longer. Say hello to Buckler's Canteen. It'skind of like those US saloon bars you see in movies but by the seaside. There is a pool table, sticky tables, tasty bar snacks and cold beers, all with a sea breeze.
