About The Oriana

The Oriana takes up four levels at the northern end of the Overseas Passenger Terminal on Circular Quay West, with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge both in view. The ground floor is a harbourside beer garden, Level One is a pub with covered and open decks, Level Two is a restaurant and Level Three is a dedicated events floor. Circular Quay station, the light rail and the ferry wharves are a short walk away, and a lift serves every level. The Harbour Room on Level Three is the main function room: it opens onto private terraces, has an open kitchen and bar, and holds 175 standing or 100 seated. Beside it, the glass-walled Sky Tower suits 50 for cocktails. On Level Two the Restaurant can be booked as a section or exclusively for 150, with a 30-seat tower corner for smaller dinners. Level One offers the Tower Room (60 standing), the covered Harbour Deck (80), the Bridge View Deck facing Campbells Cove (85, set up for music and simple AV) and the Pub itself for up to 500. Downstairs, beer garden sections take 60 to 80, the ground floor alone takes 600, and the ground floor and pub together take 1,000. Canapé packages cost $50, $61 or $76 per person for six, eight or ten pieces, with a minimum of 20 guests, and grazing stations such as cold seafood, tacos or cheese and charcuterie can be added for groups of 30 or more. Seated options include a two-course pub banquet at $79 per person, restaurant set menus from $149 and a three-course alternate drop at $120 in the Harbour Room. Drinks packages start at $53 per person for two hours, or a bar tab can be set up instead. Hire fees may apply to some spaces.
