MANTA BAR

On a sparkling Sydney day, there's no better place to be than this stylish lounge bar (pictured) on Woolloomooloo's coveted Finger Wharf. Order a Manta Martini (freshly crushed lychees and lemongrass shaken with vodka and apple juice) and take your pick of freshly shucked oysters from the new Oyster and Raw Bar. “Manta Fridays” attract a sophisticated after-work crowd, as well as A-listers spilling over from long lunches at nearby Otto. On weekends, it's the place for well-heeled professionals and the occasional celebrity to drink in the wonderful water and city views and the equally impressive wine list.

Address Woolloomooloo Wharf 6, Cowper Wharf Road.

Open Daily, noon-late.
