Another superb summertime venue, Bungalow 8 sits right on the edge of Sydney’s famed harbour. Escape the fast-paced surroundings of Sydney and revel in the beachside tropical vibes of Bungalow 8. Sun-drenched sanctuary on Sydney Harbour by day, summer dance club by night.
If it’s a sunny day – and if everyone remembers to bring sunnies – Bungalow 8 offers some of life’s more glorious combinations: seafood, lapping waves, cocktails and warm rays. Channelling a Manhattan-meets-tiki bar vibe, Bungalow 8 is one of the most popular hangouts in Sydney. By day, Bungalow 8 is something of a bistro; by night, it’s a happening and bustling bar. On the weekend, even more of a club vibe is instated, with regular guest DJs taking to the floor. As a function venue, it’s remarkably flexible. It's a good spot for after-work drinks or a birthday that begins relaxed and ascends to party mode. Given the huge amount of room (enough for 1200 guests), it’s also conducive to large corporate functions.
