This is a great bar to have a drink at on the weekend. The atmosphere is awesome and there is a section for everyone. There are booths to sit & talk, a few dance floors to dance the night away and a fantastic outdoor area to sit/stand and have a drink. There is plenty of variety to choose from and... More

A really lovely place to have drinks in in the evening! In the middle of "The Rocks" and apparently gets very packed during the weekends. I wasn't there during any weekends, but enjoyed my quiet drink there on a weeknight as well!

Tried out the $25 "on special " chicken wraps today "for 2". It consisted of 3 slivers of chicken and 6 wraps with about a $1 worth of salad. I complained to the manager who informed me this amount of chicken was correct and he could provide some more chicken for $3. I'll like to know when you seem to... More

Again this came recommended to us. We sort of stumbled upon it as we walked around the Rocks. We first went in the courtyard area and got a few nibbles between 3 of us. The food was lovely, not cheap though, like anywahere in sydney - or australia for that matter. A few drinks and nibbles were great. The next... More

BBQ meat lovers platter. I think you have turned me into a vegetarian! $38 for a tasteless chicken sausage, a beef kebab that could have doubled for a belt, some chicken wings that looked like they belonged to an anorexic sparrow, and a chicken / pork kebab (not sure what it was?) . The chips were the highlight..... Nice place... More

Just loved the decor, the chairs, the atmosphere, foods, drinks, courtyard, bathrooms (very modern). Service was great, had a Spanish waiter, can't wait to go back again.

Went for a birthday dinner and drinks. The menu is completely unappealing and pricey... and it got worse as the food was ORDINARY. Ordered the scotch fillet, pretty sure it was bashed in to submission, fatty, tough, and of course I got the medium/well put in front of me rather than the medium I ordered. Wasn't until the end then... More

it is a very vibrant venue and a cool place to hang out after work for a drink or bites with colleagues. Music is nice and drinks are double sized therefore double priced. it gets too crowded on weekends.
