I find the crowd here largely pretentious so it's not my favourite bar in Sydney, but it has beautiful water views, has lots of seating and two levels. Standard Sydney drink prices and the food is a little pricey.
$10 steak which was surprisingly decent, had that on one of the specials night
as a club i found it quite annoying having to wait in line to get up the stairs to be honest
great place to have drinks at night and most of my friends do that. I also love all the sandwiches that they do especially the steak sandwich. The location is great right on darling harbour, very nice after a long day at work
Sounds great have heard lots about this place, look forward to going there
I stopped in here for lunch after looking through the Sydney Aquarium and I found it to be great value! They had a deal where you could get a $10 steak Monday-Wednesday so we bought that and it was delicious! Such a great meal for only $10! It's at a great location too overlooking the harbour! The staff were helpful and friendly and the atmosphere of the place was great! I'll definitely be coming back here for lunch next time I'm in the area. I was very impressed!
Food as expected and price but service a little slow though it was busy so lattitude for that. Parma and steak sandwich were tasty but staff could smile more.
Great place to go for work lunches and after-work drinks, I really enjoy coming here. The food is pretty good and reasonably priced. It is popular, so try and make a booking if you go for lunch. Great atmosphere next to the wharf.
Agree about the atmosphere, especially on a Friday night
sounds good, will need to check it out
thanks heaps for the review
Went to lunch today at Cargo bar it was busy so knowing i only have a hour for lunch I ordered a salad in hope that woudlnt take to long to come out and my friend i was with only ordered hot chips. Her chips took about 20mins to arrive and my salad took 45mins to come out by the time it arrived i had to get them to send it back to get put into a takeaway container. For a venue that people pick for lunch you would think they would be petter prepared. The salad was $16.50 but extra $5.00 if you wanted chicken in it. one i got my salad there was only about 5 tiny pieces in it. Complete joke paying over $20 for a salad that took opver 45mins to get
Approximate cost: $20
Hi Michaelaa, clearly a disappointing experience and total waste of money. Thanks for the heads-up! Reeces
Came here with a few friends and it was pretty packed. Definitely on the sleazy end of things (in terms of the crowd) but the music was alright. A few too many men were turned down that night/made themselves known, but it was easy to say no. I'd definitely prefer something more low-key, but it was an ok night.
If you don't like paying up for your drinks, don't come here! The food was great, when the pizza was the same as "the Australian" for those familiar with that pub in the Rocks.
But now it's changed and gone down hill - not to mention a Johhny Walker Black in Plastic Cups, was $13.50 (Circa April 2012)
Sadly Cargo bar gets far too crowded for its own good. The crowd sadly are a bit full of themselves as much as the drink. If you are more interested in seeing yourself and being seen, then having a great drink, this is the place to come. Otherwise, Sydney has better places to be a local at.
Approximate cost: $24
Great location and good venue - typical city inflated pricing and over crowded during any busy time though.
After Randwick Races every pours into the place.
I will go again, but get there before the massive line up appears out the front. Guards can be a bit picky too.
I prefer to go midweek when you can appreciate the view and the chilled out atmosphere rather than when it turns into a packed dancefloor
