Employees Only

First time at Employees only, we were late but they were very accommodating. I called to say we are going to be late and they said it’s fine. It was very busy, hard to talk because of the loud noise but the vibe was great. The drinks and food were amazing. Our orders didn’t took long to be served. I also enjoyed the Burlesque show, it was fun. Highly recommended.

Fun and vibrant bar with great food and great vibes!!

Food and cocktails were amazing.
The fact that it was 2 hour sitting takes a lot out of positive experience as it feels like you are in the rush.
My friends and I ordered cocktails without checking the time, waited took the order and about 7minutes later drinks were served. We had a sip when a waiter came again And said we have only 10 minutes left. This wasn't the nicest way to finish the night. Cocktails that cost $24 each to be drunk in hurry don't taste well. But this is not the end, 5 minutes later we were asked to move to bar area and finish cocktails there.

If we knew we had only 15minutes left we would order more.
Very poor end of the night unfortunately.

What a cool spot to catch-up with friends. The drinks were good. The food was hit and miss but the ambiance was great!

Was a little chilly, air con wise but bearable.

Music choices weren't always fitting for venue style also.

Very romantic place, good cocktail, great service.

Everything was so enjoyable. Slightly on the pricey side though

Great playlist but it was unnecessarily loud.

Great choice of music and attentive service. Steak was a tough old piece of leather! 2 meals were both the same. At best $15 pub steaks, and not $39 steaks as advertised. We were so hungry so could not bother waiting another 25 minutes, so ate it!

To be honest I was pretty disappointed with our experience. We booked a table on the Tuesday of that week for the Saturday at 9:00pm. When we arrived we were shown to the end of the bar, where the bar hatch is, which is right at the back in the corner away from any of the vibe of the main area bar and also by the bins. An hour in to our stay we asked if we could move seeing as a few tables in the actual main area looked to be emptying but we just got frowned at saying it was busy. Being mindful of social distancing measures, it was by no means "that" busy and still quite early in the night really. At that point we decided to leave, I just got bored of looking at the rubber mats on the floor behind the bar as well as the dishwasher, and so wasn't really getting the full experience of the bar. The doormen also came across as a bit to cool for school, functional but not exactly welcoming or friendly, so all in all a bit of a let down really, we had great expectations having been to the NY version but this was mediocre on that night to say the least!

Great music and atmosphere, come for great cocktails not for wine, food is fine

Had the absolute best night for my birthday, seated at the bar and well taken care of by “apprentice” the entertainment and dance late in the evening was a lively surprise. Recommended to all my friends

Incredible, as always. Employees only is outstanding.

Took my partner for a little Thanksgiving meal at EO.
Loved the service, the food, decor and atmosphere (the playlist was great)
It’s always nerve racking trying a new place- will it be good? Will she enjoy it? Have I chosen poorly?
Happy to say that EO is a venue I will return to. Great choice. The speakeasy vibe is fun and different.
If your reading this and not sure- do it! And if your reading this after booking... your in for a treat.
We took some pics of the lovely decor on an old film camera. Hopefully they turned out as great as the night.

Really great place. Good value and good cocktails.

Great place, fabulous show, amazing cocktails, we will be back

It wasn’t to bad but the food wasn’t that great for the price. The service was pretty good and the atmosphere was pretty good. All in all we enjoyed our evening.

Absolutely recommend this place for a date night.. we sat in a private booth which was lovely and intimate. The service was friendly and attentive and each dish and cocktail we had were delicious. Loved the burlesque show too. So much fun and will devo at be back.

The ambience is lovely. The food was below average, except for the oysters which were delicious. Drinks were pretty average and inconsistent.

Lovely place, great staff, amazing cocktails! Would reccomended.

Fun place with a cool vibe centred mostly for the young at heart. Slick presentation, good service.

Best bar in Sydney. We hope to visit again soon!!!

A venue more suited to a younger group, was very loud & felt out of place. Lovely furnishings.

Cool subterranean hideout; the burlesque dancer on the bar really launched the night; killer cocktails and music. Winner!

Good food and entertainment

One of my favourite bars in Sydney! I do not like the host. He does not have good customer service skills

Amazing service and atmosphere, we need more bars like this in Sydney.

Great Place - Amazing cocktails staff and ambience, worth every cent and an excellent attention to detail thought from service to decor.

Always happy to support
The local, especially when staff are amazing!
Keep doing what you’re doing guys.

Fabulous Venue, Gorgeous Lighting...Stunning ambiance....

bad food for the price
worst music and ambiance
worst and tiniest toilets ever

Ambiance is great, the cocktails are excellent, but we got our main dish before the starters...

Great cocktails, food and awesome vibe! Loved the show as well!

Enjoyed the dinner there with my girlfriend

Amazing service, great suggestions on starters, mains and drinks.
Loved the energy of the place and appreciated the complimentary drink for our first night out since the pandemic.

Highly recommend!

Lovely staff. A good variety of cocktails to pick from. Overall a great experience.

Very nice cocktail br. Very professional staff as well. The cocktails were amazing.

Atmosphere is eclectic, music on point, wait staff always ready to help. Its a familiar friendly vibe with an edge.
Dinner, there is something for everyone, meat, vegan, amazing bar food.
The drinks are the pinnacle of why i go....amazing mixologists who know how to serve up classics and create new gems.
