Restaurant in Campbell Parade
An all-day café, bar and Modern Australian restaurant on Campbell Parade that runs from sunrise coffee straight through to late-night cocktails opposite the beach.
We'd choose Pocket for its versatility: it's the rare Bondi spot you can drop into for a morning flat white, a casual lunch, or a buzzy dinner-and-drinks without changing venues. The kitchen leans Modern Australian with crowd-pleasing plates and a proper cocktail list, and there's a genuine local-hangout energy rather than a tourist-trap feel. Midweek deals like Wednesday burger night and Tuesday steak night make it easy on the wallet for what's a prime beachfront position.
The PKT cheeseburger is the signature (especially on Wednesday burger night); other regulars point to the raw kingfish, beef tartare, chimichurri sirloin and the miso-glazed eggplant, with a Sunday roast and tiramisu rounding out the menu. Groups of eight-plus can opt for the shared set menu.
Buzzy, friendly and compact — lively and social, especially at sunset and on deal nights.
Local tip: Come for the early shift — coffee and breakfast from 6am is a calmer, sunnier way to enjoy the beachfront position before the evening crowd fills the small room.
Worth knowing: The space is small, so it gets noisy and tight during peak evening service — not the pick for a quiet, intimate dinner.
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 Spotted something out of date?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.
