Description

Specialties

In late November, 2011, the new look Bondi Beach Hardware was revealed. What was once a place for local tradesman and DIY enthusiasts, the site underwent a complete transformation, reopening it’s doors as a vibrant and welcoming bar & restaurant.

Our menu is designed with the ‘global share-​style’ ethos in mind, and includes dishes such as our famous Sliders (mini burgers) or quirky pancakes, our speciality dishes such as Albacore tuna ceviche or a winter warmer of Lamb ragout with polenta chips. The culinary delights, cleverly constructed by our Head Chef, Elliot Anders, are ideal for group dining.

Not to be outdone by the food, the bar list will ensure you won’t go thirsty. The wine list includes a mix of classic and modern varietals from AUS and NZ regions along with reputable and more obscure grapes and blends from across the globe. Our cocktail list, put together by owner Hamish Watts, has been extremely well received for its simplicity and thoughtful design. The list features classic martini’s and signature blends such as the Elderflower & Lychee Martini.

History

Established in 2011.

Bondi Hardware was the first venue to be opened by Applejack Hospitality duo Ben Carroll and Hamish Watts. Since then, they have also opened The Botanist in Kirribilli, SoCal in Neutral Bay and The Butler in Potts Point.

Amazing dinner. «Small» plates that are huge. Chicken wings and lava cake to die for. Beef brisket amazing and tender. Wow.

I’ve been to Bondi Hardware for dinner a couple of times, I’ve been there for brunch once, it is a solid all-​rounder and in my opinion, the best choice on Hall St.
I mean look at that granola, if that granola was a Jedi he would probably be Master Windu. Yep, that good: coconut and strawberries with a house-​made crunchy, not over toasted or over sweetened granola.
The idea to share sides is not a revolution but it is presented in simple metal cups and you get to build your plates the way you like it.
Tetris is fun, Tetris with bacon is *nowordsrightnowletmebacon*.
Quantity will not be an issue, it is in the usual price range of a big breakfast with four sides — 20 $.
The only downer was the coffee with was hit and the correct order but average in taste I thought. And the lack of DFFed (duck fat fried) fries *_​*
That’s all folks!

Came here for lunch after running from Coogee to Bondi. Lots of dishes to choose from on the menu. Funky café with many cool drinks.
Ordered a few different dishes to share so we can try everything. Must order the Honey Sriracha chicken wings!!! Yes I know the guilt kicks in after a good run and you’re eating it. But trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
For the sliders, I prefer the spiced chicken and pork belly. The beef one was a bit bland.
Order a salad on the side and a jug of mojito = pretty good weekend lunch!

You know that worst part about breakfast, right? When you can’t decide which side you want with your eggs on toast: bacon, mushrooms, bacon, avo, bacon, feta, sweet potato hash, bacon… lucky for you these guys at Bondi Hardware have nailed it with their build your own brekky. Oh and they also have sliders on the menu. Sliders! For breakfast! Now I’ve seen everything. But seriously. This place is great, tasty and smack bang it the heart of Bondi. Go there.

Great place to go for drink and feed. Been on many occasions since they opened. Favourite dish is Lamb salad. Great atmosphere staff always friendly. Wouldn’t recommend if your not a music fan as they do turn it up as the day goes on.

This place has build a rep among the many thriving eateries along Hall Street. I was expecting something outrageously amazing. I decided to try Brunch.
The décor of the restaurant is very rustic and definitely fits into the whole Bondi Beach Scene. The roof and lighting was very easy on the eye and whole place was very inviting.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and took our orders quickly and brought water to the table as often as we needed (was a hot day and we just finished a log run).
The drinks were brought out very quickly. Surprised they didn’t offer smoothies or shakes. The whole health options would go down a treat based on the young and modern customers the place attracts.
I ordered a Steak sandwich and my friend ordered scrambled eggs and Smoked Salmon. The food took a little longer then it should have I would say. The place wasn’t exactly busy. My food came out a couple of minutes before my friend and I felt it mannerly to wait for him considering that it was only the two of us. This seems be a common occurrence cause the table next to us the same happened .
When we digged into the food. I was exceptionally happy with the steak. The steak was very tender and cooked to perfection and the sandwich came with a fried egg and green salad and a beautiful jam on the side .
Overall was pleased with Bondi Hardware and would be willing to try either the lunch or dinner menu.

This place is not a hardware store! That being said, go here! Was greeted by a great staff that worked together as well as recommend some of their favorite dishes. Started off with the garlic prawns which was my favorite. Just full flavor and the chorizo was great. Next was the pork belly, this was my first time trying it but it wasn’t bad. My friend really enjoyed it. Our final dish was the filet in a verde salsa which was very good, I think the sauce is what made it for me. I would come back here

I love the atmosphere of this place and the staff are really hospitable. My cocktail was good, though the maple flavor was almost
nonexistent, my gf’s cocktail was amazing though. We tried the sweet potato fries with sumac and tahini dressing, the pork belly sliders, and the mac and cheese croquettes with truffled ranch. The ranch didn’t taste truffled at all which is surprising bc of how strong truffles are, but the croquettes were great.

Their calamari and pork belly is seriously yummy. Overall the food here is very good and they make a killer Bloody Mary. The perfect ratio of all ingredients. The only negative about the restaurant is that the service is slow. It took far too long for my friend and I to get our food and drinks. The service, while slow is still super friendly and accommodating. I think the kitchen needs to just get orders to the patrons in a timely manor. Definitely order the pork belly when you eat here. Its the best I have had in Sydney.

The artichoke dip with sourdough toast is delicious. The only issue is the ratio of dip to toast you get — definitely not enough toast. We offset this by dipping our chips into the rest of it. Someone in our group also ordered the prawns and liked them. Our waitress was friendly and helpful, and the service only slowed down towards the end.

First off, the venue is beautifully laid out, and the food is quite good, but… Service is seriously lacking.
I don’t know who owns or manages this place, but they need to get the finger out and train their staff in the basics of satisfying the customer.
1. When you’re told you’ve a 15mim wait for a table, but kept waiting for 1hr 15, that’s very sloppy
2. When 5 people order dinner, but only 4 come out… and you don’t realise it for 15 mins? That’s also incredibly sloppy.
3. So when the guy who’s dinner has gone missing orders another beer to pass the time waiting… and you forget that too??! That’s just beyond sloppy, it’s crap service.
4. And if, after all these c**k ups, there’s not even a hint of an acknowledgement or apology or attempt to make up for the mistakes (even a free coffee would be helped), that’s just sad.
So in a nutshell, we won’t be back. And of you’re hungry & thirsty, I’d highly question going there too. Poor training & management of the floor staff; it all smacks of complacency by the owners.
(FYI, here are the food reviews. BBBQ Chocken Pizza 4⁄5. Pepperoni Pizza 2⁄5. Prawns 5⁄5. Beef Sliders 2⁄5. Pork
Sliders 4⁄5.
Wine menu 4⁄5. Beer menu 1⁄5 — only 1 beer on tap?! Not good enough).

Don’t think they do their alcoholic Elderflower icy pops any more (shaaad faaashe) but hells, it’s still such a great bar.
Killer drinks — double-​shot, unsalted Tommy’s margarita anyone? — killer service, and no serial killers that I know of to worry about = one of my Bondi go-​to bars.
I only seem to drink here but the smells wafting out oft he kitchen (that char-​grilled meat, yyyyyyyeah boy) means that will probably change pretty quickly.

I went to Bondi Hardware on a Monday night for pre-​dinner drinks. There was only a handful of people there when I arrived at 6pm but was bustling when I left about 8pm, a good sign on a traditionally quiet night.
The staff are really attentive and the manager even opened the door for us as we left which was a nice friendly touch.
Try their punch which is a mix of white rum, Frangelico, Cointreau, lime and ginger beer. It’s $ 35 and makes about 6 drinks which is good value in my books.
The ambience is nice, with dark wood, leafy greens scattered around and candles in the evening.

Aside from the fact that I’m a Bondi local and really appreciated having a (real) hardware store in my neighbourhood, I really love this place. How could I not love a place that has ‘Notorious P.I.G.’ on the menu?!
Food is delicious (albeit without many vegetarian options… and no fear of calories), the Bloody Mary’s have kick and the staff are not just sweet and helpful… but genuinely sweet and helpful!
Really what won me over (along with P.I.G.G.Y) was the atmosphere. I find the similar décor at the Winery and Gazebo a bit too forced… at Bondi Hardware, it all seems to work and make for a great cool-​but-​comfortable day/​night in my favourite suburb.

I’d initially thought Bondi Hardware was a solid 3-​star experience. High quality bar food (those. sliders.) a tasty range of cocktails, a busy, buzzing Bondi atmosphere, and a rad adaptation of a hardware store-​gone-​alcoholic all leaned toward the high end of 3-​stars. So I stuck with that belief on my first, second, third, and fourth visit. And then visit number five came along. Once I realised that it had gone from a «nice to visit when friends suggest it» bar to a venue I would prioritize for each and every guets that came to visit, I knew it had tipped into the 4-​star category.
So what did it for me? Well, not their beer selection, that’s for sure. (Although they do have a much better selection of local wines.) Perhaps it’s their wonderful (and painfully fashionable) staff that always seem to be friendly and relaxed regardless of the flashes of chemical mayhem of sexy people picking up on one another all around them. Or maybe it’s the really lovely designed interiors. The bathrooms are a particular fave of mine.
All I can say is that while it didn’t grab me at first, each time I left wanting more. Somewhere along the way it captured my inner lumberjack and has yet to let go.

Yumm!
After a grueling 19 hours of travel from Las Vegas — Sydney I was elated to be in Bondi Beach, sit on a sticky bar stool and obtain food coma status from delicious Australian beer and artisan style pizzas.
Bondi Hardware actually stopped serving food at around 10pm, but pizza was still available. It was a crowded, loud and fun atmosphere. The next time I am in Sydney I want to go back to try their regular menu. It looked delicious.
I will upload a pic of the pizza and beers :)

These guys got it right! For a fairly new restaurant/​bar in Bondi, the guys at Bondi Hardware are doing well and going strong. The service is crazy friendly and the food is surprisingly good. Décor is very dark, cozy with exposed brick. I’ve been a few times and look forward to returning.

It’s usually a bit of a wait to get a table at this place but go have a drink down the street and wait for the call, it’s definitely worth it! The fried pickles are my favorite! But the salt and pepper squid, garlic prawns, pizzas and cocktails are all awesome too! The prices are reasonable considering the location, and what they could be charging but still be prepared to spend $ 80-​$ 100 for 2 people if you get some cocktails. They are all share plates which is alright because you get to try a few different things. The staff has always been extremely accommodating so check out the hardware if you’re in the area!
