Bar Of the Week: Beach Road Hotel & The Valley Bondi

The Beach Road Bondi is a Sydney institution. Thriving in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney is an iconic band room, thriving saloon bar, two restaurants (BL Burgers have taken over the second restaurant), family-friendly beer garden and a newly refurbished cocktail bar, The Valley. The Valley is the home of live music and entertainment in Bondi and is your free weekly music destination.

What’s on the menu?

Have you heard BL Burgers have now taken over the kitchen in The Valley? Open Wednesday – Sunday from 5pm, you can get a delicious burger from their menu and enjoy it with one of our speciality cocktails. Burgers not your thing? Our full menu offers a huge range of food from salads to a hearty steak downstairs, and is open seven days lunch to dinner.

Care for a drink?

There are some great options from our cocktail list but if we had to pick one it would be the BRRP (Beach Road Rum Punch) made with passion fruit, citrus, pineapple, orange and a healthy dose of Pampero Blanco. Summer in a glass (or the reminder of summer) – ’nuff said.

Sounds:

If you’re up for a midweek dance or just want to keep it for the weekend, The Valley Bondi has everything you need. Wednesday night is our weekly party Sosueme, and with a 99 per cent genre-free philosophy, you can catch both international and local talent, bands and DJs alike. Keeping it to the weekend is our Saturday party Yours with all the dance party and hip hop jams you can think of across two rooms. Or if it’s just a few recovery drinks on a Sunday afternoon in the backyard with one of our resident DJs, it’s all on offer – and the best thing is it’s always free!

Highlights:

Bondi’s iconic music venue The Beach Road Bondi and The Valley Bondi is your one-stop shop, covering everything from sports to live music across the seven days a week. Offering constant free live entertainment over our weekly parties and good times, you can find something to suit you each night of the week. Check out The Valley website for all upcoming events.
