A
Harbourside
The first major Darling Harbour development, Harbourside shopping centre is like that nightclub guy still wearing a pirate shirt and an unreconstructed mullet; its 1980s stylings are no match for the chic constructions loitering on the other side of the harbour. Billboards insist that ‘Harbourside is Happening’, but we’re not convinced. That said, some quality restaurants line the waterfront, it’s a good place to pick up souvenirs, and you can go 10-pin bowling here.

Cockle Bay Wharf
The first vaguely tasteful development in Darling Harbour, Cockle Bay Wharf occupies the harbour’s city-side frontage as far as Pyrmont Bridge. Its sharp, contemporary angles are softened by the use of timber and whimsical sculptures (we particularly like the jaunty dancing storks). Housing nine upmarket restaurants and six bars, Cockle Bay helped yank Darling Harbour out of the financial mire in the ’90s.

C
Star City
This large casino complex includes a major theatre, retail stores, restaurants, bars and a luxury hotel. It's located on the waterfront in Pyrmont, on the northwestern headland of Darling Harbour. The décor is best described as 'Disney-meets-Outback', complete with a lagoon bar (think indoor waterfall), fake palm trees and flashy lights all over the place.
