A First Look at Pier One's New Waterfront Bar: The Gantry
Pre-theatre nosh couldn't get more waterfront.
Your summer harbourside dining adventures have just jumped up a notch. Pier One Sydney has officially announced that The Gantry Restaurant and Bar will open in mid-December. And, by way of appetiser, they've released a handful of images, allowing you to take a sneaky peek before the real thing swings into action.
Holding fast to The Rocks' heritage charm, The Gantry simultaneously takes on a modern vibe. Think plenty of wood, including polished floorboards; mellow blues and off-whites; and floor-to-ceiling glass windows, maximising water views. The design references Pier One's original structures, which played an important role in connecting North Sydney with the CBD, way back before the Sydney Harbour Bridge existed.
"The Gantry will be an incomparable indoor and outdoor restaurant and bar," says owner Robert Magid. "It will blend contemporary design with the noble features of its past. As the signature restaurant of Australia’s inaugural Autograph Collection hotel, we look forward to offering guests an unsurpassed dining and drinking experience combined with the finest views Sydney has to offer."
It should be noted, too, that The Gantry is in a brilliant spot for arts lovers, with the Sydney Theatre Company, Bangarra Dance Theatre and Sydney Dance Company just a few hundred metres away.
As far as the menu goes, you can expect fresh, seasonal produce, delivered with a rustic touch and an interactive element. You'll be able watch much of the cooking up close, with a chef's table to be located in the dining room, and the main kitchen to be of the large, open variety. Plus, if you're ordering seafood, you’ll be invited to choose your own dinner at a dedicated bar.
