Beautiful restaurant! The location over Bondi Beach and the ocean is incomparable. We got the grilled pink snapper and the fish & chips (bream) and both were delicious. The Balter Hazy PA is a great local beer. Staff were welcoming and attentive, and one of the chefs was happy to talk about their fish. Very happy we found this one!

Lovely venue - absolutely iconic. There for a function. Staff were lovely and so helpful and the food and beverage offerings were amazing. Parking is sketchy around here... Get a bus or an Uber - much better.

Had the Chicken Parmie and the Organic Breaded Chicken — both were delicious! Fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. Great vibe and friendly service, definitely worth a visit in Bondi.

Fantastic views, iconic pool, had a great day. Change rooms are nice, maybe a little small for the amount of people.
Good food at the cafe and people don't stay long so got a table fairly quickly.
We also saw Jason Donovan going for a dip 🤣♥️!
What could be better:
I think the black floored area could be changed as it's impossible to sit on- way to hot!

You really can't beat this for location, the view is to die for. So it's nice that the food is also really excellent. Service was brisk and the food was tasty, fresh and well priced.

We had a very pleasant dinner here. The welcome where we signed in and the person who seated us (and then found us a quieter table) was professional and friendly. The views are unbelievable for the price of the drinks and food, love that this makes it accessible for most. Good pub food. Good selection of drinks. A very nice place to have dinner, watch the beach and enjoy a drink. Thankyou for a lovely night.

We visited Icebergs Club Bondi Beach on Sunday, 16th November, with 3 adults and 3 children. After ordering meals for everyone and spending over $200, one of the kids’ burgers was missing when the food arrived. We dine in this place at least twice a month.
When I went to the bar to ask about it, the staff member laughed and said, “Mate, if you ordered two, you’d have got two.” When I asked him to check the receipt, he claimed he couldn’t find it and told me with a smirk to just order another one and sit down. I ended up paying for another burger so my child could eat.
When I asked to speak with a manager, the staff began laughing and mocking me, clearly making fun of my accent - which was extremely disrespectful and discriminatory. The manager arrived and found the “missing” receipt in under 10 seconds. Instead of showing any accountability, the same staff who had caused the issue laughed again when the receipt was found.
My wife, holding our 8-month-old baby, calmly tried to explain that the behaviour was unacceptable. One of the bar staff raised his voice at her, becoming confrontational, and had to be physically held back by the manager and told to stop arguing. He then turned his back on her mid-conversation, drank his water, and laughed again.
This experience was completely unprofessional and humiliating. We were laughed at because of my accent, spoken to rudely, and saw a male staff member yell at a woman holding a baby. No family should be treated like this — ever.

Finally got to visit the famous Bondi Icebergs and I was not disappointed! Grabbed a drink and a bite to eat upstairs at the dining room and then popped down to the pool to swim a few laps. It was SO cold but very refreshing!! The ocean … More

Bondi Beach is world-famous, but not visiting it is like not visiting at all. Enjoying a cold beer while gazing at Bondi Beach is a sight to behold. Please note that all visitors must have a passport for entry.

Well I've always wanted to come to Bondi Iceberg Swimming Club now I can take it off my bucket list. I wasn't disappointed, spectacular views, great food a rather busy swimming pool - I wasn't tempted in any way to join the swimmers... lol!
Special gathering for my mum's 90th birthday gathering. The views are stunning the menu supplements the view. We were in the bistro on the middle floor. Because I was so late to arrive, I missed the main lunch and I ended up only having a bowl of chips. The chips were pretty good but the massive fantastic selection of condiments blew my mind blue... Lol. I have taken a photo but I really want to tell you in person about the condiments. There is horseradish, hot english mustard, there is a bottle that says hot hot hot, I'm assuming that is hot sauce. There is malt vinegar, HP sauce, Sriracha Sauce which is Thai. Plus where would be with out good old fashioned tomato sauce or ketchup as some like to call it.
After a day that was a tad stressful too me, I rather enjoyed the refreshing Elderberry Spritzer it was so good, that I had a second . Because I was so rushed and running late, enjoy the pictures so you can have a look at the lovely fantastic choices that I didn't have a chance to try.
I'm told that the snapper pie was awesome.

It is a place where you can swim while looking at the amazing beach. If the weather is nice, you can witness beautiful scenes. Also, the advantage is that you can enjoy a sauna after swimming.

Bondi Icebergs is one of those places that makes you feel brave before you have even touched the water. The ocean pool sits right on the edge of the headland, white rails against turquoise, and waves occasionally lift a veil of spray over … More

The pool looks very old and dirty. Old facility gives the impression there's no maintenance effort made. Need yo pay for extra to use the locker. Full of tourists. Unsure if it's worth it. I gladly skipped it.

Bondi Icebergs feels like a quiet ritual between body and sea.
A place where you swim 🏊, breathe, and let the noise fall away. Cold natural seawater that wakes you up gently, a sauna that melts the weight you didn’t know … More
