Pub in Campbell Parade
The landmark 1920s pub sitting directly opposite the sand at the southern end of Campbell Parade, pairing an ocean-view public bar with a Modern Australian kitchen and the more polished Curlewis Bar.
This is the big, unmissable heritage corner pub anchoring Bondi's main strip, and we'd choose it when you want a beachfront drink and a feed without a fuss or a booking. The kitchen runs a stone-fire pizza oven alongside seafood and pub classics, so a large mixed group can order across parmy-and-schnitzel territory and lighter oysters-and-ceviche in one sitting. Weekend DJs and Sunday sessions turn it from a daytime lunch spot into a proper late-night venue.
Wood-fired pizza, the chicken parmy or veal schnitzel for pub-classic comfort, or lean into the raw bar with oysters, prawns and ceviche if you're coming straight off the beach; cocktails at the Curlewis Bar.
Buzzy, high-volume beachside pub; laid-back by day, party-leaning late.
Local tip: Skip the ground-floor scrum and head up for the terrace and ocean views, or slip into the Curlewis Bar when you want the cocktails and a slightly calmer room.
Worth knowing: It's a high-turnover tourist-strip pub, so food quality can be uneven and it gets loud and crowded on weekends — come for the location and atmosphere rather than a refined meal.
Hours, prices and menus change — always check the venue’s own site before you go. Spotted something out of date? We keep this directory current; details reflect our last check.
