Saltwater Bar & Bistro

The Central Coast's best pub restaurant

Open 7 days, lunch & dinner

Our sun drenched deck among the trees of the Avoca Beach bushland is waiting for you - only minutes away from Terrigal and Copacabana. Come and share a cocktail with friends, or a tasty pub meal with family in the fresh outdoors, or stay cosy indoors. You'll discover that our menu is seafood inspired, but includes meaty favourites and vegetarian delights, in snack sizes and healthy serves. And if you arrive at the right time you might enjoy a visit from the local birds and wildlife.
