Pier Bar and Pier Dining under one roof

Pier Bar and Pier Dining share the same site and address on Hickson Road. Pier Bar is the casual side, with dining, drinks and cocktails by the water and its own menu. The restaurant is the sit-down option with the sharing-style menu, and its bookings are made online through SevenRooms. Both are part of the same harbour-side venue, so it's easy to start with a drink and move to dinner.
