    For a good time, book a table for dumplings. Besides duck pancakes, food is great (esp. Chilli mud crab dumplings) & u can order drinks from the table. Leave b4 9:30 unless u like pretentious wankers.

    Good to bring tourists to for a night out. Ladies watch your ankles on the cobbles stones. Gents, take a rest break in the alien pod style urinals. Just watch out for inquisitive passersby.

    Its a flash joint with a nice layout but you have to deal with pretentious wankers. The place makes even the most simplest task of taking a piss difficult!

    Well-designed interiors in a setting that respects (and even glorifies) its historic surrounds.

    Friendly staff and the mixologists know their craft. Great place to catch up with friends before heading out.

    Twenty dollar cover for diluted drinks and slightly haphazard decor but music's pretty good on a Saturday night. This is not a spot for conversation; chill & people watch if you're not dancing.

    Really awesome pub. Quiet before 9pm and great for a meal but after that time prepare for DJs and a good time!

    Have had great nights here in the past, but will reconsider revisiting in future - no amount of swanky interiors & cool cocktails can justify the attitude from the wannabe model/actress at the door.

    Beautiful atmosphere- stuck with beer and wine since they measure drinks pretty closely. Awesome vibe!! Thanks Sydney! Xo- TX

    Reasonably good cocktail menu and it's two for one on Thursday evenings. A great venue inside and out, with Salzburg's Stiegl one of the more unique tap beers.

    Great food, friendly staff and a wonderful Saturday night out. Read the other foursquare comments and don't understand the complaints. Recommended.

    Dress fancy or risk being turned away at the door. More a ritzy Friday night out than a casual one. Wish they had the beer range of neighboring Lowenbrau though :(

    Don't let the bar staff convince you that Tennessee honey and ginger ale is a good mix. It's not.

    The music is like bad sex, stops when you expect a climax and the beat stops for spoken word.

    Odd new fitout..similar to Gazebo but no foxes and funky grapes. Grab a 500mL of Steigl and some sauteed mushrooms though and try to snag a black couch

    Avoid Friday/Saturday nights after 9pm.. Bar service is super slow - you'll get sober before getting your next round (responsible service for alcohol strategy?)

    No affection allowed! Friends were kicked out for -- wait for it -- kissing! They are husband and wife. Honestly.

    Avoid this place for food. Chicken portion with 6 wraps had 3 tiny bits of chicken. Complained and manager tried to charge us $3 for more. Terrible service and food
