When we were in Sydney in November, Tim spotted a new-to-us bar from the ferry as we were pulling into Circular Quay. It stood out because of the plants thrusting out from the balcony. We decided to check it out.
The bar in question is Hacienda, meaning a large estate or plantation:
The impressive art deco style entrance, set above the boardwalk at Circular Quay, leads into a spacious, airy bar with magnificent views of Sydney Harbour:
The lady in the front left of my photo had an impressive looking drink that I wanted to try. It is a Fresa Spritz ($20), with St Germain liqueur, strawberry syrup, soda water and Prosecco:
It tasted as good as it looks and was very refreshing - perfect for a warm day.
To accompany our drinks, we ordered the trio of dips with tortilla chips ($17):
The dips were beetroot, baba ganoush and hommus. There are some more substantial options available on the menu if you wish to have your main meal at Hacienda
This is just one of the stunning views from Hacienda:
We stayed until after dark when the black velvet of the sky was illuminated by the city lights. It was rather magical, and all of the tourists (including ourselves) took turns photographing each other against the breathtaking backdrop.
Hacienda is the perfect place to have a drink in a stunning atmosphere, and is well worth seeking out.

Hi Johanna, Doyle’s is always worth a trip and has lovely sea views.
Yes, it was marvellous - we’d definitely go back.
