Absolutely Horrible Experience – Stay Away! I had one of the worst nights ever at this club. The manager was blatantly racist and treated us with obvious bias the moment he heard our accents. He refused to let my friend in, falsely claiming she was drunk – which she absolutely wasn’t. Meanwhile, he let in someone else from our group just because he had a tattoo on his neck. The discrimination was clear and disgusting. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable in 2025. If you care about fairness, respect, or just having a decent night out without being judged or humiliated, do NOT go to this place. The staff needs serious training (or replacing). Would give 0 stars if I could.

Beautiful venue and exceptional food as to be expected from Merivale. Had lunch twice as well as drinks and dinner and everything was perfection

I’ve been to establishment many times with no issues however this time we were told the place was closing multiple times with no indication that was the occurrence. When questioning this and claiming our eviction was racially charged the management suddenly claimed it was due to intoxication. When further questioning the indications of this so called ‘intoxication’ no answers were given and instead a printed policy was presented to us. We prompty left the location following this encounter however I don’t find the communication of the issue (whether it was otherwise charged or due to ‘intoxication’ as claimed) was appropriate or justified. As two people trying to just have a nice night this was very upsetting. I no longer recommend or endorse this location.

Amazing staff, particularly Louisa who can mix a cocktail better than a Hogwarts wizard. Establishment should be your number one spot when hitting Sydney’s nightlife. Phenomenal atmosphere and even greater libations. You’d be foolish not to stop in.
