Renowned for its incredible, Art Deco-style dining room, home to one of the world’s best steaks, and a hotspot for bougie work lunches (hello, corporate cards), Rockpool Bar & Grill has been a Sydney institution since it was opened in 2009 by Mr Perry. What it hasn’t been known for, though, is being super affordable or accessible – until now. Enter its new supper club in the bar area, open until 1am every night of the week. CBD night owls, giddy up.
The food menu, created by Rockpool executive chef Santiago Aristizabal, is available until midnight. So, if you’re out and about and hungry late at night – and don’t feel like a greasy Maccas sesh – this is the place to be. On the line-up, you’ll find freshly shucked oysters, Wagyu brisket empanadas paired with a bright salsa, seriously cheesy toasties, a cracking burger, and hand-cut chips with a side of brisket gravy, which the Time Out Sydney team polished off.

Of course, you’ll probably need a drink. The classics are all on offer – from Margs to Martinis and Negronis – alongside quality vino and beers.
If you’ve never been to Rockpool before but have always wanted to – or are looking for a sexy spot for an evening date – this is a cracking way to get a taste of the swish experience without the big bill.
