About Opera Bar
Opera Bar sits on the lower concourse of the Sydney Opera House, right on the water's edge between the sails and the Harbour Bridge. It is the most photographed drinks terrace in Australia and it is a 90-second walk from a water taxi pontoon. Arrive by water taxi and you skip the Circular Quay crowds entirely: your skipper drops you at the Opera House pontoon or Man O'War Steps and you walk straight onto the concourse.
Why arrive by water
- No parking hunt — you step off at Man O'War Steps (Opera House)
- Door-to-door for groups up to 30+ passengers
- Licensed local skippers and insured vessels
- Live fare up front — no surprises at the wharf
