One of the coolest bars in Bondi Beach, Bondi Hardware is the eating and drinking spot you need on your radar. Formerly an actual retail store for DIY enthusiasts, the site had a mammoth makeover in 2011, turning it into the cool plant-covered space we see today.

The Hall Street watering hole is home to some incredible cocktails just waiting to be sampled. Their signature Bondi In Bloom mixes gin, elderflower and egg whites with apricot, orange bitters, lemon and cucumber for a fun and refreshing sip. Similarly, the Bellaza promises something a little zestier with Pimm's, peach and coconut water getting an added kick from citrus and ginger agave. Alongside their quirky concoctions, you'll find a great selection of wines, ciders and craft beers.

Food is a big part of Bondi Hardware, and their menu of sharing plates and classic breakfast fare pulls in diners from across the city. Head over at brunch time for zucchini brekky bowls, house shakshouka and steak sandwiches, or grab the gang and make it an evening session with a table full of global dishes.
