Sydney's controversial lockout laws are set to be wound back, with Premier Gladys Berejiklian ordering a review, saying it was time to "take stock" and rethink the laws.

The move to set up a cross-party committee to examine the laws comes ahead of a push in the NSW upper house from the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers and the Greens to scrap the lockout.

Shooters MP Robert Borsak and Greens MP Cate Faehrmann have each tabled motions to get rid of the laws, which apply to clubs and pubs across Sydney's CBD and Kings Cross.

Ms Berejiklian said it was now time to revisit the laws.
