Great place for a few end-of-night beers. Can be quite gay sometimes, and other times its more straight. I wish it would make it's mind up. Used to have the ex manager from The Bentley, Gar, there. Totally mad, sound guy

having lived on flinder st for 8 months this was my regular and i loved it.....its a bit seedy maybe but we never had any problems aside from in the surrounding area. As for the middle bar, the place is ok but them bouncers are dickheads. They deserve a slap.

Had more bad experiences than good here. Was once denied entry to the upper level because I was not Gay. Been denied entry countless times into the middle bar due to ”Private Parties”. Once inside middle Bar the air wreaked of pretensiousness and powdered noses. A place to be seen if you think you are somebody. And yes the crematorium days can still be smelt. Very Unhappy customer!

I always have a great night at Middle Bar. The music is fantastic on Saturday's, the vibe is awesome, i have found the bar staff great, they cope well with the crowd. It has a good mixed bunch of people, most of whom are friendly and much more down to earth than people in other Sydney bars.

Sundays can be better if the music/DJ played longer and better beats...get rid of the Staunch bouncers and bloody drunks out from Saturday nite.

SACK THE STAFF, I often come to Kinselas everytime Im over from NZ, I use to find it was a good place to meet and the staff seemed friendly enough, upon returning this time I found that most of the staff I met last time had quit, this was dissapointing as the replacements were no where as good. Middle Bar well what can I say ......SACK THE GAURDS then you might get a good crowd up there.

After trying to get pass the two dickheads on the front door to middle bar I found the staff to be rude and the bar too cramp. Downstairs in Kinselas I was offered drugs several times form different people. The staff diddent seem very happy and when I tryed to make a coment to the manager he was in coherent as he was drunk. i personally wouldnt return as I found out there are much better bars closeer by. I would really get rid of the two gaurds on the middle bar door they do nothing for the hotel and its image, the manager should join them.

considering it is an old funeral parlour, it has some great decor! There is a huge mix of people here, very friendly staff and a great table and stools facing the windows overlooking taylor square. It's a gorgeous pub!
