Harbourside eatery Sydney Cove Oyster Bar will be booted from the spot it has occupied on Circular Quay's tourist promenade for more than three decades after the NSW government declined to renew its lease.
Harbourside eatery Sydney Cove Oyster Bar will be booted from the spot it has occupied on Circular Quay's tourist promenade for more than three decades after the NSW government declined to renew its lease.
Owner Philip Thompson said Property NSW informed him last week the restaurant was unsuccessful in its bid to keep the site, despite pitching an upgrade incorporating the venue's heritage architecture as part of a government tender process. A spokesperson for the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment said the tender process was commenced in November in anticipation of the restaurant's lease expiring in February.
"It’s Sydney’s loss. Such a wonderful place to spend a lazy summer afternoon with friends," Facebook user Clancy McDowell wrote.
