Club / Hotel in Bondi Beach
The rebuilt club bistro inside Bondi Icebergs, serving honest, seasonal Modern-Australian bistro food across two bars with a full-length view over the famous ocean pool and North Bondi headland.
Formerly Icebergs Club Bistro.
This is the accessible, everyone-welcome counterpart to the fine-dining Icebergs Dining Room upstairs, and after a 2025 renovation it delivers arguably the best value view in Bondi. You get the iconic clifftop pool-and-headland outlook without the white-tablecloth price tag, in a room built for casual lunches, family dinners and post-swim beers. We'd choose it when we want the Icebergs vista but are dressed straight off the sand.
Our pick is the Bergs' famous battered fish (south-coast bream, house chips, remoulade); otherwise lean into the seasonal bistro staples and pull up at one of the two bars for a drink with the view.
Bright, renovated, casual and lively - a proper members-club bistro perched over the ocean pool.
Local tip: Sign in as a guest at reception (bring photo ID) and grab a window or terrace-side table at golden hour - the light coming off the pool and headland is the whole reason to come.
Worth knowing: It is a licensed club, so expect ID sign-in, a pokies-and-bar backdrop and food that is dependable bistro fare rather than destination cooking - for that, book the Dining Room upstairs.
We confirm each venue is currently trading; hours, prices and menus still change, so check the venue's own site for those before you go.
