A French Champagne Bar In The Heart Of The Rocks

For a champagne bar in Sydney with French intent, head to Argyle Street. Ananas leads with a dedicated bar at the entrance, set within the heritage sandstone walls of the Argyle Stores. Champagne is poured, classic cocktails are stirred and chilled seafood is presented from the moment guests step inside.

The bar works as a prelude to dinner or as a destination in its own right. The 100-seat brasserie sits just steps from Sydney Harbour, with the rhythm of French dining running through the room.

A Bar That Sets The Tone

The bar is the first thing guests meet at Ananas. Champagne anchors the list, moving from familiar houses to smaller producers, with options by the glass and the bottle. Classic cocktails follow, stirred with care.

The pours hold to French rhythm. Slow, considered, paired with something to eat. Chilled seafood completes the offering. Oysters in particular suit the bubbles, drawn from the brasserie’s wider raw selection.

Sandstone Walls And A Sense Of Occasion

Few Sydney addresses carry the weight of the Argyle Stores. The heritage sandstone has stood in The Rocks for generations, and the bar sits within those walls with quiet confidence. The 100-seat brasserie carries a sense of occasion suited to long lunches and slow evenings.

Tables near the bar suit shorter visits. The dining room behind suits longer ones. Both share the same hand on the wine list and the same approach to service.

A Brasserie Beyond The Champagne

The bar opens into a brasserie that honours French tradition. Year-round signatures sit alongside lighter, seasonal plates, guided by French technique and respect for produce. The menu moves with the seasons but always keeps an anchor in classic brasserie cooking.

Ananas is the French word for pineapple, a long-standing symbol of hospitality and abundance. That thread runs through both the bar and the dining room. Champagne on arrival. A long lunch or dinner if there is time. Coffee and something sweet at the end.
