CULT — Restaurant in Sydney

Went for a hen party with the $85 package. It gave us a glass of sparkling on arrival, all three classes, the show, entry to Cult, and a booth for our group. We did life drawing, and that was fun. Not awkward, if a bit rushed. Just a bit of a giggle for the group, and a great way to help break the ice. Pole dancing class, where the website said it would be just your group, I assumed they meant in private - but what they meant was just your group on the main stage in front of all the other groups, and only one or two of your group at a time. There wasn't time for everyone in the group to have a turn in larger groups on the night. The cocktail making class was honestly a bit of a let down. It was watching the bartender pour alcohol into a shaker, give you the shaker to do the shaking, and then hurried back off again once the drink was poured. No option for other drinks, and you couldn't get cocktails at any other point in the night. The show itself was fine, with each dancer getting progressively better of the three. Be prepared to see very, very risque moves - think Magic Mike, but without Channing Tatum, Twitch, or Joe Manganiello. The biggest disappointment though was that it is very clear that you are supposed to leave basically immediately after the show. The topless waiters vanished. The DJ left a quite melancholy female artist only play list that definitely doesn't make you want to dance, and makes you very much feel like the night is over. All in all, I would recommend if you like a super rowdy and risque hen's, but if you want to spend more money getting into another club after, or if you want to go...

I recently visited this venue and had a very disappointing experience. I have an injury and wanted to enjoy the night like everyone else on the dance floor. I placed a stool next to a column on the edge of the dance floor, where I wasn’t in anyone’s way. This allowed me to be part of the action without disrupting anyone or the space.

However, security told me I had to move far off to the side, away from the dance floor, where I could hardly hear the music. I politely explained that I needed the stool due to my injury and that I would stay close to the column and move if the floor got crowded to ensure safety. Unfortunately, the security guard showed no concern for my situation and insisted I leave the area. In the end, I had no choice but to leave and go home, feeling unwelcome and excluded. Discrimination against disable people is not ok. And venues doing it, should not have patrons supporting them.

It’s sad that this venue has no provisions for people with disabilities or injuries. I’ve danced...

THe more reports and complaints they get the easier to change things in these places. The manager who apparently is called “James” not only didn’t want to face us and talk to us, despite asking to talk to him several times, but apparently he saw my partner through the cameras and decided to not let him in because “THROUGH THE CAMERAS HE LOOKS DRUNK, ALTHOUGH HE DOESN’T DRINK A DROP OF ALCOHOL”. We requested several times for the manager to come outside and assess my partner in person, but he refused to come. I guess what the manager really meant is that “HE LOOKS TOO DARK”. Absolutely disgusting. Please, report this place to ACCC and NSW FAIR TRADING, if you encounter...
