Steamers Bar and Grill is situated at 1 Marine Drive, Wollongong, which holds one of the most stunning views over City Beach and Wollongong lighthouse.

in Oct 2022, the restaurant won the “Contemporary Australian Restaurant – Informal” category at the 2022 NSW Australia Restaurant & Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence, their 3rd win in as many years!

Following their 2019 success, in the aforementioned category and subsequent silver at the national awards in the same year,

The menu has been crafted to explore the street food scene from around the world and delivers a collision of small and large plates inspired by these bold and dynamic local flavours.

The restaurant is inspired by the precinct’s food history. When the Illawarra was first settled, fresh produce was transported to Belmore Basin, before being loaded onto steamships bound for Sydney’s growing population. Both the organic and local character of the menu, along with the nautical styling of the décor is a nod to this industrial period, updated with a chic, contemporary twist.

Like our a la carte menu, the wine selection was created with the same passion by their in-house sommelier, with special consideration for organically grown and bio-dynamic options.

Something to celebrate? Steamers bar and grill present the perfect destination for your next special event or dinner celebration. From organising celebration cakes and balloons to their mouth-wateringly generous group share menu and stunning large format dining tables.
