I liked the whole vibe - we were on the first floor for drinks after work. Definitely worth booking a table if there's a big enough group of you.

Classy venue, had many a good times there. Have a group of friends as it can be a bit shallow. But with the right company you can have a really good time ;)

Nice interiors of a complex with event spaces and F&Bs. There is even a pool on L6. It does not have street frontage and access is through a side lane. Worth a look see.

Extremely trendy Sydney bar and club. Great spaces to meet and chat. Often pool parties and other events are held here.

Prop up the bar and drink some cocktails. Spaside Margarita, pimped up with pear'n'ginger syrup, or go a Mojito Royale - just like a regular Mojito, only topped with sparkling wine. Frisky. Read more

Paul is simply the best. Even if you know exactly what you want, he gives you that plus something far more amazing!

Best place for a night out because there are sooo many places (or levels) to go to in one convenient location! My fav!

The $33 meal deal is good value. But it took us more than an hour to get our food and everyone around us(who came in later than us) got their food before us.

If you're not orange with peroxide hair, or sporting a suit with a diamond earring...you probably won't fit in...just a tip

Gone so far downhill since opening. What once was a classy establishment to enjoy an evening out has become a tacky joint overcrowded with trashy people.

A taste of Aussie nightlife. Very crowded on the weekend, and a bit pricey.

If you are a beer drinker the Asahi in the pool friendly bottles are the GO. The Henske sav blanc by the glass is good value @ $11

I like the building and concept of this building - still dislike the crowd

Don't go on a Friday or Saturday night unless you want to stand in a queue and end up fighting your way through a crowd of amateurs!
YiuJanuary 22, 2010
Nice and cool upstairs. Orange and passionfruit cocktail is yum.
Leon DoyleNovember 20, 2009
Head upstairs to The Den and order an R&J #3. Smoke with cocktail in hand. Yum.
Michael LamontSeptember 10, 2010
A great place to discover you are far less superficial than initially thought.
Glenn StoreyAugust 6, 2010
This place is a big dissapointment these days. Strange crowd ,desperate women, lonely men and finally all drinks served in cloudy plastic glasses. No wonder its loosing thousands! Sort it out Justin!
Gordon MakryllosSeptember 21, 2012
