Employees Only

Another amazing evening with fiends. Cocktails on point 👌. See you again EOS

Great cocktail bar! Been here twice now and have loved the cocktails and atmosphere both times. It is a great bar for a date night or night with the girls.

Awesome venue and great vibes

The cocktails and service are excellent and if that's what you're after then EO is a great place to visit. Unfortunately the food wasn't anything special, had a really chewy skirt steak so the focus seems to be on the cocktails. The space is nice but lacked a feeling of warmth, intimacy and energy, perhaps it was because my party was sitting in the middle of the dining area rather than the banquettes.

Great service and the best cocktail in Sydney forever! I love the music there . But they don’t have too much choice for main , so I will say it is a great place to have cocktail in such a nice bar but not enough place for fine dining.

Finally got to Employees Only and it did not disappoint. From the great ambience, to delicious cocktails, good tunes and fabulous staff this bar is definitely a place to go back to time and time again. Thought it was good for both small and large groups to get together but what really impressed me was the staff. Service was impeccable and friendly. Can't wait to go back!

Great find, cool vibe and really good food!

Good night, food was good. I like the way the menu was designed, some very thoughtful dishes. A couple of dishes were under seasoned. The 'Tuscan Black Cabbage Slaw' was a really boring dish, baby cavolo leaves with julienne of carrot and squeeze of lemon juice is pretty underwhelming, thought it would be more of a South Carolina style slaw. Crab Raviolo was a good dish, fennel nage was good, lacked a bit of seasoning, could have used some fennel tops to finish, crab lacked a bit of seasoning and citrus too but overall a nice dish. Cured ocean trout was a well put together dish, seasoned well and garnished well, could have been sliced a little thinner so it was a bit more 'fine bouche'.

Will definitely be back, ambience was cool and super friendly service staff. Hopefully a few more french drops on the wine menu next time !

A plus !

The service was not up to the level for this kind of bar. It was almost impossible to get attention of waitresses as they were too busy running around and they didn't make us feel welcomed at all. We would have stayed longer and ordered more if it wasn't for this issue.

Outstanding customer service, amazing food & Cocktails. Would definitely return to Employees Only.

The food, ambience and staff were fantastic.
It was great they had table service for drinks as well.
It was on the pricey side (guess that’s Sydney for you!) but I’d definitely go back again in the future, and I definitely recommend the cocktails!

I didn't eat there... but was catching with a friend. It is a lovely cozy bar. I'll visit it again

Good for dinner on a quieter night but far too loud, even for drinks, on a busy night.

Great service and food. Great drinks menu

Shout out to Cameron and Eleanor for a great experience!

Great food, excellent cocktails, could be event better if they had smaller steak options for the 2 people who can’t eat that much!

Exceptional service, great vibes and delicious cocktails!

Excellent food service, the design of the place is amazing overall the price and the experience you get is an excellent deal

Great atmosphere for drinks and fantastic service with very attentive staff. Can even hear each other talk despite the funky DJ music in the background. And not to mention the drinks are top notch. That's what you're there for isn't it?

I had my birthday there
Everything was good
Tartare is amazing

We went after a tecommendation from a friend, and it did not disappoint. Although a little pricey, the cocktails were all fantastic (with the Amelia living up to the hype). Excellent decor and surprisingly not too noisy or crowded (although we did attend fairly early (8pm). Would definitely go again.

Fantastic cocktails and great ambience. Friendly service. Will definitely return.

Do yourself a favor and get down to EO. Amazing cocktails, outstanding service and to top it all off the Bone marrow poppers are phenomenal !

Food was amazing, however unfortunately the service not so much. More waitstaff was needed, as it took us over 30 minutes to place an order, and there were not waiters around to order more drinks throughout the night. Also the menu is not cheap, so for the price you pay, expected the service to be much much better.

Great cocktails, great staff and service. Tartare was excellent. Other dishes were ok. Great vibes but I was secretly hoping for New York style speakeasy - this was more of a noisy / busy Sydney cocktail bar.

Great place to go before dinner drinks after work....however a little noisy to talk.

850g rib eye was fantastic. Wine list a little bit small as it’s more of a cocktail place

Entered the venue and was really impressed with the presentation and vibe of the place.
Staff were so nice and friendly. Love the fact they are from all types of background. Drinks are something special and the food variety was pretty good.
Overall it was a nice evening and will do this on a regular basis.

Such a great new bar! Sydney needed something like this. The drinks were fantastic, the food was the quality of fine dining.. odd to get at a bar. Fun, laid back vibe in such a sexy bar. Will definitely be going there again!

The service was impeccable at Employees Only. We were impressed with the secrecy and intimacy of the restaurant and that was compounded by the incredible food and drinks, as well as the personable service we received. Would happily dine here again.

Food was lovely but the service was disappointing, I had a booking for 3 people and we were crammed in a small corner with a table barely big enough for 2people.

It was 90mins of patiently waiting for our food because the waitress forgot to put our order in.

The music was too loud no one could hear each other talking even on other tables. After 10pm music at that level is acceptable but during dinner time it’s too loud & we all got headaches.

Not a raving fan of this place, it’s doesn’t live up to the experience at the Employees Only venue in New York.

Everything was exceptional except that the music was way too loud.

The hard surfaces and the loud music took away from what could have been an exceptional experience.

Otherwise everything from the decor, staff and quality of food & wine was outstanding.

It is a new place. The service is not up to the standard of the prices. Very high volume music and very difficult to have conversations. I may try the place again when maybe they have developed a bit of more experiences. The prices are higher than other places in the area for the products and food offered.

It’s was a bit of a rip for what it is. Very overpriced cocktails.

Fantastic Environment. Great selection of drinks and excellent service

Great food. Really good cocktails (if a little on the $$ side) but the quality and the venue was worth the price point. The decor is absolutely stunning and alot of thought has been put into the details.The psychic was fantastic and was a great fun edition.
My only minor critism would be that the music was a little too loud which in turn made everyone talk alot louder so its difficult to hear other people and the tables weren't cleared following the appetisers. Other than that it was a fantastic night and I will definately be back!
Loved it an so happy to see a unique bar like this in Sydney!
Thank you

I love the entrance and deep stairway entrance. The staff were very attentive and we enjoyed our drinks & bar food

Great venue for a casual after work drink. We had a medium sized group in the stand up area which worked really well.

Employees Only is just what was missing in Sydney. The food, service, atmosphere is amazing. Definitely worth a visit and highly recommend.

Might develop into a great spot once the waitstaff have been trained, the place settles in and the noise level is attenuated to something that will not result in industrial deafness for the patrons and the staff.
I will try again in 3 months and see if it has settled in and I can actually hear myself think - which was simply not possible on Wednesday night until around 9:45 pm when we had finished dinner and were leaving.
