El Vista has officially opened at Circular Quay, marking the second collaboration between Accor\u2019s Table For and The Maybe Group. Taking over the previous Hacienda Bar, the venue pulls its cues from 1960s Acapulco glamour, with a focus on food, drinks, and music.<\/p>\n

The cocktail program pays homage to Latin America, with Margaritas, Daiquiris, reworked Palomas, Mojitos and Cuba Libres, plus a \u201cColada\u201d section with strawberry and pandan\u2013mint versions. Two new signatures stand out \u2013 a dulce de leche Espresso Martini and a cold milky rum sour.<\/p>\n

For The Maybe Group, the brief was clear. \u201cWith El Vista, we didn\u2019t want to recreate the past \u2013 we wanted to recapture its spirit. Acapulco in the 1960s was electric: effortless glamour, late nights, big energy and a culture built on rhythm and connection. El Vista distils that feeling and brings it to Sydney\u2019s harbour, with food, music and cocktails that feel alive with story and soul,\u201d says Stefano Catino, Co-Founder and Director of The Maybe Group.<\/p>\n

Chef Giovanni Pilu leads the kitchen with a menu built on Mexican and South American coastal flavours. Plates are bright, generous, and made for sharing, with dushes such as: aguachile de seriola, torita de cangrejo, golden corn dough cheese empanadas, yellowfin tuna crispy tacos, and chorizo hot dogs.<\/p>\n

The venue shifts throughout the week, with Latin jazz playing through until sunset, global grooves on Thursdays, disco and funk on Fridays, soulful Saturdays, and acoustic brunches that roll into Latin nights on Sundays.<\/p>\n

Table For sees El Vista as a continuation of its new venue pipeline. \u201cWe?re thrilled to unveil El Vista in partnership with The Maybe Group and Giovanni Pilu. This collaboration captures exactly what Table For was created to do: unite visionary hospitality talent to create beautifully executed, culturally relevant, guest-led experiences. Bar Allora set the stage, and El Vista continues that story, an evolution of style, flavour, and celebration. And with Flaminia opening just upstairs, this is only the beginning\u201d says Ben Creek, Head of Table For.<\/p>\n

El Vista is part of Table For\u2019s three-venue summer rollout, alongside Bar Allora on Bond Street and Flaminia.<\/p>\n
