Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There is no question CAMELOT LOUNGE is the best music venue in Sydney. The variety of world-class musicians and singers is truly amazing. Whether it's a tribute concert such as the one to Van Morrison, or gypsy inspired M.Camembert or the amazing Nadya Golski singing French songs, the artists are simply superb.
We went with a party of 20 to the M.Camembert concert a couple of weeks ago, and our party plus the packed audience were over the moon with pleasure. Bravo
What always adds to our enjoyment is that the limited menu mainly pizzas are always cooked to perfection and oh so tasty.
We're going on Saturday to one of our very favourite acts. Baby et Lulu, the incredible talents of Abby Dobson (Leonardo's Bride) and Lara Goodridge singing their fun versions of classic French pop songs, always supported by fabulous musicians.
Prices for the shows, the food and the drinks are extremely reasonable. Important in the current economic situation

Shows can be good, food mediocre but above all the administration is hopeless.
No response to emails, phone calls to them are met with a voicemail saying emails only.
Which are then not answered.
Bookings are taken through a third party agency which cannot assist.

Reason for my one & only visit , was the mens toilet had one cubical, no urinals, cubical needed a door to be lifted, and moved into place to provide privacy. Dirty filthy place. Sadly, great entertainment.

I frequent the Camelot lounge which means that this review is mostly positive. However it was disappointing, the last two visits, to hear the lead singer of Mr Camembert gleefully, disdainfully announce “ And for the vegans we have nothing !”.
For your information Sir, your chef can make a couple of lovely vegan pizzas without cheese.
I’m not vegan but do take offence at your small minded meanness at a small group of people who are trying to make a positive change for themselves and for the world.

I'm so sorry Minh-Thu - I cannot apologise enough that this caused offence. I was actually trying to be totally ironic, as suffice to say the Inner West has a great deal of vegans, and we are indeed in the Inner West heartland. In similarly feeble attempts at humour, I have told people that the food here is lousy, and that only one person the previous week got food poisoning. I've spoken about how low-cal our (high calorie) desserts are, and I've often enthusiastically plugged food items that are not (and will not ever be) on the menu, like Prawn Bisque, Chicken Cacciatore, etc etc, and again it's my rather sad attempt at being tongue in cheek. Again, please let me express my apologies and regrets to anyone that took offence. We do indeed serve delicious cheese-less pizzas, which are very popular, and negate the comments I was making. I shant make any such jokes in future, and I really appreciate your review and your frequent patronage of the venue.

last week we went to see Mic Conway in his vaudeville show at this venue. Great performance in a nightclub type atmosphere....drinks are reasonably priced, food was ok..staff friendly and happy..also close to the station so transport is not an issue...will go to see more shows here..

When you go for a music event the food is secondary but the Camelot Lounge provides delicious pizza that’s nice and thin just like the Italian’s intended.

I wish I had discovered this place sooner! We went for the Music of Sting and the musicians and singer were great with a relaxed atmosphere.
The food and drink was good and very reasonably priced. Can't wait to go again.
