After 17 years of raging business, The Argyle is calling it a day.

Located in the vibrant Rocks, The Argyle has long been a staple of the city’s nightlife scene, playing host to several major events over the years.

Over nearly two decades, it has cemented itself as a popular mainstay on the competitive hospitality strip, drawing in partygoers and music lovers from near and far.

“For nearly two decades, we’ve been the backdrop to some of Sydney’s biggest and most epic nights. From local legends to multi-platinum international artists, we’ve partied with the best, and none of it would’ve been possible without you,” The Argyle posted on its social media profiles on Wednesday.

The nightclub has announced a “stacked the calendar with some mammoth events” as part of their closing down shenanigans.

“The party is far from over Sydney, and we can’t wait to party with you one last time!”

The Argyle’s closure is part of bold changes being implemented by hospitality giant Hunter St. Hospitality and Pacific Concepts, which also owns Rockpool Bar & Grill, Sake and The Bavarian.

The appointment of new chief executive Frank Tucker has seen a push for more high-end restaurants as opposed to nightclubs in the area, which sees a lot of tourist foot traffic coming from Circular Quay.
