We ordered the steak but it arrived and it was very fatty and not rendered at all which meant that we couldn't enjoy it. The cocktails were good but the service was mixed.

Just went for drinks before dinner. Cocktails we had were very nice. It's a fun location, like heading into a air raid shelter. The seating could be a bit more comfortable but generally a fun location

Dined for a business meeting at Door Knock on Friday. I love inviting people here that haven’t been before, the entry experience is like no other in Sydney, and sets the mood right, from the start. Alcohol selection is thorough, menu has great shares, and the service is delightful. Will be back and would highly recommend.

Loved our visit. The service was the stand-out - thank you for looking after us so beautifully. Food and drinks were really good - especially loved the Mac n cheese croquettes. It was a bit too noisy for us, we couldn’t really hear each other but that wasn’t because of the music but more the volume of the group sitting next to us. It was also too dark to read the menu without using a torch - minor points though.

Great find! Will definitely go back. Would have been perfect aside from a grumpy waitress who seemed to take slight offence at our ability to eat the popcorn quickly and slammed the bowls together while tutting! Great cocktails though and great ambience and would highly recommend :)

Cocktail list was short and fruity, lacking in variety. Food portions were tiny - snacking ONLY. Best thing were the Mac and cheese croquettes 5/5 Service was cold and without a smile. Otherwise the place is nice, good ambience and pretty bar.

This place is ridiculously overrated. It was so hard to get the attention of staff to address the fact that I had a steak that was 1/3 fat and sinew and inedible. The entire menu was pretty mediocre. The cocktails look good on paper but have one overwhelming flavor and not much else. Waste of money.

Great location and atmosphere. However its a bar and the focus is on drinks. The food is very average with very tough steaks. All other food was fair.
