The Bucket List

This lively spot on the Bondi Beach boardwalk is everything the weary traveller needs to kick-start their Sydney adventure. Great drinks and food—including plenty of vegan and gluten-free options courtesy of the health-conscious chef, Tom—in a spot that’s part Mexican fiesta, part beachy backyard, complete with coloured lights and weathered chairs. There’s a real community vibe, and the ‘What’s On’ list reflects that. From Wednesday night jazz sessions to Sunday chill-out tunes with staff dishing out travelling tacos—canapés that waiters walk around with—plus surf films and special events, there’s always something cool happening here.
