The Shire’s Best BYO Restaurants
Saturday Nights Included!
Saturday nights are often reserved for good food, good friends and great wine. It’s the one night of the week we like to let our hair down, so naturally we love a restaurant that embraces BYO on a Saturday night. Whether it be at a birthday, group catch-up, or family celebration, with BYO you can save big whilst wining and dining. And if you’re simply just a wine snob, you’re also a winner. Here’s your chance to wipe the dust from that special bottle you’ve been saving.
So from cheap eats to dining with a view, here are six of the best places to come armed with a bottle any night of the week in the Shire.
Sealevel
Cronulla's iconic waterfront restaurant, Sealevel, is the perfect spot to pack your favourite drop and soak in the breathtaking water views. Known for its delicious, Modern Australian cuisine with a seafood twist, you can't go wrong here. For a real treat-yourself moment, dive into their famous Seafood Platter, and make sure you say yes to the Lobster – it's a game-changer. Corkage is $10pp.

Bangkok Bites
Bangkok Bites offers a fun and relaxed atmosphere, ideal for enjoying dinner and drinks with mates. Their menu features all your beloved Thai classics. While we often gravitate towards favourites like Pad See Ew, Massaman Curry, and Chicken Satay, branching out has its rewards. Don't miss the unique Pineapple Fried Rice, served directly in a pineapple, or indulge in their specialty Soft Shell Crab! With corkage at just $2.50pp, it's the perfect spot to unwind and savour the flavours of Thailand.

Loved by locals, Seven Lanterns’ cuisine is best described as Korean and Japanese with a Mediterranean twist. As you step through their bamboo-lined alleyway entrance, a world of incredible flavour awaits. Head chef David and his talented team pride themselves on serving quality, featuring only the freshest local ingredients. The Raw Bar is our favourite way to start, followed by Corn Ribs and Popcorn Shrimps! Corkage is $5pp midweek and $8pp on weekends.
