A seaside Japanese Izakaya — tucked inside Harry’s by day, RND (Raw Next Door) comes out to play when the sun goes down.

A coastal, after-dark hideaway serving refined plates, considered drinks and a quietly captivating atmosphere.

Venue Story

Bondi’s After Dark.

RND moves with the rhythm of Bondi — calm by day, glowing by night. As the sun sets and the café softens, the space transforms into a relaxed, elevated izakaya shaped by Japanese sensibility and the ease of seaside living. The menu focuses on simple pleasures: premium sashimi, small plates, robata-grilled dishes and flavours built on heat, smoke and restraint.

It’s the spot you slip into after a long day in the sun — salt still on your skin, breeze drifting through the door, spritz or sake in hand. The lighting dims, the pace slows, and the room becomes both intimate and alive, a place where the night unfolds without effort.

Whether you’re settling in for a quiet dinner, a date, or one last bite on your way home, RND offers Bondi’s take on an izakaya — understated, warm and made for the hours after dark.
