▢ Book NowAbout Employees Only Restaurant & Bar
Step behind the curtain on Barrack Street—Employees Only is a high-octane collision of masterclass mixology and surprisingly serious culinary chops. Vintage ambiance, unapologetically loud beats, packed heel-to-heel. Cocktail purists consistently point newcomers toward the Amalfi’s Pearl—a brilliantly balanced pour—while late-night dining squads demolish rounds of crispy mushroom croquettes. The kitchen absolutely delivers; their steak arrives with a flawless cuisson, drenched in a punchy green peppercorn sauce alongside blistered broccolini. It’s a sensory overload—live entertainment, nostalgic tracks, a dining room that seamlessly morphs into a lively dance floor. Yes, the floor staff hustle hard—sometimes resulting in overzealous glass-clearing or a chaotic rush when the room hits capacity—but that electric, unbuttoned energy is exactly the draw. A certified knockout for group celebrations and high-spirited after-work drinks. Grab a booth, trust the bartender's specs, and lean into the beautiful chaos.
- Masterful Mixology: Expertly crafted cocktails, with specific praise directed at balanced signatures like the Amalfi’s Pearl.
- Elevated Bar Fare: A menu that punches above its weight, featuring standout mushroom croquettes and steak paired with green peppercorn sauce.
- Electric Atmosphere: A loud, vintage-inspired space boasting live entertainment and nostalgic music that seamlessly transitions from dinner to dancing.
