Top 10 bars in Darling Harbour including restaurants and nightclubs to enjoy after your Hens Party cruise in Darling Harbour.
Hens parties are frequently a full day or even whole weekend event. It doesn’t really matter if you choose brunch, lunch or dinner with us; the hen’s party cruise is the perfect warmer for the girl’s night out. Start the cocktails, feed your guests to make sure the night goes smooth and play some games to help everyone to get to know each other — everything with the perfect background for your photos, the Sydney Harbour.
But we all know that celebrating the last fling before the ring gives everyone much energy. So we’ve prepared a list of the Top 10 bars in Darling Harbour and restaurants to extend your night after our cruise. If the girls feel super excited after that, 2 of the top 10 bars in Darling Harbour are nightclubs.
1. Cargo Bar
Our first of our Top 10 bars in Darling Harbour is Cargo Bar. Right in front of the King Street Wharf, where you will drop off from your cruise, this bar has you covered. This cocktail bar with 80s NYC vibes delivers a fun night out. Enjoy the long list of cocktails, local wines and beers; they frequently have DJs and a dance floor during the weekend. Everything is just there, on the promenade.
2. The Loft
If your looking for something more upmarket, a few meters away, also on the promenade, The Loft is the right place for you. Indulge yourself with incredible cocktails and fantastic views. They have another venue just downstairs that can cover the dancing girls while the rest of the group is celebrating just being together in an amazing place.
3. Champagne Bar by Sofitel
Champagne Bar is perfect for the bubbles fans and is a luxury but cozy bar with high ceilings and leather booths. Enjoy the perfect sip with panoramic views over the city skyline. With the bonus of being able to sleep in the hotel and don’t need to worry about Uber rides to everyone. Champagne Bar is one of our favorites listed here on the top 10 bars in Darling Harbour.
4. Atelier by Sofitel
I doubt you will be hungry after our cruise, but some groups love the gastronomy experience, and Atelier will cover it. In the same Sofitel building as the last one, this french-inspired restaurant serves the refined twist between southern French and Australian cuisine.
5. Helm Bar
Helm Bar is your go-to if your hens are classic gals. Enjoy the best Aussie classics with old-school hospitality on the terrace with the unmissable Cockle Bay Wharf view.
6. Zephyr Sky Bar
With a nautical-inspired setting, the awarded Zephyr Sky Bar it’s the perfect match if you feel like staying on the cruise. Extensive spirits and liquor menu and perfect share plates to keep your girls fed while the night goes on. This bar is luxurious, from the menu to the incredible views.
7. Smoke Bar
Another amazing rooftop, Smoke Bar mixes the chic and the cheeky. Inspired by the LA and NYC rooftop bars, this place will transport you overseas with a great wine list and selected cocktails. The live DJs set the vibes every weekend to make you and your gals feel the best right here in Sydney.
8. Home the Venue
If your B2B is a dancing queen, Home the Venue is the place for her last disco. One of the biggest nightclubs in Sydney, you can find something for your group in one of their eight rooms. Local and international DJs are lining up here weekly, and even the Magic Men show happens every weekend. But I’m sure you’ll prefer an intimate performance from one of their strippers in our boats only for your group, right?
9. Jade Rabbit at The Star
One of the many bars inside The Star, the Jade Rabbit is an eye-catching premium bar; it’s nothing like basic. The 6-metre high shelf stocked with the best drinks in town and excellent service will deliver the best to your gals.
10. Marquee Sydney at The Star
As we can see, The Star Sydney it’s an excellent after-party for the girls and is featured a few times in our Top 10 bars in Darling Harbour. With many different venues will find something for your taste. Including the expansive Marquee Sydney, like the stunning views aren’t enough, one of Australia’s most epic nightclubs features live performances and DJs. Three rooms with different experiences, this 20000 square feet is the perfect close to your girl’s night out!
