About Employees Only
Commercial hits keep the room warm rather than loud — familiar enough to sing along to over a table, loud enough that by midnight on a Friday the space between the banquettes turns into a dance floor. The French kitchen anchors the evening, and the vintage fit-out suits couples settling in for a long one; private dining and table service are there if you want the night organised, bottle service if you don't. Saturday is the busy night, with doors from 5pm and closing at 3am on Friday and Saturday, while midweek winds up earlier — 10pm on Tuesday, midnight Wednesday and Thursday. Closed Sundays and Mondays. Smart casual is enforced, the crowd skews 25 to 45 and largely local rather than visiting, and the $$ band means an evening here doesn't need planning around. Barrack Street puts it in easy walking distance of the rest of the CBD.
