    Love this place. It’s perfect for that pre-theatre lunch with a wonderful harbour view, great staff and fabulous food. Relaxing place to be.

    We, a party of four, use the Theatre Bar at the End of the Wharf, regularly for pre-theatre dining and it never disappoints. The menu and the wine list are broad enough to provide variety without being overwhelming and are reasonably priced. The quality of the food is excellent and the staff are outstanding - always pleasant and helpful. Wouldn’t eat anywhere else.

    We were a party of 5 having pre dinner drinks and nibbles. The view is amazing and the ambience lovely. The fries and the olives were lovely. Staff were delightful and very helpful.

    Been coming here for around 15 years for pre theatre dinner. Love the venue, but the menu is very limited, rarely changes and isn’t that great. We more often use other Walsh Bay options but keep coming back, hoping it might have improved. It hasn’t. Fabulous place for a drink, but not food.

    Convenient when we go to the theatre but the quality of the food is poor (and expensive), some dishes almost inedible, pity, the place would be great otherwise, the view is fantastic

    Go to the bar at the end of the wharf if you’re looking for a spectacular view. Lunch menu was very limited, but more choice if you go after 3 o’clock. They could improve by going back to waitress service. I think it would feel nicer if you didn’t have to queue to put in your order. Will be going back soon to show visitors the view.

    This is very convenient when attending the theatre The lunch menu is not very interesting Not expensive We were 4 diners we all went to the bar and ordered at the same time , so that our food would all arrive at once . There was a panini , arrived first it was burned and had to be sent back, then come about 5 minutes later one of the fish and chips . Another 5 minutes and the second fish and chips arrives with very burned chips . The panini was then returned . So we now had 3 of the 4 meals it took another 10 minutes for pasta to arrive , it was not hot and pretty tasteless Very disappointing
