The Icon is a restaurant and bar located in the heart of Wollongong, directly behind the IPAC theatre. Our menu has an American + Greek influence alongside the L.A. vibe the venue already carries. There are tapas plate options for those that love to share, plus we also offer main meals for those who don't. We offer lunch specials and Sunday brunches and something for everyone . The Icon is definitely a vibe and the food will blow you away like the venue itself !!

The Icon is open all day for coffee and cake or join us for a drink at the bar with happy hour from 4pm - 7pm offering $5 tap beers and wines as well as $10 cocktail specials.

We pride ourselves in supporting local suppliers and serving up great quality food to get you ready for a night of dancing (optional)

We have live entertainment over the weekend, follow us on Facebook and Insta to keep up with all the latest on whats happening here !

    Food was good and staff pleasant. It's a bit to "serve yourself" for me i.e. get your own menu, get your own drinks and order food at the bar. Staff bring the food too you table but it feels like club not restaurant service. Good for a quick casual bite. The calamari is highly recommended.

    I booked for dinner with 3 friends prior to attending a show at the IPAC. Food was great and well priced. The noise was unbelievable. I didn['t realise it was more of a pub/nightclub rather than a restaurant. If noisy / rowdy patrons and really loud music is your thing, you'll love it. Its not for a quiet pre-theatre dinner though as we had to shout to each other to be heard in conversation.
