    Great restaurant, the oldest on the city. Food is fresh and tasty, even if the menu is short. And you can choose one of the home crafted beers, also incredible! Old fashion interior and very kind people.

    It is a little tricky to find but we followed the directions from others reviews and found it. Got there early on a Saturday, just after 4pm when they opened and was so glad we did. We took a seat at the bar and the very friendly and knowledgeable staff took their time to talk my fiancé through the different whiskeys he was interested in. I asked for a sweet cocktail and was served a delicious honeycomb one. Highly recommend you check this out. But get there early if you can. And sit at the bar, where you can watch the staff in action.

    Sydney visit, Marble Bar was part of the to-do list (Hilton) - managed to get-in on our last day. Underground bar, impressive green marble columns & archways, luxurious handsome dark-wood decor, live music - drink, dance, move-to-the-groove - was exuberant, close to Christmas. Will visit again on our next trip to Sydney. (I have gait/walking challenges (stroke), wear a legbrace.)

    There is no question CAMELOT LOUNGE is the best music venue in Sydney. The variety of world-class musicians and singers is truly amazing. Whether it's a tribute concert such as the one to Van Morrison, or gypsy inspired M.Camembert or the amazing Nadya Golski singing French songs, the artists are simply superb.
    We went with a party of 20 to the M.Camembert concert a couple of weeks ago, and our party plus the packed audience were over the moon with pleasure. Bravo
    What always adds to our enjoyment is that the limited menu mainly pizzas are always cooked to perfection and oh so tasty.
    We're going on Saturday to one of our very favourite acts. Baby et Lulu, the incredible talents of Abby Dobson (Leonardo's Bride) and Lara Goodridge singing their fun versions of classic French pop songs, always supported by fabulous musicians.
    Prices for the shows, the food and the drinks are extremely reasonable. Important in the current economic situation

    One of the best clubs in Sydney! Massive place and love the party ambiance. My squad availed one of the premier tables beside the dance floor and we got a really good experience of the night! Shoutout to Club Bookers for arranging our night out.

    Each and every month our eclectic group meet in the private sandstone dining room at The Hero of Waterloo pub.
    The bar and wait staff are exemplary.
    The food is consistently good and our spiritual leader Jim voted the chicken pesto penne the best meal in some time.
    Top marks to this 170 year old gem.

    Don’t miss a tasting at Young Henry’s. Fun atmosphere, mingle with locals, taste a variety of beer and cider. Good music. They close at 7pm. We loved talking with locals and hanging out with their dogs. Very friendly place.

    We arrived yesterday to spectacular views and great table service.

    The table service was friendly and efficient and the food, bubbles, cocktails and coffee were pretty good too.

    I booked this table back in September and requested a window table where I guaranteed a minimum spend of $140 per person in order to have this seating.

    Our booking jumped around a bit from 12.30 to 2.30 and then I received a phone call asking if 1pm was ok for us.

    The main reasons for my “average” rating is that in September I was told in writing that we could have our table of 7 by the window which unfortunately did not happen.

    I also have in writing that there would be a surcharge for tables of 8 and over.

    There were 7 of us. Our bill totalled $802 and then we were slugged an $88 gratuity as we were a table of more than 6!!! ???
    One of our party questioned this only to be told that this was their policy. When I said I had it in writing that it was in fact 8, I was just shrugged at.

    We always leave a decent tip but the whole process was so messy that I’m afraid you’ve lost at least 7 repeat customers.

    Very disappointing end to a lovely day out with friends.

    Great food, great ambiance, and a killer old fashioned. This was the best food we’ve had on our trip to Australia. The market fish with the clam sauce was delicious as was the raw scallop!

    Still has the iconic underground space and funky toilets and the overpriced Asian food upstairs (or overpriced Greek downstairs?) and it looks nice on the ground level so makes a good day pub as well. It's expensive but probably in line for craft beers in the city, so either pay the same at a cruddy place or get cruddy beer cheap at somewhere like the Shark.

    After the 3 hour experience of the Bridge Climb a cold beer and lunch was called for and the Harbour View Hotel did not disappoint. A great tap beer selection with a very good lunch menu was the perfect way to finish the climb.

    Why wouldn’t you visit a basement bar called Grandma’s? We did and it was fabulous. Awesome staff and great recommendations for Sydney eating spots. Loved it.

    Good experience and great drinks. The service was a bit dismissive but they could put a drink together. The place is dark. Like DARK! overall, it’s a nice night out

    I was travelling alone and stopped by for a beer at this great place. Although attached to the Rydges, it was a nice little bar in it's own right and had everything you need with an excellent selection of beers and good food.
    The staff were friendly and the happy hour made the prices very attractive. A bar probably targeted more at the corporate market but would definitely visit again.

    This was our second visit since it changed hands and it was so much better. The cocktails were fantastic and the food was great. They have a new menu. Very attentive staff. Will definitely go again soon . Highly recommend!
