Bungalow 8
Pontoon Bar
Nice views, good on a summer afternoon or warm evening. Busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Basic Australian barbecue food, not to pricey, sausages and salad, etc. Upstairs from Pontoon is the Wallaby Bar, but there is no wildlife, just tributes to the Australian Rugby Union team all around the room. However don't expect a quiet place to watch the rugger, its is very busy location, with a young crowd, and queues Friday and Saturday nights.
Pyrmont Bridge Hotel
Simple, no fuss establishment, popular with the locals and hospitality workers in the area as well.
James Squire Brewery
A range of James Squire beer on tap, and a good wine selection. Vibey place, good water views from the front, and a quaint pool table and pinball machines inside no gambling machines here. Food available. Busy most nights, but very busy Fri nights..

Very popular pub. Serves food as well, but worth making a reservation if you intend to eat there.

Pumphouse Tavern
Around 10 beers draught on tap, and around 100 available in total. Modern faux-rustic in style, attracts a young after work crowd. Generally busy, but even more before events at the Entertainment centre and after work on a Friday evening. Balcony restaurant upstairs. Pizza served in the bar area. View out onto the courtyard, good for people watching but no water views.
For a modern styled bat, with plenty of space, facing the promenade to the water, try:
