Established in the 1960s by Zhongshan brothers Keith and Denis Wong, the Mandarin Club was for many years a major focus for Sydney nightlife. Not least because it was one of the few venues that stayed open late.
In addition to sponsoring international bands and stars, ranging from Sammy Davis Junior, Shirley Bassey and Bob Hope to Maori bands, the Mandarin Club was also the first Sydney venue to serve Yum Cha. Though at first this was a serve yourself style.
