Absolutely disgraceful experience at Goros. I tried to enter to see my wife, and the power-tripping bouncers decided to kick me out because they thought I was stumbling. Apparently, in their expert medical opinion, that meant I was too “drunk” to enter. News flash: a slight misstep doesn’t mean someone is intoxicated The attitude from security was beyond arrogant—condescending, rude, and completely unprofessional. They didn’t listen, didn’t care, and seemed more interested in flexing their authority than actually managing the venue properly. I’ve been to plenty of bars and clubs, and I’ve never seen a place run by such an incompetent, self-important bunch of wannabe cops. The real kicker? Once they decide you’re “too drunk,” there’s no discussion, no reasoning with them. You’re just out, no matter how calm, coherent, or reasonable you try to be. It’s like dealing with a brick wall—except this brick wall sneers at you and enjoys ruining your night. Avoid this place at all costs unless you enjoy being treated like garbage for no reason. Absolute joke of a venue.

I recently tried to visit Goros and was delivered with a dose of unnecessary frustration and, frankly, absurdity. I was with a group of friends, all of us excited for a night of fun. But when we arrived, we were met by a security guard who seemed more interested in his power trip than in anything resembling customer service. Apparently, my friend, who had only sipped a drink or two, was "too drunk" to enter. Never mind the fact that he was walking perfectly fine and wasn’t slurring his words. But these security guards? They were on a mission: to enforce their own mysterious and unspoken rule that "only people we deem sober enough to enter" should be allowed in. Not even a friendly appeal could get us past them. Their judgment? Final. Their smiles? Nonexistent. I can appreciate safety, but when your security team is more interested in practicing their "authority" than actually creating a welcoming atmosphere, something is seriously wrong. So, if you want to risk your night out being ruined by random judgments and a bunch of people who think they’re auditioning for a role in The Ultimate Fighter, by all means, give this place a shot. If not, I suggest you save your time and try somewhere that knows how to make people feel welcome... even if they’ve had one too many beers.

Judging by some of the other reviews I’m not the only person to have a terrible experience at the door here. The manager and the security at the door (I think his name was Logan) were completely unreasonable, smug, self-righteous and all around seem to be on a massive power trip. I was there with a group of girls on a friend’s hens night at around 8pm last night and we had booked a private room. We were pulled aside in the line and told that two of the girls wouldn’t get it because they were too drunk - hilarious as one of them is pregnant and obviously hadn’t been drinking. My other pregnant friend in the group was also asked at the door how much she’d had to drink. It honestly didn’t seem to matter to them if anyone actually was as drunk as they thought - once they decided some of us weren’t getting in they made sure that it happened, and they made sure to serve up plenty of judgement and downright hostility alongside. Never been treated so rudely in my life. When I spoke to the security and manager and asked if they could explain what their reasoning was as it seemed like they’d just decided to target us as we were a large group of women - the manager said it was ultimately her decision and not to play ‘the woman card’. Luckily we walked around the corner to Tios where the vibes were high and everyone was extremely welcoming - we also went to Universal later for a dance. Goros was completely dead anyway so I’m super glad we didn’t go - if you’re thinking of going to Goros save yourself some time and energy and check out a different bar!

Awesome food with the gyozas! Nice selection of drinks and just a cool vibe to the whole place. Always love getting back here during a Sydney trip.

Goros is a trendy bar with a Japanese inspired atmosphere. The decor was gorgeous. They sell a range of drinks, which included alcoholic bubble teas, I ordered the watermelon bubble tea with vodka which was refreshing and sweet. On Friday they had $1 dumplings which was good value, the dumplings which were gyoza were yummy. The other food options such as the fries and fried cauliflower was also delicious. A really great venue for a Friday night and a short walk to central station.
