Carlee PotterNovember 30, 2013For 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.
Khai Yi KhorApril 24, 2018Definitely should try the sweet potato fries and pizza! Loved the food and ambience.
MikeMay 27, 2011Its 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!
JarrodAugust 30, 2014Good 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.
Kunal MirchandaniAugust 2, 2015Well-designed interiors in a setting that respects (and even glorifies) its historic surrounds.
Paul CanterburyAugust 6, 2014Friendly staff and the mixologists know their craft. Great place to catch up with friends before heading out.
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.
Nicole SmithMay 25, 2012Really awesome pub. Quiet before 9pm and great for a meal but after that time prepare for DJs and a good time!
Nat MAugust 25, 2013Twenty 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.- Love the argyle... Seem to always be there everyweek with different group of friends.. But great place.. Fun people.. Great staff very chilled out:)
Quentin LafonAugust 2, 2014Probably one of the best places to chill out with a glass of wine in Sydney !
KatJanuary 11, 2013Beautiful atmosphere- stuck with beer and wine since they measure drinks pretty closely. Awesome vibe!! Thanks Sydney! Xo- TX
SebastianAugust 26, 2010Reasonably 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.
Adriano AraujoSeptember 29, 2012Liked the place don't know what people are talking about, i have been served well. It was not busy so cant speak about a busy night
Sarah CreelmanDecember 12, 2010Dress 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 :(
Electrified PerthNovember 30, 2012Don't let the bar staff convince you that Tennessee honey and ginger ale is a good mix. It's not.
Evan CameronMarch 9, 2013The music is like bad sex, stops when you expect a climax and the beat stops for spoken word.
Denea GourmetRabbitNovember 2, 2010Odd 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?)
ConcettaJuly 18, 2010#macict Look for the layar application on your iPhone apps. Find a picture of the argyle cut. Take a similar picture and post to twitter using hellotxt. Make sure u check in here.
Esth3r KJune 10, 2011So true. Lots of attitude coming frm the waitresses. Come on guys, we pay the bills, and more. Chill out!
Julia BrooksApril 6, 2011great place I had a lot of fun but far too expensive. 18$ for an havana&cold!
John DobbinNovember 1, 2011No affection allowed! Friends were kicked out for -- wait for it -- kissing! They are husband and wife. Honestly.
Robert Van VeenendaalMarch 10, 20112 for 1 drinks prior to 8pm. Queued up..7:53pm... My turn.. 7:55pm. Cash register issue...hey wait... Hey it works.. 8:01pm... Sorry no more 2 for 1. Sorry... Awesome service. Smart... Short term.- ConcettaJuly 18, 2010#macict Good work smartypants. The council will be impressed. Your next location is a safe haven.
Where I first met Patron XO many years ago. Best shot ever :)
AliceMay 19, 2010Check out the noodle markets on Wednesday nights, especially good on a cold May evening
Get drinks in batches of 6 so you don't have to wait forever in line...
Alex McDougallJune 19, 2011Cobble stones and heels do not mix, even if they put fancy red carpet down. Sweet layout though.
Will DeasyMarch 27, 2013Avoid 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

"Excellent sushi, sashimi and Robata dishes in a buzzy, cool and happening atmosphere. The new style sashimi is to die for. Try also the grilled eggplant, Scampi Tempura, and Nigiri Sushi set."
