Why it's worth checking out
Cabana Bar is a CBD bar and dining venue at 25 Martin Place, positioned as an alfresco escape among the precinct’s contemporary architecture. Its outdoor terrace is a major part of the experience, with broad views across Martin Place and glimpses of the Sydney skyline. The setting is designed for a drink after work, a relaxed lunch or a pre-theatre meal, with the venue also promoting post-dinner drinks and a stop during a day in the city.
The drinks list leans into holiday-style cocktails alongside a substantial wine selection. Cabana’s signature serves include the Poolside Piña Colada, Mango Daiquiri, Berry Mojito and several margaritas, while larger fishbowls are available for groups wanting a more substantial shared drink. There are also mocktails, sparkling and still wines by the glass or bottle, and a range of Australian and international labels. The venue’s cocktail-led approach makes it a natural choice for after-work catch-ups and social occasions where the drinks are as important as the food.
Food is described as a mix of refined pub fare, classic favourites and shareable poolside-style plates, using Australian seasonal ingredients. The menu includes oysters, cauliflower pakora, spiced sweetcorn ribs, fried squid, guacamole, salads, tacos, burgers and more substantial mains such as fish and chips, chicken schnitzel, pan-seared barramundi and Tajima Wagyu rump. Vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free dishes are identified on the menu, giving groups some flexibility when ordering. The Tequilamisu is a distinctive finish that reflects the bar’s drinks-focused personality. For theatre-goers, the venue specifically offers express pre-theatre dining when requested at the time of booking or on arrival.
Functions are central to Cabana Bar’s identity. The venue promotes five stylish event spaces for corporate or casual gatherings, ranging from more private corners to larger settings, and invites enquiries for celebrations and end-of-year events. The website also outlines an expansion involving larger spaces and rooftop skyline views, with capacity planned for events of up to 1,000 guests. With its Martin Place address, outdoor seating, cocktails, food and event facilities, Cabana Bar suits city workers, theatre visitors, groups and anyone looking for a polished but relaxed place to eat and drink in Sydney CBD.
