Bouncer and bar staff are nice. Management is terrible. I had the worst experience with a judgemental and prudent lady manager. I am well of age and had planned to have some drinks with 15 plus friends at this bar. I was let in the door and had my Victorian valid drivers license scanned at the door and approved by the bouncer. I went to order a drink and was asked for ID. Odd because I was already proven to be of age by being let in the bar in the first place. The prudent lady manager viewed my ID and said it’s fake! I pleaded that it was not fake and had my bank card and multiple other cards to prove my identity. She would not accept any of those which is understood as they do not have photo ID. ALTHOUGH bar staff and the bouncer were content that I was of age and with my bank cards proving my name and date of birth, as well as working with Children’s proving my photo identity. The manager however was stubborn and kicked me out. I was fully compliment and quite upset as i had planned for everyone to attend this bar from previous good experiences. My main issue overall was the poor regard to customer service by the manager and poor human decency. I question weather your ID scanner is legitimate? I do really hope she fixes up her act as you have now lost 15 of age regular bar hopers and word of mouth is a very powerful advertising technique that will now be used to dishonour your bar name ‘Lydford and co’.

Came to the first taco and tequila night afew weeks back. There were us and one other table seated in the venue. Would not recommend, margs advertised as $10 online but $12 at the bar and are not mixed on order but are premixed pored from the tap. As for the tacos we were told to order on the app the app as none of the staff couldn’t do it for us which the app was also wrongly priced compared to the paper menus and we could only order 3 of the same flavors other that mix and match. When we asked staff if they could help they had no idea, we skulled our drinks and walked out.

Staff were great, great atmosphere and moderately priced drinks. Though was not impressed when I was insulted by the management. With a party of about 30 people, most of who were drinking considerable amounts, I was not drinking as I had to work the next day and I was minding my friend's bag as she danced. I was approached by the manager and instructed that he does not run a f****** charity and that if I was not drinking I could take my handbag and get the f*** out. Very disappointing end to a good night.

Love a local bar with a dance floor. But the DJ lets it down. Plays the same music in exactly the same order every Saturday night. Give it a test, request a song, he’ll never play it because he’s just for show. Just puts on a playlist and pretends to dj. What a bore! If you want repeat customers get a real dj. Or at least mix up the music instead of playing the same playlist over and over.

Went there for a friends b-day, initially was very impressed with the decor and vibe. That was ruined but the manager coming up to me and my friend, neither of us wanted to drink that night and were minding our own business, and very rudely insulted us and then threatened to kick us both out if we didn't immediately buy a drink. Was not impressed and left shortly after.

Funky menu and cocktail selections, although the cocktail recipes were a bit hit and miss. It's advertised as a wine bar, but after dark turns in to a bit of a nightclub. There's some good bbq options on the menu, good spot to head in for chilled after work drinks and a bite to eat, but be prepared to head out early if the nightclub scene is not your thing.

Last time I went to this place I had a terrible time.. music was s**t, the floor destroyed my tns, stickier than cloud basement, and to top it off, I got kicked out because I had a cold and was sniffing in the toilets.. if you want to have a good time, this isn’t the place

Regulars. Love this place. Venue is nice, inside and out. Staff are lovey. Good music. Cocktails are a fun list! Not overly pricey and you get what you pay for. Food list is limited though however there’s plenty of surrounding places nearby to get that late night fix.

Average bar, minimal choice of drinks especially beer wise. Just a place for people to go out and party but music is nothing to write home about. Staff are friendly enough. But to say it's a place to recommend would be a stretch.

Mmmm okayyy. Would I go back? Probably not. Music on Sunday was good, but mixed drinks slash cocktails were horribly overpriced. Negroni @ $21 and not a full glass... geeez expensive for a venue that has no real draw appeal.

These guys balance high end food and 'out for a drink' vibes perfectly. Menu is simple, but everything is spot on. Drinks are made with love and service is fun and friendly. We had a great night catching up here

Really good atmosphere, moderately priced drinks and great, inexpensive food. Great for a Sunday session, or a big night out on a Friday or Saturday night, just get there early to avoid queuing up to get in.

Worst service for a place that had 2 tables seated. Food was over seasoned to the point it was inedible. Got told to fetch our own napkins after none were brought with our food. Complete waste of money!

This place has changed hands a few times now. If U hasn't been for a while, it's worth another look. Food was great. I'm yet to experience the vibe of the night life, but good food is a good start.

Mimi, Nick & Ellie are the absolute life of this venue, they made my birthday absolutely amazing. Thank you so much

Cool little bar, conveniently located on Nepean highway. Great little place for Baysiders to come have a drink after a week of work. Great tunes, great gin cocktails and great staff! 5 stars!

Good little spot for few craft pints of beer, open late weekends with fun young crowd and dance floor with DJ. Great for locals who like to get out for a bit of a chat and few drinks.

Hosted a baby shower upstairs, and attended a 70th upstairs. Food was good, bar for your party, smokers area on same level.

Went to a friends party we had an absolute ball and loved the drinks range. Fun atmosphere and good place for a dance without going into the city.
