Great food , service is a lil slow as there's only one guy taking order and making drinks and there's 1 lady delivering food to the table
Food is great! Self service is fine. Ambiance is better but weekends too much customers. You will be having a hard time getting a chair to sit in.
You can’t really go wrong with an afternoon spent eating and drinking with views of Bondi beach. Bucketlist has lots of food and cocktail options so theres definitely a little something for everyone. Nice and busy because its smack bang in the middle of all the Bondi beach goodness.
Service was alright, cocktails were absolutely lovely. The view made it a great place to set up camp for a while. The outside could do with some heaters for the chillier months as we had to migrate inside which was only marginally warmer.
Order at the bar and get a number service. The food and beverages came out surprisingly fast. The service at the bar was very friendly and helpfull. Outside was a bit different as we werent given cutlery with our food even tho all the other tables around us were. When i ended up getting the cutlery myself the birds almost got a dig at my food, luckily my wife was sitting there to wave em away. With that in mind the birds didnt effect the rating as there isnt much that they can do about it. A good 4* we will return next time that we are in Bondi as the food was very good and easy.
This place never fails me for quality of food, views (of Bondi beach) and ambiance. It's arguably the best placed restaurant/bar placed at Bondi Beach. Awesome place to chill with your mates and enjoy a beer with food by the water on a warm day. My friend got the miso sesame tuna poke bowl ($30) and I got the buttermilk boneless fried chicken ($22). The flavours in the fried chicken were amazing - full of spices. Friendly staff. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.
Great place to meet friends and have drinks. Sunday in summer seem to be VERY popular so be sure to get there early to get a seat as it gets chaotic. the food was better than expected for a drinks/club sort of space .all in all i really enjoyed my experience there and the staff were super friendly too.
A great way to enjoy Bondi Beach and the Pavillon, especially on a warm afternoon. Great vibes, music and hospitality paired with awesome bar food and drinks. Looking forward to the next Sydney trip!
Great relaxing vibe with delicious food, stunning views being right on Bondi beach and an excellent drinks list. We definitely will return. I had the sashimi of tuna (so fresh) and the fish taco (yummmo). Hubs had the beef burger and loved it

Positioned on the foreshore of this legendary stretch of sand, there’s no better place for some Bondi people-watching, sun-soaking and day-drinking than The Bucket List. There’s also a pretty decent food menu of tacos, burgers and salads that will help soak up the booze. Sitting back on a deck chair in the outside courtyard, sipping on a passionfruit mojito and listening to the DJ spin the decks, you’ll understand why this drinking spot is a favourite for Bondiians.
Beautiful view right on the bond beach. Nice place to have a couple of tap beers with friends or overseas visitors. Like the bucket of prawns always fresh and sweet. The king salmon bowel is my favorite.
The Bucket List Bondi is located right on Bondi Beach, offering dog friendly dining with a view. Stop in for a drink, a light snack or complete meal with your fur baby.  As far as location goes, The Bucket List Bondi has you covered. Situated in the Bondi Pavilion overlooking iconic Bondi Beach. The Bucket List is aptly named, Bondi Beach is on most tourists’ bucket list when they visit Sydney.
The Bucket List. Obviously the location is perfect, but the food, atmosphere and service are pretty great too! A good selection of craft beer compliments the fare..
Read a lot of reviews before I went last night with 3 others. I must say I was dreading eating there judging on the majority of reviews I read. Well,I was very pleasantly surprised.
Our food was delicious! I had roasted spiced cauliflower salad with grilled chicken. It was good . Very flavoursome and plentiful. Two others had lamb shanks which I tasted, and was very good. Had a bit of menu envy. They both loved them. The fourth person had a chickpea/kale salad which was enormous! She said it was ok, but didn't rave like the rest of us.
Cocktails couldn't have been too bad because we all had 4 each!!
I could not complain about the service; everyone was friendly and service was pretty prompt. Saying that, I think we were there early-ish in the evening.
Anyway, I would go again, must be great in the daytime with that view!!
View was amazing.
Food served quickly despite being very busy
Food was a little average for the price considering the avocado was from a tube.
Staff was nice.
Cocktails were a 10/10.
Sweet potato wedges were amazing! Must try.
Great spot to eat and drink with friends. I went on a Saturday afternoon, it was busy and the music coming from the Bondi Radio station inside was perfect, funky house music, great on a sunny afternoon. They made the Poke Bowl vegetarian for me and it was delicious and fresh, washed down with an icy frose. Perfect place if you like your dining experience casual and lively!
This is a great spot on the beach at Bondi - the service and cocktails were super... the food was average at best... if you want a drink then for sure call in - if a meal better to be had... staff super
Great food. The falafel salad was sensational and the peas/mint/feta dish was out of this world.
The view was great, the service was good.
Will defiantly return
Fantastic ambience just outside the beach.
Perfect place to chill out.
Very friendly crew!!
They have both indoor and outdoor seating options and the breeze naturally ventilates the place.
Must visit if in this part of the town.
Ciao!! 🍷🍷
Came here last saturday, pretty crowded but the vibe is great. Good music and it's not too loud. Great choices of beers, and the sweet potato wedges is out of this world! Too good!
Best fish and chips I've had my entire time in Australia although the price tag on it is heavy! Might not jump at another opportunity to pay this amount again but it is definitely worth to go once cause it is delicious.
I don't think there would be a more perfect location to enjoy the spectacle and procession of the City2Surf than the Bucket List. With an outdoor corner position, Bondi Beach serves as a stunning backdrop to a casual day of drinks and Aussie fare.
Service was distinctly attentive; no empty glass or dirty plate sat on the table for more than a couple of minutes before being cleared by one of the waitresses.
Fantastic experience right in the middle of this iconic beach. Service and food were top notch. The ambience was fantastic with a diverse mix of people, music and culture. Highly recommend it.
Had the calamari and octopus both really spot on, calamari was tender, octopus was so tasy in the tomatoe dish. calamari could use a little side of salad or something but non the less was pretty good for $45
Lex and I had been to The Bucket List on the famous Bondi Beach before. It’s a cool, vibrant place with outdoor seating right on the beach! You can get tacos, burgers, seafood and some great cocktails. We were lucky enough to get a spot outside on the benches under a shady umbrella. I say lucky because it was a really busy day in Bondi and so many times you walk past The Bucket List and find it bursting with people. Although there weren’t any today, there are often live bands performing some laid back tunes while you sip cocktails, eat some food and people watch. It really is an amazing place and like Lex and I said today, it’s all about location, location, location.

Can't beat that view. Came down here for a Sunday sesh and the place was pumping. No better place to be than on are bar on the beach in Bondi when it's sunny. A little bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.
Great place for an afternoon drink. The location is amazing and the atmosphere is young, fun and full of energy. I ordered the passionfruit mojito, which was absolutely delicious, and the fish tacos, which were full of flavour but overpriced.
Wow this place has got so expensive for what it is!! But it's a great place to hang for an arvo with friends and family. They've taken tired old Nicks seafood and showed how to do a venue Bondi style!! Smart crew behind this place. Check it out if you haven't been. Casual is the way to approach this place. Call it's Bondi's version of the Boat house.
A Sydney institution! The atmosphere and location makes this restaurant a must visit for tourists and residents a like. Situated in the heart of the Bondi promenade just metres from stepping on the sand, The Bucket List exemplifies everything about Australian culture. The food is a little pricey, but not unexpected on Bondi waterfront but even just stopping in for a drink is a must for all Bondi-goers. The Bucket List boasts an enticing cocktail list, with the Find Liquid Gold being my personal favourite.
Fun place on the beach to have some drinks with friends, although it gets absolutely packed during the day. Â During the winter if closes quite early, even on the weekends. Â I think they had us out of there around 9:15 on a Saturday night which is always surprising for a place that serves alcohol.
Really cool place right on the beach. Loved the chill vibe it has! Great for a relaxing lunch or dinner with friends, or just for a drink with a good view!
Chilled out venue right on the beach. Average food, fabulous cocktails and a great vibe. Fast service and good looking staff! Well priced for the location.
Good for groups. Perfect for post beach beers, VERY BUSY but good sorts everywhere. Beers  overpriced but you won't even notice . Best bar in Bondi.
Food is great and fresh, portions are good and the variety of food is amazing. From tacos to steak with baked potatoe - there is something for everyone.Â
Their new winter menu is warm and tasty, the pot pie and the ragu pappardelle are a must try.Â
Fireplace going throughout winter makes the venue warm while still being able to enjoy that million dollar view.
City Experts is a great club to be part of. Each month, google reviewers who review over 50 reviews and 5 each month are considered City Experts and are invited to an exclusive event.  The November City Expert event was held at the Bucket List in Bondi. This event was fantastic with google having a mechanical surf board, a make your own gelato messina stand and make your own dukka stand!  Naturally, there were drinks and delicious food by the Bucket List as well. The Bucket List was the perfect venue for the City Expert Event. Good food amongst the very beautiful scenic background. Given the Bucket List were catering for hundreds of people, I was very impressed. The Sliders were perfection. I quite enjoyed the beef sliders and on their normal menu, you can get 3 for $20 which I think is a bit pricey but consistent with the location. They also had buckets of fish and chips which were also very delicious and are normally $27 which was very pricey for the portions. What a view though (below); I can just imagine tourists who imagine coming to the stereotypical Australian beach who will not be disappointed with this view at the Bucket List. Gelato Messina always delivers... I had to share my photo below of Vanilla and Raspberry Gelato, tim tam and brownie (below). Yum! I love City Expert Events and this one was very well organised. I had a great time! Please note: I am a City Expert and attended this event.
Given its relaxed vibe, and the fun factor that you can order a bucket of chips and a bucket of beer at the same time, this pop-up bar is a great summer hangout down the beach. And if they ever start offering buckets of cocktails I'd be back there in a jiffy
The hot new pop up bar that’s quintessentially Bondi…a Hamptons-style combination of funky beats, casual cool and breezy outdoor setting...
A must in Sydney is taking a stroll in the coastal walk, in my case I did it from Bronte to Bondi beach, nice exercise, lovely sunny day, and pretty relax Sunday. As soon as we got to Bondi a beer was necessary, you know for hydration purposes, so we ended having beers in The Bucket List , a bar eatery just a few metres from the beach, open every day, with a nice terrace and enticing menu.

Summer, and in Sydney that shouts: Bondi Beach. The Bucket List in the Bondi Pavilion provides a view of beach activities without having to get that pesky sand between your toes. French bartender Tanguy confided that beer is most popular with Aussies. On tap there’s One Fifty Lashes Pale Ale, Kosciuszko Pale Ale, Heineken, Sundown Lager ($7.80 a schooner) and Hahn Super Dry ($6.80.) The Bucket List however is more famous for its jugs (no, not the type in bikinis) but those bearing Pimms No. 1 or sangria.
Came here with my mate and I had the calamari, prawns and the chips. All three were cooked brilliantly. The view of the beach is beautiful. The service is good too. The place has a great vibe.
I had my birthday at the bucket list last weekend and it was fantastic. The staff were really helpful, they looked after us all day and made sure I had a great time. We shared food off the platter menu, it was delicious and worked out to be great value. I'll happily back soon.
Beyond polite. We only go to the Bucket list occasionally. Every time we go I expect the pretentious attitudes that are the standard in all the current trendy hot spots. But somehow Bucket List has managed to retain the most polite and friendly staff of any bar/restaurant I've been too. When there's a line outside the security staff are so apologetic that feel like they feel personally bad about it.
In the bar areas you need to be seated, part of their license I beliece and instead of staff threatening you if you don't sit down, they apologise profusely and ask you if you wouldn't mind helping them follow licensing rules and sit down. Even when a drunken girlfriend found her way onto a table to dance, which was entirely not ok for the staff, they were so nice about getting her down, the opposite of the normal reaction from staff in other establishments.
Obviously you're paying for the location and the vibe, but the staff make it an absolute pleasure. Highly recommended.
Pricey but it is by the beach!. Pricey and small portions. The prawn cocktail salad was the smallest salad I'd seen served as a main size. Difficult to eat in the small bowl it was served in. The calamari was tasty as was the pan fried fish. The outdoor seating at the back is a great area.
Average. Food is so average. Location is obviously great. I would go for a post-beach drink and thats it.
Wow. Speechless... Beautiful spot, happy staff, delicious and fresh. Wow
Location Location. Nice enough to sit and have a beer and some expensive fish and chips, when its not too crowded.
Im not really into cuing up for 20 mins then sitting in a PACKED eatery, so i cant comment on service when its busy, but when its quiet the order at the counter and have food brought to your table seems to work well.
Fun place - not quite there yet. Food is ok. We had a bucket of prawns, salad and barramundi which was delicious. Outdoor furniture is shabby, and sitting on a milk crate is not comfortable, so try and grab a sofa seat or you won't be staying long.
I think for early lunch and some afternoon wine drinking (pink wine, Flamingo -surprisingly good Listel) it is a good place. Where are all beach clubs in Sydney? This is the right idea but not there yet.
Lovely little joint off Bondi Beach. Had a pitcher of beer and a Fish Sandwich.
Order at the bar. Get a number and they deliver it to you.
Service was quick. Food was good (bar food). Beer was cold. Views were great.

Decided to try this place for lunch, as its location is ideal to escape the beach but keep those views!
It's a bit pricy on the food front, but that aside has a great bar and cocktail selection.
Staff are polite & friendly.
Great spot for drinks with friends 👌🏼
Great location to enjoy some drinks & food with a view. We enjoyed the passion fruit mojito and a pitcher of pimms. The tacos were tasty and the poke was good. The service was prompt and you can’t beat the view. They have high chairs available upon request.
Such a cute lively place to visit in the day time. Only a bonus that it is situated right across the iconic Bondi beach. Food is a little bit on the expensive side but portions are huge so you get what you pay for! What can you expect for such an amazing location anyway!
Beautiful drinks and great place to relax. Haven't had the food but drinks are plentiful, just stay away from the shots!
It's wonderful sitting by the window or outside and looking over the beach at anytime of day or night.
Bring your friends, light crowd on Sundays, great music and can chat amongst the stars.
I went to Bondi and I had lunch at The Bucket List, the best location and really good service. It was a really hot day at Bondi, but I had a cold drink and a very nice salad overlooking at the beach. Coni, the waitress a really nice girl. Nice place and very clean. Good service!!!
Good food.. Nice vibe.. Cute lively and lovely place to hangout with your friends and familly.. Big portion of food.. Friendly staff.. Really good both having lunch or having dinner.. When i wes there.. They had live music performing.. Near bondi beach..
