The Gidley Apply Now

About The Venue The Gidley, tucked beneath the streets of Sydney’s CBD on the corner of King and Elizabeth, is an opulent steakhouse where fine dining meets semi-respectable displays of gluttony.

Guests descend a dimly lit staircase into the Lounge Bar — an intimate haven of plush furnishings and quiet corners. While their table is prepared, they settle in with a stiff drink and soak up the old-school charm before being welcomed into the lavish Dining Room.

Here, guests sink their forks into prime cuts, sip on bold reds, and immerse themselves in the jovial spirit of golden-age hospitality.
