CTA Business Club reviews

4 Star Review by Cassandra M.

Finally I know what's inside the mysterious Space Mushroom. I'm giving it four stars because you have to specifically be looking for a timewarp to enjoy this place. The food is, well, 1970s RSL standard: edible and economic with no modern flair. The decor is untouched: carpets on the walls, wood-paneled bistro, very unique atmosphere. Reminds me of The Shining hotel. It's basically a bunker deep below the MLC center. Solid silence. Extremely friendly staff, almost ethereal... my partner and I exchanged quiet jokes about them being ghosts...? For a good fifteen minutes afterwards, we were genuinely disoriented being back on the streets of Sydney. It was so peaceful and archaic down in the CTA. It's such a weird and special place. I hope it stays.

5 Star Review by Frank Fenech

Had lunch there with my daughter in law and the food was great.

5 Star Review by Nuala Fogarty

I Loved CTA Business Club. The Bistro serves Stadium Club Food at a reasonable price. Very cheerful & friendly Staff. There is a Bar, Bistro & Reading Room with a Grand Piano. The Decor feels like 1 is in a 1970's Time Warp.

5 Star Review by Henry Midgley

A hidden gem! A time warp back to the 70s, but a great atmosphere and fantastic decor - retro to the point you couldn't recreate. Reasonably priced beer and ok schnitzels

5 Star Review by Ines Anaya

I'd love this time-wrap to remain as long as it can. It's not for everyone. It's an oasis in the CBD indeed. If you want to pay for your steaks, there are lots around, elsewhere (not even A5).

5 Star Review by Alice Moon-Star

Such a cool looking building, so space age and fun!
