I’d give 5 stars for the venue itself and the music it provides HOWEVER the management, security guards and the girls they have at the door (River especially) need to pull whatever stick they have up their behinds out. You work at a nightclub babes you’re not guarding the royal family and their assets. I had kindly asked a security guard how I could get to my table that I had booked, firstly he ignored me and then when I asked again he responded in an annoyed tone to go back to the door and ask the lady named River, you’re right god forbid I ask someone who’s role involves customer service a question, my apologies. Only to be treated with the exact same attitude from River at the front - who continuously kept looking at me up and down like I was some sort of peasant asking for money when all I wanted to know was if I had a table included in my booking, she then calls down the manager because her job is too hard for her (poor thing) and this is where I can see where the rest of the team get their rude attitudes from - didn’t even catch his name but it’s not important as based on the reviews I’ve read I’m sure we’re all talking about the same person lol. I kindly told him I had a table with my booking to which he cut me off without letting me explain saying there were no tables booked for the night so I was wrong and that it’s $1000 to book a booth (he was insinuating I couldn’t afford it) so I had assumed the tickets had a table with a birthday package but the $1000 was paid upon arrival as that’s what most clubs do. And again before I could speak he told me all I could get was a free bottle of bubbly so instead of telling him my intentions of paying for a booth cause he was an outright tosser, I went back to good old River who continued to look me up and down and with disgust as I asked for that free bottle of bubbly. So I got free entry and a free bottle of bubbly and didn’t spend a cent on drinks as to not give these people my money. River, security guards and that thumb looking manager - perhaps you shouldn’t be in a customer service role if you can’t stand being around customers. Please go touch grass you lot.

To be fair, I’ve only been here…more than a handful for times but never had a bad issue/time…. I only rated four out of five (4/5) stars as it’s been far too crowded but as I’m lead to believe that’s the promotors prouder issuing far too many tickets for the venue to hold. However, I’ve always found the place to be clean (yes, even the bathrooms), security have been pleasant and mindful whilst doing their job in keeping all patrons safe. Drink prices WILL be a tad be more expensive BUT the venue IS located in darling harbour AND is a main source of revenue (especially when there’s an event) so what’s the big deal?! Don’t like the prices? Then don’t order the drinks…it’s the EXACT same in ANY venue (ie - cinema). The staff…never had an issue, in fact so helpful when pointing out the location of the bar, coatroom, toilets BUT they went above and beyond when I lost my ID at the Boulet Brothers event. I emailed and messaged the venue, both responded in a timely manner and on the same day. I was happily reunited with said missing property when I stopped by the venue. Both security and bar staff were friendly and attentive whilst listening and one staff member even checked the area that described AND the lost property box/area/hand in which either a patron or staff member found and handed in my ID. I was probably waiting at the bar, five minutes (maybe even less) to which I was in no rush and certainly didn’t not expect my ID to have been found or even handed in. Keep up the great work folks and I am humbly grateful that a staff member took the time, in order to assist me.

Honestly have never been treated poorer by security and management in my life.Was told it was $30 entry, so simply began to walk away with the group I was in. Was then told they could get us in for $15, of which all of the 5 people I was with entered and were 2, still charged $30, one charge $20 and one charged $10. They make up the prices as they go based on what they believe you are willing to pay, was approached by the owner who told me that I was rude for saying to my friends we can leave because $30 is too expensive considering we could get in to other places for $10-$15. Was told "I don't understand anything about running a business" in addition to him telling me how much his liquor licence cost, the wages he pays the staff etc. and how I was rude and couldn't get in anywhere else for cheaper. I was let in for free as it was my birthday which I was grateful for, but was told I was "the only one with a problem" as I wasn't willing to go in as I didn't find it fair for my friends to pay all different rates as they were taken advantage of. Ruined my 18th. Went to Scary Canary for $10 500m away and had a great time.Will be telling everyone to steer clear of Home bar. Must also mention, met a guy at Scary who told me he was laughed at upon entry and told he was too short (5,5) to get in. He was quoted $45 for entry.

Home The Venue is a fantastic nightclub that offers a truly unique and exciting experience for anyone looking to dance the night away. The club features two separate dance floors, each with its own distinct vibe and energy. The lower level can sometimes feel a bit crowded, especially during peak hours, but the music and lighting are always on point, creating an electric atmosphere that's hard to resist. However, if you're looking for a more relaxed and spacious experience, the upper floor is the place to be. The upper level of Home The Venue offers a more laid-back vibe, with plenty of space to move and groove to the music. The music selection is just as impressive as the lower level, with top-notch DJs spinning the latest and greatest tracks. Overall, Home The Venue is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a night of dancing and fun. Whether you prefer the energy of the lower level or the relaxed vibe of the upper level, this nightclub has something for everyone. The music and lighting are always on point, and the atmosphere is electric.

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced customer service as great as what I’ve received from chatting with this venues social team (instagram). We were trying to find a suitable venue to have a large event (hiring vip booths and all for a large group of people). After chatting with multiple venues (in regards to whether certain members of our group would be allowed in due to having lots of tattoos including face & throat done myself included, and having received rude & snobby replies from other venues in the area) - Home bar has absolutely won us over with their friendly customer service & people skills, we are having our event here and we can’t WAIT! I’ve also visited this venue a few times over the years and every single time I’ve had the best night. From bar service, to cleanliness, to atmosphere, music, efficiency of their security guards, literally everything was A1. Cannot fault this venue in any way shape or form!

  • Tori hahn

Home the venue has multiple dance floors with different music and always has an amazing vibe! Tickets are cheaper if you pre purchase online rather than buying at the door. The event nights are always amazing I’d definitely suggest going to one if you haven’t been!! Home made Saturdays are also really good. You can guarantee a good time. It’s great for when you want to listen to different music but also you don’t have to go to the extra effort of trying different clubs! They have different lighting etc for the different rooms and the main stage has some pretty cool features depending on the night (e.g, a huge disco ball, confetti from the roof etc) Its close to various hotels if you’re staying in the city and also within walking distance to town hall station (though you may need to catch a night owl depending what time you finish).

  • Daniel J

Rude security guard telling me on the Weeknd night that I was in the wrong queue when lining up to enter. There were people in front of me but he accused me of pushing in. He stated that I was actually in the exit queue but there was no signage so how was I supposed to know. Additionally, the whole pathway to enter was packed full of people so if that was indeed an exit queue, that would be a massive WHS concern because if there was an emergency no one would have been able to leave in such a tight space. Please train your security guards as well as put up clear signage in queues in order to prevent confusion as well ensure the safety of your patrons. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

  • Shan Max

I noticed This place is scams money for start with they charge you $35 that's fine each time u got out from the venue they charge u back another $10 witch is a joke drinks are more like a you buying a 3 dollar redbull but charge with vodka $15 witch is no vodka in that drink what so ever even though u can't even finish our drink when it's come to half way while we r at the dance floor 2 meters away drinks goes missing obviusly bar attendees keep taking them back and we gotta keep buying them and repeat the process with is goanna cost almost 300 dollars have u guys ever noticed the toilets it reminds my trip to 3rd world country last year absolutely disgrace.

  • Jacquelyn Harrington

Paid 20 dollars per ticket for an event in the rooftop Cockle Bay Wharf entrance which took an hour to even get into due to overzealous security procedures. Security guard made up false stories and said we pushed in the line when there were clearly two lines separated by a queue rope and people were in the line in front and behind us. They then proceeded to go through my phone without permission and check for vaccination status and my debit card because apparently one form of ID is not sufficient? Absolutely ruined my night with the vulgar language and left after 20 minutes. Will not be returning!

  • Uddhav Gajurel

I’ve been going Home the Venue for more than a three years now .I’m gonna hate Google for not having zero star , but I’m feeling horrible for home the venue because they allowed such a event organiser who are promoting like they have a future as a headliner artist but in reality they have Mula feri , joke after covid. Guys future is metaphor. Price for liquor was abit overprice that’s okay , and the number of bartenders were understaffed . Condition of Washroom was (-) star . How can I give a star so I hate google for not having negative star .

  • Sunni Wan

Walked in through cockle Bay wharf, they should put signage as we went the wrong way initially. There were two checkpoints where they checked your ID. Then there's a feature wall where you can take sticker photos and a 360 video (but the video never arrived via SMS or email). A can of Canadian dry was $15, and this is meant to be for uni students so that's quite expensive. DJ's were good. The outside area was refreshing and you had the view of Darling Harbor. It's an ok place but there are better options to go clubbing at.

  • Jay Kay

Cool venue, such a shame the security guards ruin the experience completely. I arrived sober and was told to leave shortly after my second drink. When I simply asked for a reason I was met with hostility and even threatened. After texting my friends what’d happened they spoke to the ‘security manager’ who told them they don’t need a reason to kick me out and there’s no way I’m being let back in. This happened months ago but I still haven’t forgotten. Don’t waste your money here.

  • Prashant Bhandari

Home the Venue left much to be desired. The sound quality resembled a distorted cacophony more than music, making it impossible to enjoy any performance. The management team seemed oblivious to the chaos, displaying a lack of organization and professionalism. The service was abysmal, with staff members appearing more interested in socializing than attending to patrons. Overall, a disappointing experience that I wouldn't recommend to anyone seeking a quality nightlife venue.

  • Gennady Yashmanov

After visiting HomeSaturdays I have concluded it as being the best club I have been too, from having its own app for rewards to FREE entry on your birthday to closing early morning instead of 2am, this club gets a 10/10. Yes the drinks might be expensive but that’s the club that’s what happens at a club. Best people and best atmosphere, nice security, that the club is one of a kind. Should visit! I come every Saturday so come out say Hi!

  • Louise Johnson

Paid over $100 to see live music at this venue and couldn't see a thing. They oversell tickets to make the most money possible and don't care that fire exits are blocked which puts everyone in danger. The top section was crammed with ppl which meant you could barely walk and coulnt see the stage. Half the audiance had no view of the stage at all and left. Not worth attending any events here.

  • Yumiko Young

The venue itself was fine and the staff and security were lovely. I went with three of my friends and we were all charged $35 even though downstairs security told us it would be $30. Later on we ran into two guys we met outside of the bar and they showed us that they only paid $17-$20. They came through the same way and were two people behind us in the line.

  • Zak Karolic

They hosted us for a celebration giving us two tables at discounted price for the ocassion. Cam was a legend making the booking process super simple and super accomodating. Kirra our hostess is the best hostess i’ve had in all my table service experiences. Would recommend to anyone who’s looking to celebrate any significant event and worth every cent.

  • Nathan Taing

Had the Junny concert here and the workers at the venue was so great! Offering to see if anyone wanted drinks while lining up and the security staff were so funny and still held their ground in the safety of others and the performers. Would love some more information provided when it comes to email information or website for ticket purchases.

  • Sam x

I recommend this place if you're visiting Sydney and want a night out on the harbour, great views, 10 min walk from town hall. Multiple dance floors, they were playing Hip Hop, House, EDM. There's a lot of couches for taking a break from dancing. However they didn't clean puke on the dance floor or sweep up cups the whole night.

  • Julian Doyle

Security guards are bored and have nothing better to do than make mountains out of molehills. Have never seen them intercept dangerous behaviour I seem to only see them intimidate patrons and watch over us like chaperones at a year 6 disco. Guards are meant to keep us safe not ruin our experiences that we pay good money for.

  • john Drewry

It was an absolutely amazing Halloween party! The best one that I've ever been to. Cameron was amazing with the VIP table process. He took care of us, and made sure we had everything we needed that night. If you're looking for a place to party, home the venue will never disappoint. 5 out of 5 stars.

  • Callum Vittali-Smith

Impressive venue, especially when multiple levels are open. Have had some awesome techno and trance events here, as well as being a great location for the annual Your Shot comp. Security have always been friendly and staff are sound. Wish it was open a bit more often.

  • A C

The venue itself is great, but pity about the security. Our friends were allowed outside for some air by security, but once they tried to re-enter, the security guard would not let them enter (even with their ticket) unless they paid $100 for a wristband. Appalling.

  • john Johnson

Paid $200 for VIP ticket to Legendary Legends drag show and could not see anything, very disappointing. Not even any video screen to view from VIP area. Home is not a venue to host VIP viewing parties! I want a REFUND along with 500 other dissatisfied customers.

  • Anatoli Tsitaridis

There is only one good staff member here and his name is tony! All the bar staff and people on security were insanely rude and ignored me most of the time or made me very uncomfortable. I would definitely not recommend anyone go here. (Unless it’s for tony)

  • Christine Starr

Great club, chilled water is easily available, they host great events and DJs. Both the main area and the rooftop are great! The rooftop has great views of darling harbour too, but I found it wasn’t well signposted and a little tricky to find.

  • Kristi Knight

The venue was so overcrowded. I've never been packed in so tight at a venue. I paid extra for a balcony view but unless you were front row on the balcony, you couldn't see anything. You couldn't get to the bar at all. I was very disappointed.

  • Ghansham Bhutrani

Club with a good vibe, energy and a lovely mix of people but the DJ did a poor job. Couldn't lift the crowd even with the classic fail-safe EDM jams of Avicii and Martin Garrix. The music could really improve. Likely really.

  • Tayla Novelli

Home was the first place I went to when I was 18 Im now 31 and haven’t been this excited to go back to a club!! And to grace one of their stages for your shot A DREAM IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT !!! Thank You HOME

  • labs Jee

I Got pat searched extremely thurougly and had my man hood fondled by some bouncer. I didn't know security had that power and im pretty its illegaly . but next time atleast buy me a drink first next time

  • Jenny Peter

Cameron was absolutely amazing and he was able to rectify our problem immediately. Very prompt replies and amazing service. He was able to sort out our VIP BOOTH and looked after us. Thankyou so much

  • Lee Butler

Had the best night at Magic Men, fantastic guys & they looked after everyone really well. Loved it, if you get the chance to go see this crew of hunky men do it❤️‍❤️‍❤️‍❤️‍ …

  • Chatsuda Thitinasakul

BEWARE the bartenders tried to overcharged me after a few drinks. They tried to hide the amount on the eftpost screen everytime that I was paying. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK BEFORE PAYING. BIG SCAMMERS

  • Andrew L

The team behind this venue are absolutely brilliant, I had the pleasure of communicating with Sophie and she's awesome! It's a great venue and the team of organisers will always help you out.

  • Isabella Cester

One of my favourite venues in Sydney! Lots of open space and many rooms to suit all kinds of taste. The staff here are so lovely and we’ve never had a problem. Will be back soon!

  • Charisse Ponce

I had so much fun and exciting experience. The music was great and the crowd was fun. Everyone was just enjoying the night and partied till dawn. Highly recommended …

  • Brenda Almeida

the “manager” is extremely abusive to clients, he mistreats people, offending and talking them down. Truly thinks he’s above everyone, forgetting something called ethic

  • kelsey purser

the staff let women into the men’s toilet with no problem making other men feel uncomfortable. when i raised this concern with staff they literally had zero concern.

  • Dallas Davies

The staff where helpful, and the venue is cool. Drinks are fairly priced. The Artist Caberat is a must see next year if they run it again... Please do it again!

  • Nick Lazaredes

Awesome night. Totally pumping and happy sublime crowd for the reunion. I hope they are more frequent as they are fabulous events and much fun.

  • Harry JC Bjerre

Rees accommodated our every need and made it the perfect night! Would 100% recommend you go here for your next event if Rees is hosting !

  • Jay Emo

Fantastic multi-floored venue with some of the best production/sound systems that Sydney has to provide! Highly recommended

  • Joanne Nguyen (Joanne Nguyen)

HOME bar is great! Cameron looked after us at the VIP booth. It was great! Great service and a great place for a good time

  • Jessica Feyder

Music was awesome but top level room filled with the thickest smoke. If you had asthma you would die within 2 hours.

  • sebastian cortes velasquez

Techno rave apparently is finished too soon, besides that, the main stage has a nice show but simple music

  • Tiana Moini

Homebar is the best venue to be at!! Best events and such a great vibe. Would recommend to everyone.

  • ADSM ////

One of the best spots in Sydney, Homemade Saturdays are always busy and amusing.
