The Apollo restaurant in Potts Point now turning away anyone with less than 5k Instagram followers

Apollo management says the rule aims to ensure the restaurant keeps attracting the “right crowd.”

“We need to keep the riff raff out, especially during the busy summer months,” says manager Joel Kentworthy.

Door staff are checking the instagram follower counts of those walking in off the street.

And patrons must now have at least 5k followers to make a booking.

“In addition, we reserve the right to turn away anyone who we suspect may have purchased some of their followers,” says the manager.

And he says anyone rejected from Apollo who still feels like eating Greek food is more than welcome to grab a souvlaki at any takeaway place nearby on Darlinghurst road.
