The Argyle

The verdict

Comprising six unique spaces, this sprawling, heritage establishment in The Rocks is a go-to for after-work drinks for inner-city workers, special events for big groups, and a destination for out-of-towners. From intimate cocktails in the Belvedere Bar or a private party in the Reibey Room, there is a space for every taste and occasion, and with a rotating roster or international DJs, there's plenty to keep you coming back, too. On the food side, there are dumplings every day from midday to late (perfect for a late-night food craving), with self-service ordering making the process super-easy. More hearty dishes include roast peking duck pancakes, tiger prawn salad and salt and pepper squid.
