About Us
THE NIELSEN
Located on Shark Beach within the idyllic Nielsen Park in Vaucluse, The Nielsen combines heritage charm with contemporary coastal style. Home to three distinct spaces—The Kiosk, The Pavilion, and The Beach Club—it offers something for everyone, whether you’re seeking a casual beachside bite or an unforgettable event setting.
The Kiosk is your go-to for coffee, casual bites, or cocktails, while The Pavilion and The Beach Club provide stunning event spaces surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty.
With recent renovations breathing new life into its iconic spaces, The Nielsen is the perfect spot to experience Sydney’s quintessential seaside lifestyle.
The Nielsen is part of the Sydney Restaurant Group, a family-owned business founded by Bill Drakopoulos.
With decades of experience in hospitality, the group has grown into a collection of unique dining venues across Sydney.
Bill’s children—Anastasia, Nicola, Daniel, and Perry—now lead as directors, continuing the family’s vision of offering warm, accessible dining in scenic locations. Each venue reflects the group’s commitment to high-quality food and service.
