Stonewall Hotel — Restaurant in Sydney

I went to the Stonewall for the first time last night. It was a friends birthday, and 4 of us were having a drink, quietly at a table. I went outside by myself for a cigarette, and when I tried to go back inside, I was stopped by an extremely rude woman, and told I was too drunk and was not allowed back inside. I had consumed a couple of ciders , and was by no means drunk. I asked if I could tell my 3 friends that I had been kicked out ( they were sitting near the entrance, but too far away to hear me due to loud music). She said no. I asked if she could tell them so they wouldn't worry if I just disappeared. She said No. I'm a 58 year old business woman, and was just having a nice Anzac Day, but I had to stand outside the door on Oxford Street waving my arms trying to get the attention of my friends, so I could tell them. I am disgusted by the rude and bullying behaviour of this woman. She could have been polite, asked me what drinks I had consumed, and even if she wanted me to leave for whatever reason, let me notify my friends. There were several very drunk men (as it is a gay bar) jumping around dancing, and extremely drunk, but nothing was said to them. Such a shame that this person, who I was told is a Manager, does not know how to do her job properly, in my opinion. I was polite, but she was aggressive and not a good representative of this bar. She certainly does not know how to deal with people, particularly someone she accused of being drunk. Number 1 priority is to not escalate the situation, but fortunately I'm very easy going. Had I actually been drunk, and an aggressive person, her behaviour could have escalated things. Very unprofessional and disgraceful behaviour. From reading recent reviews, this seems to be a big problem at this venue- it's just a pub, and their staff need to learn how to deal with people in a...

I just went to the Stonewall Just after finishing a long day of work at 01:20 AM. I asked at the door if it was still open (since I didn't know the opening hours). the guy at the door was extremely rude to me. he mocked me to my face for asking such a simple question. He spoke to another woman who was also at the door mocking me for my question. she also answered me with an irony. I asked him if he was real and she said yes. Any way, I find it regrettable that a place with such a reputation treats its potential clients in this way. I work in hospitality and this behavior of your staff leaves a lot to be desired. they made me feel really bad, when all I wanted was to go in for a beer after a long and tiring day at work. Neither I nor any of my friends will ever go to a place that treats their customers like this again. after the response of the person at the door I just said ok and went to another bar. I'm sorry that he needs to treat people that way to maybe feel better about himself. it is a situation that I simply do not need and that I will not expose myself to. so I just said ok and left. his behavior is completely deplorable, unacceptable and very rude. never...

Fab club to club in although some patrons and out of towners on weekend afternoons seem to have forgotten the meaning or don't realise that the hotel/pub is named after the Stonewall riots in NY in 1978 and they lose perspective of the meaning of the club and their night which makes them question the doormen and either on why they're not allowed in after "dark" - locals & patrons can be confronting and arrogant after one too many drinks

Barmen are friendly and the pub suits a 2nd & 3rd floor

Great place to be after midnight. Overall - security are really busy with wannabees that ruin the night with Lady Gaga innuendo and local Double Bay, Potts Point neighbourhood having nothing to do with Kings Cross or what Darlinghurst is after midnight. One should write to the Sydney City Council or the establishment on standard drmidnight

Well dressed rich suited guy with his lover has forgotten it's a gay bar & Darlinghurst having drinks with his girlfriend club

Really embarrassing for security and above all - really ugly questions towards other patrons from patron to patron and dramidnight

Draq queens drag on a conversation here and make the...
