Why you'll love The Establishment

  • Located in the city centre
  • With extravagant lighting and a sleek, long marble bar
  • Private outdoor courtyard filled with light and greenery

The Establishment is the perfect place for your next event. We have three purpose-built rooms ready and waiting to accommodate any size event - from a small private dinner party of 25 to up to 230 people with two adjoining rooms that give you an incredible view of The Establishment Garden. Our meeting spaces are available in different sizes too so we can tailor our offering perfectly for whatever requirement or budget you require! The Establishment is a timeless space suitable for any occasion.

If you're coming for business, Establishment's multi-purpose break-out spaces are perfect for smaller events while the full floor offers privacy and functionality to larger conferences. For play? From milestone birthdays to anniversaries - these rooms are yours to make your own! Another bonus is that if you want a drink after hours from the Main Bar at Establishments or the prohibition-style bar Palmer & Co., it would be rude not to get some late-night dumplings from Mr Wong too!

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 place with a beautiful atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food was pricey but it did came in big portions. Overall beautiful place to hangout with lots of people

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.
