Bungalow 8 is back at King Street Wharf with a chic tropical revamp, perfect for sipping cocktails and enjoying live music by the Darling Harbour waterfront.
Ever party at Bungalow 8 back in the day? Perched on King Street Wharf in Darling Harbour, Bungalow 8 was the go-to spot for good times when it opened back in 2003. Fast forward 21 years, and this iconic waterfront venue has undergone a dazzling $3 million facelift while still staying true to its tropical party roots.
Bungalow 8 now offers a refreshed, sprawling two-level experience that’s perfect for sun-drenched afternoons on the wharf or star-studded nights out. The venue has introduced new spaces throughout, including a revamped bar area, lounge, and expanded dining zones. Reserve a cabana in the front courtyard, or head upstairs to the cocktail bar and balcony for sweeping views of Darling Harbour.
Bungalow 8’s ground floor and courtyard are dressed in stylish new furnishings and lush plants. In the courtyard, chic cabanas with comfortable banquette seating await, topped with a coastal-inspired retractable canopy for those laid-back summer nights.
When the sun goes down, Bungalow 8 cranks up the energy, turning into a party hotspot every Friday and Saturday with live DJs and musicians playing late into the night. With custom DJ booths, curated lighting, and state-of-the-art AV, King Street Wharf’s beloved venue has transformed into the ultimate weekend party destination, showcasing top local talent across its two levels. For those looking for a different kind of vibe, Sunday Sessions offer high-energy DJ sets paired with a live saxophonist from 2pm.
Upstairs, the reimagined cocktail bar and balcony have set the stage for stylish gatherings. The space’s sultry vibe is enhanced by custom botanical wallpaper, lush green flooring, and contemporary seating, with sleek LED lighting lending a modern edge.
Bungalow 8’s all-new all-day menu, created by Executive Chef Jason Roberson, features crowd-pleasers like burgers, sandwiches, and salads. Try the Thai Chilli Chicken Wings with lime crème fraiche, or share a charcuterie board filled with top-notch meats from local LP’s Quality Meats. And don’t miss the signature Bungalow Club Sandwich with grilled chicken, streaky bacon, Swiss cheese, and truffle mayo on focaccia, served with fries.
The drinks lineup? Equally impressive. Featuring an array of local and international wines by the glass and bottle, it’s topped off with a cocktail menu blending fresh new sips with some cheeky Bungalow 8 originals. Sip on a Lamington Negroni (coconut-infused rum, Campari, Punt e Mes, and cacao), or go for Sandy’s Big Night Out on King Street Wharf (citron vodka, cream of coconut, pineapple, lemon, and mint). Want a kick? The Picante de la Casa (blue agave tequila, lime, agave, coriander, and green tobacco) is a must-try.
From relaxed afternoons to lively nights, the new Bungalow 8 is ready to bring the party to the waterfront once again, welcoming Sydney’s social set to a fresh, vibrant space where the good times are just getting started. Find out more here.
