Tell us about your bar:
The Cliff Dive gives you a sense of nostalgia for a place you’ve never been. We call it Proto Tropo, archetypal islander –somewhere and nowhere.
TCD is a traditional tiki bar, transporting you to the south seas of rum and relaxation. Reminding us we are in fact living in a South Pacific island paradise, it shows off the art of Papua New Guinea and Timor and drinks of tropical Hawaiian resorts.
What’s on the menu?
The Cliff Dive uses our kitchen space as an area for people to explore their creativity through short, pop-up-style ideas. We’ve had yakitori skewers and Mary’s kebabs and we are always looking for new ventures to spend some time feeding our hungry masses.
Care for a drink?
When you visit The Cliff Dive, think rum, rhum and Ron! As the seasons change, so does our drinks menu, but one thing that will always be a crowd favourite is the piña colada. It’s made with Bacardi Superior, coconut rum, fresh pineapple, coconut and lime juice with a pinch of salt, served in a hollowed-out pineapple and capped off with a bamboo straw and the Papua New Guinean flag. Get in quick because there’s only a limited amount available each night!
Sounds?
The music changes from hip hop and R&B to soul to Afrobeat and dancehall to classic party bangers. It is warm and tropical and as the night gets later, the music gets louder and the underwater dancefloor really gets a steamy workout. Hosting some of the best club nights in Sydney, we have a dedicated following that returns week after week for a vibe that can’t be found anywhere else in Sydney.
Highlights:
The Cliff Dive is a one-of-a-kind tropical oasis in the heart of this beautiful city. You’ll be greeted by friendly faces from the moment you get to our front door, which is decorated with a giant pineapple! Lose your inhibitions, get onto the sunken dancefloor and shake it underwater till it’s time to go home. Make sure you get a photo with our giant totem, Big Gusti, on your way in!
The bill comes to:
To try our famous piña colada you’re looking at $21 (totally worth it). We have beers from $7, spirits from $9 and cocktails from $10.
