The Argyle Sydney reviews
5 Star Review by Kajal Ishwarpersad
No many food options but as a bar it's well work it. Happy hour is absolutely amazing especially with their fishbowls. Atmosphere is always great as well, staff seem super fun and also look like they are having the best time
2 Star Review by Simmi
Only 2 stars because the toilets need an update. You can never tell if they are in use, didn't have soap and it was just filthy since it's unisex smelling like pee everywhere. Also doesn't have access to the second floor for a pram let alone wheelchairs. The staff were lovely though and help us up with the pram. Plenty of staff during the South African Food Trail event to collect rubbish from guest so it was surprisingly clean (wish they did that for the bathrooms).
5 Star Review by Dima Istambouli
This is the place you want to be on a Wednesday night if you are the type of SALSA person... I was beating the cold night outside just because I wanted to dance... it was my first time exploring this place and this type of set up. The teachers were amazing, giving lessons of the BASIC steps with plenty of repetitions to make sure everyone gets it. By around 8 the music was full on and everyone was simply enjoying the time, dancing with whoever is free. The food is really good, My Pinot Grigio was simply outstanding. They offer happy hour before 8. The team is so sociale and friendly.. I enjoyed the night and I will definitely join the wednesday night club.

Argyle is the place to go if you a) are an 18 year old or b)just finished work in the city and need happy hour (5-8pm). Argyles happy hour menu as well as food menu actually used to be quite decent, however, I dont think its too fabulous now. In the middle of the night ladies also come out with trays of shots going around to each table for $10/shot. Not sure how RSA appropriate that is considering they wouldnt know how much each person has had A redeeming factor, however, is that the bar staff are incredibly nice and fun.
4 Star Review by Nubia Chen
Great deal for $5 pizza on Sunday night till 10pm, and good price for happy hour, but we missed the happy hour, then I order the Long Island ice tea for $20 it was very bad traste like chemist and got charged wrong price extra for the other drink(husband didnt check the price) The only very good thing was the security let us get I. With kids for the pizza till 9pm, the kids experience very different place.
1 Star Review by Chi Yat Lam
Honestly any reviews above 1 star must be questionable. The Argyle sums up everything that is wrong with Sydneys nightlife. Massively overpriced drinks, aggressive security on power trips and rude bar staff. Be prepared to be aggressively quizzed by security about how many drinks youve had before you can get in and be slugged $15 for a beer. Avoid at all costs.
