Why it's worth checking out
Oyster Bar sits on Kitchener Drive at the Darwin Waterfront, in the heart of the Top End capital. With 678 reviews behind its 4.1 rating, it has built a strong following.
The appeal is drinks and a bite in a brilliant waterfront location — a lovely spot for a cocktail, a drink and a relaxed evening right by the Waterfront precinct, with the lagoon, wave pool and harbour close by. Its position makes it an easy and welcoming destination by the water.
Drinks lists, menus, events and trading hours change over time, and it gets busy in peak periods and at sunset. Check current details directly with the venue, and consider arriving early or booking where possible to be sure of a spot.
