Pre-drinks and Tapas
Cafe on Legs
Cafe on Legs is one of the most popular hotspots in Wollongong. This restaurant and bar combination is a must as it provides patrons with a dining experience influenced by Asian and Mediterranean styles of cooking. For those of you out of work on time, head to this hidden restaurant to begin the night with their “Tappy Hour” from 5pm to 6pm every day of the week. Order cajun sweet potato wedges or a share platter as you begin to get a bit peckish throughout the night. Don’t forget to indulge in exotic drinks at this establishment that will tantalise your tastebuds, a cocktail teapot serves two, so choose from a Stiletto Slammer or a Back Handed Panda to accompany your tasty tapas. Forget large crowds and waiting hours for a table, come to this exclusive restaurant where you can sit quietly after work and catch up on gossip.
Where: 121 Corrimal Street, Wollongong NSW 2500
Fine Dining
Lagoon Seafood Restaurant
For those of you looking for something a little out of the ordinary, reserve a table at the Lagoon Seafood Restaurant and discover fresh seafood which is simply sensational. With a string of awards, this restaurant never disappoints with dishes that include local lobsters, Queensland mud crabs and Sydney rock oysters. Their set menus cater to everyone and are the perfect option for you and your significant other if you decide to spend some quality time together without the colleagues. However, if you just can’t seem to part with the team from work then there is no problem setting up a group booking with more friends, to enjoy dinner and drinks outside of the office. Not only is the food amazing, the scenery surrounding the restaurant is simply breathtaking as you can watch the waves roll onto the shore in Wollongong. To top the night off you can enjoy live entertainment at the Lagoon Lounge every Friday, Saturday and Sunday which is fully licensed until 2am for those of you looking to keep the night going.
Where: Stuart Park, North Wollongong NSW 2500
Dessert
Sugar Cube
If you think that the night ends after dinner then think again, we have one more special stop before you head home. Inspired by an old fashioned milk bar, the Sugar Cube is home all things sweet including Leige Belgian waffles, ice cream, sundaes and all things sweet. This venue is considered to be the trendiest dessert bar in town so if you feel like a nice coffee or tucking into a banana split, this is the place to go. The funky and fresh interior decor is bound to bring back memories. For those of you who feel guilty staying out late, purchase a colourful waffle pop to bring home for the kids decorated with chocolate. Next time you’re out in the evening, say hello to the Sugar Cube team who will no doubt be making fresh waffles to be served.
Where: 2/63-65 Crown Street, Wollongong NSW 2500
