About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Dog-friendly
A boutique bar located in Wentworth Point as part of the Marina Square complex. A large list of great tasting signature and classic cocktails. The Dancing Bear is managed by Kristine Tarabine who has cracked the Top 50 Australian bartenders competing in Diageo's world class competition.

Just a few popular cocktails include the "Smoked Old Fashioned", "Summer Shenanigans" and our best seller the "Yuzu Sour". All with their own quirks and experience.

Bougee bar snacks available: Cheese boards, Cured Meat Plates, Focaccia and Kafta meatballs. All easy to eat and delicious.

As we are so close to Olympic park there is many easy access options. Bus routes, train lines and the ferry at our doorstep.

We focus on great customer service and don't take ourselves to seriously. Every Saturday you can find live music going. The vibe is chill and welcoming to anyone who needs a bevvy. Couples, friends, family, visitors and locals - its a joy to have anyone come into our bar.
