If you haven’t been to a bottomless brunch in Sydney, you are in for a real treat! More and more restaurants are popping up with bottomless brunch offerings which typically include some share plates and bottomless drinks packages for 1.5 to 2 hours.
‘Bottomless’ usually only refers to the drinks, rather than unlimited food too, but some places do offer all-you-can-eat food to help line the stomach too! Don’t be put off by the ‘brunch’ part – most of these brunches can take place any time between 11am and 4pm and some venues also offer evening bottomless packages.
Given drinks can be pretty expensive, organising a bottomless brunch in Sydney is a great way to keep costs down for a fun afternoon of day drinking! Just make sure to clear your evening schedule for afterwards, as you may not be totally functioning after trying to get your money’s worth on the drinks!
Bottomless brunch tips
If you’ve not invested in the popular bottomless brunch in Sydney yet, here are some tips you need to know before you go. You will find some venues are more generous with their offerings than others .
Some venues will offer unlimited cocktails, whilst some will just include house wine or beer.
Similarly, some restaurants will give you bottles of wine or bottomless bubbles for you to self-pour, whereas others will be strict on waiting for you to finish your first drink before they let you order the next so it’s always good to check with someone who has been before depending on what kind of day you are after.
We have put together a list of some of the best bottomless brunches for you to try in and around Sydney for all budgets and occasions.
1. Sip Bottomless Rosé in the Secret Garden at Bondi Hardware, Bondi
Tucked away at the back of Bondi Hardware is a Secret Garden which offers exclusive hire for groups. You can plug in your own music to their speaker and have free reign of the garden for your bottomless lunch. You’ll only be disturbed for a drink top-up (typically served as jugs of rosé sangria or bottles of rosé) or delivery of the delicious share plates! Make sure you check out our Best Bondi Restaurants Guide to help you discover some new places to eat!

Drinks: Bottomless rosé or Rosé sangria

2. Frosé your way at Untied, Barangaroo
Untied’s ‘Brunch with Soul‘ is easily one of my favourite bottomless brunches in Sydney. Located in the chic Barangaroo, Untied is an outdoor rooftop bar in Sydney, making it a great spot for a summer bottomless brunch.
You wont be disappointed by the self-service frosé bar (think boozy slush puppy!), with several different flavours and toppings to choose from including gummy bears and berries! However, the highlight of the afternoon is the live singers who weave between the tables with dancing very much encouraged.
Food: Sharing plates including pitta and hummus, shitake mushrooms and southern fried chicken
Drinks: Bottomless cocktails (incl. aperol and mimosas), beer, wine and frosé
Cost: $79 per person for two hours

Dubbed ‘Sydney’s Prettiest Restaurant’, you can seriously up your Instagram game at The Botanica in Vaucluse, this new exclusive bottomless brunch spot in Vaucluse. The Botanica’s philosophy centres around local growers and farmers, offering ethically sourced farm-to-table dishes.

It’s no surprise that Bondi’s first and only distillery, Bondi Liquor Co, serves up some of the best cocktails in Sydney but their food is also delicious. Run by three mates, this is a lovely little spot set back away from the chaos of the beach but with open frontage to enjoy the afternoon sun and bottomless mimosas! The gin making masterclasses and ‘Gin and Comic’ comedy nights are also not to be missed.

Available every day of the week at various locations across Sydney, Fratelli Fresh’s ‘Festa Italiana’ is definitely one of the best value for money options with Aperol Spritz and Espresso Martinis included in the standard bottomless package.

Renowned for its excellent Taco Tuesday, the best Mexican restaurant in Bondi is called Carbón which serves unlimited tacos, bottomless margaritas and bottomless rosé, every weekend. With the world record number of tacos eaten in less than 10 minutes sitting at 82 tacos, this seems extremely good value for money…
Food: Unlimited tacos

8. Indulge in Middle Eastern Cuisine at Nour, Surry Hills
Nour in Surry Hills is a little more fancy than your traditional bottomless brunch in Sydney, attracting a more sophisticated clientele.
We found the drinks service to be a little slow compared to other bottomless brunches, only managing to drink around three cocktails in the 1.5 hours but the food was absolutely delicious and more than compensated for the drinks. Next time, I would probably just buy a bottle of wine rather than choosing a bottomless package.
Food: Set brunch menu of Lebanese share plates, Banquet Menu or Signature Banquet Menu
Drinks: Bottomless margaritas, rosé and beer
Cost: Banquet Menu ($89pp) or Signature Menu ($119pp) + $39pp for rosé and beer or $54pp for cocktails including espresso martinis and aperol spritz (1.5 hour package)

Located right on the front of Bondi Beach, Salty’s Surf Bar in Bondi is the perfect spot for a fun afternoon after a day on the beach. You’ll be greeted with a Classic Margarita on arrival after which the drinks and the food keep flowing.
You can take your pick of tap beers, wine and even seltzers along with nine (yes – nine!) courses of delicious sharing plates to help line the stomach.
Salty’s often have live music to get the evening started, including their resident saxophonist which will get everyone on the dance floor so you can stay here all evening if you want to or head to Hotel Ravesis next door to carry on the party.
