Ratings and reviews

Location and contact.

We went to Cruise Bar two celebrate our 53rd Wedding Anniversary. The staff were confused and distracted with other things. There was no table service, we sat for a long time before someone told us to order from the counter. We ordered oysters (6) they... we so small I had to put my reading glasses on to see them. My wife orders Fish and chips, she said it was great. I ordered the ocean trout, it also was very nice, no it was great also. The food was great, the service was very lacking, we had to ask for water, servietts, when the water did come the waiter spilt water over me opening the bottle Would I go back again , probably not, service was so bad. So sad as the food was great More

Dropped in on a Sunday lunch for food and drink. The bar staff were not the best, slow in action and strangely offering a glass with ice and straw for none alcohol beer. (And when my wife asked for another glass they offered her ice... again …). And the glass she received was dirty and wasn’t used. Food was okay for a bar. More

Fabulously location looking over Circular Quay to the Sydney Opera House. Open air with more than half the seating outside. It’s a great setup. You can order via a QR code order system or go to bar. They have a happy hour if that’s of... interest. Best of all is a live band. Fantastic. The staff including security were all friendly and helpful ... even though I see there are some bad comments about them. We had no problems and neither did anyone else that we could see. More

Shocking experience. Beginning from booking last year to the day of the party. Event management staff is incompetent and rude together with their general manager. My chosen vine list was printed wrong, the table numbers were missing and And they had to print them on... the spot, the food was everage and to top it up they embarrassed me in front of all my guests by not providing all the food that was printed on the menu. I would suggest the management to train their staff to provide better customer service or change them altogether. This venue is good for drinks only and dont have an experience to hold big sit down formal dinners ( Even though my party was only 55 people) Would never recommend that venue to anyone More

We decided to take our elderly parents to the Cruise Bar the night before they embarked on a trip of the lifetime cruise the following day. As we had a booking for dinner elsewhere, we thought we would enjoy Happy Hour at this establishment. After... having been given normal drinks menus, we had to ask for the Happy Hour menus, which are separate and smaller. The bottled Peroni beer listed had, according to staff, run out. When asked if the Peroni beer on tap was included in the Happy Hour prices, we were told yes. We were later charged the full price. Be aware that house white and bubbles are included in this charade but Rose is not.. again not explained when we ordered. We had to ask twice for an ordered cheese platter, and when it arrived after 30 minutes, had only 4 crackers! Staff were chaotic, unreliable and disinterested. Our view was nothing like what appears on the website, but that of an enormous Ship wall. Clearly geared towards weary and desperate travellers, take this place off your list if you want to enjoy with family and friends More

Where do I start??! We paid 200pp for Melbourne Cup and after waiting 20 minutes to walk in (the package was meant to start at 12) we finally get in. Once we get there (after they waste time because they can't locate anyone's names) we're... told we're sharing table with strangers (at the rooftop package, and there's absolutely no info about this on the receipts we paid for.) Of 5 tables on the rooftop there was just 1 getting service, they had 1 of which wine, beer and drink from the drinks package served to their table whilst everyone else had to keep going to the bar to ask for drinks. There was a hair on the food as you can see in the photo, and we got no apologies from it as the server replaced it.They got a laugh from it as well as "it happens". We were not given any napkins and had to wait 30min for it after the request. Please see the photo I've uploaded for the "best dressed male". YES. That was it. A white casual shirt with a bege pants. Nothing more, nothing less. YES!!!! It was the ONE table given drinks and table service. Hilarious, isn't it? Also, this same table got cocktails outside of the package, whilst when a lady from my table went to the bar to request for a glass of wine that was not on the drinks package and said she would pay for it, she was refused service. ????? Also, stay away from the food. They served us warm raw seafood. I feel like throwing $400 on the bin is the same thing as dining here, with low quality food and absolutely awful service. I will never come back here and won't recommend this to anyone. More

Extremely poor service by management! Having a staff member aggressively approach me and my guest while trying to express our dissatisfaction with our time at this venue. Not only did we ask to speak to management but manger by the name of Nathan completely brushed... off our concerns and did not help resolve the issue or reprimand the staff member who was aggressive towards us when trying to make a complaint. Noting that our group had spent more than $1K in drinks within a couple of hours which seemed to have no impact on the staffs response to us. Will never book a corporate function at this venue again. More

Place has a nice view and bar staff was nice. Main security had some issues tho, he was terrorising customers as they were travelling between the bar and table to get the drink. They even throw my drinks I just bought without my permission, we... spend thousands $ in this place but it was disappointing, security guard really aggressive to costumers. I think some people were thrown out after midnight because of standing up beside their table, while everyone was standing up during fireworks. Security ruins the place, owners/management should intervene. More

I have just been here to have the crab and chorizo stuffed sea trout and it was absolutely delicious. The crispy skin on the trout was the best I have ever had. Very reasonable prices and friendly staff made the whole experience perfect.

The glass of Coopers beer I had was very poor quality. I consider I have knowledge regarding the quality of tap beers and the beer I received was served in a dirty glass. Considering the price charged for drinks at the Cruise Bar one would... expect to receive quality drinks. They need to learn how to effectively clean their glasses More

We Ordered the Pimms cocktail jug. The Photograph on the menu was full of fruit. (Berries, apple, mint) What we received had a slice of lemon & lime. When we went back to the bar I showed the bar man the image on the menu... which we ordered on from the app. He didn’t apologise or seem too happy to have to change it. All he said was “that’s pimms”He took the jug from us and started to fix it. The other waitress over seeing this apologised and said she’d bring it down. Wouldn’t recommend here. The quality of cocktail & service wasn’t friendly. You can see the before & after pics of the cocktail attached. More

Worst place in Sydney I have been too … everything is bad about you guys . Time to shut it down and go home . Spare the paying customers . I can’t imagine anyone still running this . Simple fries seemed to be cooked 12hours... ago . No service , bad food , bad ambience More

Last night in Sydney so we ordered the seafood platter ($160) and a couple of glasses of wine. Had to go and find water and serve ourselves. Ordered our meal via the Q code (whatever happened to table service?) …. Platter was totally underwhelming ….... Chewy mussels, padded out with a lot (!) of lukewarm fries, calamari had seen better days (lukewarm also) and the lobster was decidedly average as well. More

I have been to the Cruise bar about 5-6 times in the last two years, always with some Aussie friends. Today I went to get a drink with my husband and asked if we could enter. The security did not want us crowding the entrance... so they told me to stand in a corner a little far away . After that the security staff came to me and said that we would not be allowed to enter since we were wearing running shoes ( which is what I have been wearing to Cruise bar every time I’ve been there and it has not been a problem so far). About 10 seconds after the security told us we would not be allowed inside, a couple wearing the same were allowed in, clearly the colour of their skin made the shoes invisible. If you don’t want people of colour /a different country to come in, just put up a sign. Wait, you can’t do that anymore. Racist . Racist. Racist. More

We had quite a large group of friends getting together which can be a bit daunting for any venue but absolutely nothing was s problem for the delightful staff at Cruise Bar! sensational harbour views, delicious cocktails & nibbles & great live musical all provided... the perfect ambience for a wonderful night out for us all. A few of us have visited Cruise more recently for a quieter, more relaxed evening & the vibe was the same, simply wonderful! Can highly recommend More
