What Barangaroo House does

Barangaroo House is a multi-level waterfront hospitality and entertainment venue located at 35 Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo, NSW 2000, Australia. It operates across three differentiated spaces within a single building: House Bar on the ground level (a waterfront bar and terrace offering craft beer, champagne, cocktails and Japanese-influenced bar food), Rekodo on Level 1 (a Japanese-inspired restaurant combined with a vinyl bar and resident DJs playing soul, funk, disco, hip hop and house), and Smoke on Level 2 (a rooftop cocktail bar hosting events such as R&B Fridays, Disco Saturdays and Jukebox Bottomless).

The business runs an integrated weekly events program (Hip Hop Thursdays, R&B Fridays, Disco Saturdays, weekday Happy Hour at House Bar, and bottomless experiences at Smoke) layered on top of its day-to-day food and beverage service. Functions and private events are sold across all three levels, with dedicated enquiry handling. Table reservations are managed via the Sevenrooms platform, and the venue is integrated into The Pass loyalty app, which connects it to a network of more than 200 Australian pubs, bars and restaurants.

Commercially, Barangaroo House generates revenue through a la carte food and beverage, curated Japanese sharing set menus (including the Rekodo Fast Forward Lunch at A$55 per person), sake and wine pairings (full pairing A$95 per person), event-based bottomless-drinks experiences, and function/event hire with public-holiday surcharges (15%) and group gratuities (10% for 8+ guests, 6% for 10+ guests). Operationally, corporate and legal linkages point to Australian Venue Company (ausvenueco.com.au) as the operating/parent entity, although no formal incorporation, capital structure or ownership details are disclosed. No AI/ML capability, external funding, or M&A activity is disclosed in the source material.
