    Would recommend the happy hour menu ! $6 drinks and $1 oysters! Otherwise, the actual menu and food is not the best. The pork belly was mushy, no crackle and the slaw served with it was over seasoned with salt! Eggplant skin was tough, calamari was barely on the plate and was mostly just onion rings instead. Pekin duck crepes were not bad. The only good dish was really the truffle mash. Really just paying for ambience, live DJ and atmosphere. Service was super friendly though !

    The food was really bland, was not too appealing. The service was great and the pizza made up for the score, the crunchy texture and the cheese made it extremely delicious. The platter wasn’t too good. The bruschetta was also another factor that pulled the score up, the cheese was delicious and the tomatoes were sweet.

    $1 oysters for oyster happy hour and cheap drinks everyday. Easy to get a table on a Sunday afternoon, with great friendly service.

    I visited here a handful times for happy hour drinks but last night’s experience with food was poor. We ordered the sharing platter that came with chicken wings which somewhat tasted sour and slightly off but being non-picky eaters we ate it nonetheless, also, assuming that food quality control is up to standard and maybe the sauce itself was meant to be sour. However, this morning I had the worst upset stomach for the first time in a very very long time - and it takes a LOT to upset it, given that I pick random berries off unidentified bushes and eat it sometimes and still be okay. It really put me off so probably not eating here again for a while :(

    Originally posted 5 stars but then I started hearing things that happened that I wasn't aware of. I was told seating had been reserved for up 35 guests but the seating we were given couldn't seat 20, it was free of charge so I can't complain much. However, there was another function on the same floor who's host abused 2 of my friends when they tried to order a drink and was going off at the staff, giving us dirty looks all and being overly angry because we were in his presence. Aside from that it was a nice place to drink and hangout, it's just a shame no one dealt with the aggressive patron

    10/10 for ambience, a lovely venue, 4/10 for food... Not sure if it was a mistake or if my palate was just not mature enough for the level of food they serve, but my steak tasted like fish and was difficult to enjoy. The bread was good though.

    Hidden upstairs off Fort Lane alley lies an old world eatery and cocktail bar. Opulent meets industrial... DJs, hanging vines and winding cocktail supping catacombs. Not exactly exclusive or hidden... or accessible price-wise but it's a fun hang and a great date locale. Just mind the many, many stairs, posh waterfront folk and hard-to-find bathrooms. Deff worth a visit tho.

    A great place to hang out with friends. Nice decor and atmosphere with really friendly service. The booths are comfortable for a small group with just enough privacy and table space to share a few small plates. The small plates larger than the usual tapas sizes and a great option to share between a few people. The scallops were perfectly cooked and so was the calamari which is not easy to do! The Peking duck actually has the flavours of ones you’ll find at a Chinese restaurant. Overall, great food. Highly recommended.

    This place is actually amazing! I've been here a few times and the food is always amazing and the staff are the best! Our waiter (think his name was Alif) tonight was so considerate and went above and beyond despite being super busy

    I had to wait a while to be greeted/ seated. Also they don't do cocktails? So the happy hour is only wines etc.. not usually what i would expect for happy hour - bit weird. The fish main I got was nice. And the truffle butter in the Croque monsieur my friend ordered was delish ( although the bread was a bit burnt and it did come out a while after the other 3 dishes we had ordered, so my fish was cold by the time we had everything on the table.) We weren't blown away by the carrots or bitter Lettuce side dishes- Felt they were missing some heartiness or rich flavours. Wish there were a few more main and appetiser options honestly. Cool venue, but overall was a bit average. Also music was blasting from the other side of the room so we had to shout the whole time to hear eachother..

    Came for a birthday party, and the staff were so nice and accommodating!!! Especially Reeyce, who went above and beyond to make sure we were having a good time!! Would definitely go again purely because of the staff, thanks for such a good night :))

    Great location for drinks with comrades. It's been awhile since I've been back and for some reason I've not ordered food but will do this next time for sure! I've been to private events here - a 50th and a wedding so it is a popular event space.

    Went on a thursday night for dinner. Location is good. Food was good, nothing extraordinary but good. Music was great (they had a dj). They seem to have different kind of music every night. Service was good overall but at some point we needed the waitress but she was probably having her dinner break and there was no one to help us.. so we just had to wait until someone else came at some point later on. The decoration is interesting, a bit eclectic? Probably a good place to go for drinks during happy hour more than for food?

    Was there for an event and it was a great experience. Drinks were a bit on the pricey side.

    Nice people, the place is really nice, i loved the decorations, the plants, the outside deck, and the music was great!

    Came here for dinner. This has one of the best steaks around. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere is great. My partner had the stuffed mushroom which was flavoured well. I had the rice dessert which was well presented and tasted well with delicate flavours. I would recommend this place to anyone for any occasion.

    Will absolutely be back! We ordered a few platters and drinks and all were delicious, would get the meat platter over the vege one but a good amount of food for the price. CJ and everyone on Thursday were absolutely brilliant and made our night. Cheers guys, we’ll see you again soon

    So good. $6 beers during Happy Hour. Unheard of!!!! Really cool crew at the bar happy to chat different drinks etc. Thank you.

    Always a good place to chill! The happy hour deals is to die for. The pizza is very soft and its full of flavour! Totally worth it

    Arrived at 5pm for the Oyster Happy hour. Ordered and paid straight away only to wait 45mins to then be told they had run out. The “manager” was rude and condescending. If your not happy with your job, leave. Your attitude and persona was evident the job wasn’t for you. We were offered a credit for any item on the menu but decided to get a refund and left. Very disappointing

  • 3/5 dsm 1 year ago on Google
    Cool place , ide love too share some knowledge too the staff , bit they'll get there. That one guy though ,I won't elaborate as the manager was amazing in remedying the situation. Good food very decent portions , could lay off the cook on the prawn toast slightly and add a creamy sauce on side of meatballs. But man what a vibe and the decor wow. Keep going guys!!!

    We had my cousin’s 21st here up stairs :) 26.11.22 lovely venue, food was great and bartender was friendly. Nice relaxed chilled venue with the DJ down stairs if anyone wanted to dance ☺️ I would recommend getting any speaking/speeches out of the earlier before it gets noisy :)…

    Great food. Great ambiance. Great service. Landed there at happy hour and topped up on some Prosecco. Highly recommend their prawn toast and hempseed sourdough with mushroom butter.

    We came by for drinks for graduation. Look for the sign on Fort Street and then head up the stairs. The outdoor area looked quite nice and the dining area was towards the back of the building. They did have a nice selection of drinks.

    Held my son.s birthday here. Ella and the team were amazing. Our guest enjoyed the live DJ, raved about the food and loved the venue. Thank's Everybody's, definitely recommending this place.

  • 5/5 Lisa A. 2 years ago on Google
    Everybody's is great, awesome atmosphere but it was our waiter that stole the show. He was entertaining, had great food and beverage suggestions and just made our experience even better. Food was delicious.

  • 5/5 Tee C. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the different pockets of social spaces, caters for all ages! The Suite upstairs, luxurious booths to Garden bar vibes! The staff were super friendly & helpful, great service. Absolutely beautiful venue, the food was divine! Secure convenient parking not too far. We would highly recommend this venue for your next special event! Thank you for the great memories!!

    Went with work colleagues as part of a work thing, but the music was way too loud for me, and I couldn't hear what people were saying so there was very little conversation. Then they seemed to turn the music up louder. While there I downloaded a decibel measuring app on my phone and it measured it as jumping between 80 - 85 decibels. If that's your thing then you'd enjoy the place, but if you're looking for a restaurant where you can have a conversation then don't come here. I should have read the reviews that talked about how it can't decide if it's a restaurant or nightclub. After a while I couldn't stand it anymore and left without eating.

  • 2/5 Wendy M. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice restaurant but can't seem to figure out whether to be a restaurant or club. Loved the interior and design, lots of potential to succeed. The wait staff were horribly undertrained.Why would a main of steak come before the starter 🤔 The chef was clearly not impressed as one could see as he kept ringing the bell when food was up,only to be ignored. The chef did his part and the flavors were good if not cold. Upon leaving we were presented with a bill to pay which was a third of what we had for dinner ( someone else's bill which we rectified) Will mention 2 glasses of wine were covered but on a 250.oo bill it was inconsequential. Just sadly not impressed what had started as a nice evening out First time here and probably last unfortunately.

    Surprise 30th Birthday for my partner's 30th. Such an easy setup with James, thank you very much for that. Also, Aidan's cocktails went down a treat and the team looked after us really well, mention to Kev. I would highly recommend an event at Everybodys.

  • 5/5 Reuben B. 3 years ago on Google
    My girlfriend and I came in for dinner and a couple drinks and the food was delicious. We had the scallops and the pecking duck for starters and the sirloin seak and pork belly for mains. The pecking duck was super flavorsome, easily my favorite of the four dishes, so definitely get the duck.

    Had our wedding there on 30 January 2022. Despite on-going covid news we couldn't have hoped for a better wedding. Staff was amazing and the event manager is super flexible and cool to work with. Thanks again for making our special day run so smoothly. We've had great feedback from all guests about the venue and food!

    Good place for catching up with friends and colleagues. Food is tasty and reasonable price.
