Came for their Tuesday 50% happy hour and fell in love with the place. The cocktail list was creative and delicious, and though the food took a while to come the portions were great and very tasty! The staff were all very attentive, kinda and helpful, they added to the amazing atmosphere. I can’t wait to go back!

Fantastic food, great cocktails, and a lovely atmosphere! We came here pretty early on so it was still very quiet but I have heard it gets a lot livelier later on! The food was delicious, lovely oysters, the crab tostadas were incredible and even the guacamole and chips had a bit of a twist which was delicious. The cocktails were beautiful and very well balanced - you can tell they definitely know their flavour palettes here! I definitely will be returning (hopefully during happy hour!)

I really like the place, love the paintings and the atmosphere. About the food (my personal opinion) I think that is nothing special; was good but I was expecting more. At that price you can find something better. Also I ordered the appetizer and the starter and they brought me both at the same time; nobody died but it would have been nice if they had brought one first and then the other.

Employees Only Sydney - this is a must go to bar / restaurant in Sydney. THE BEST music in any bar, anywhere! Have been to Employees Only Sydney several times over the past couple of years. Has to easily rate as the best bar anywhere I have visited, including their namesake in Singapore. For me the #1 attraction to EO Sydney is the bar staff. They are amazing in their skills in making drinks, especially cocktails, and in the way they entertain the guests. Cocktails are amazing, especially the Coconut Espresso Martini. The speciality is the house Shot. If you are nice to them, I am sure they will treat you to one! :-) Food is outstanding, especially considering this is a bar. They have a dining area. The food is absolutely delicious. They also have "entertainment" on Friday & Saturday nights. Overall, this is a must go to bar / restaurant in Sydney. You can also have your fortune told. Finally, THE BEST music in any bar in any country I have been to. Thank you EO Sydney team, you are Simply the BEST!

8pm 08/10/23 Amazing service through and through by everyone especially Lorena as she was a great hostess to me and my wife. Food was good, I loved my sous vided lamb chops. It was our first time at the venue and it was a nice Gatsby type vibe, from the underground location to the burlesque bar top dancer. The place was clean, including the toilet. The service was quick, the drinks came around in under a minute for most of them. Overall a good experience but I had to write a review because of the stellar service. Keep it up.
