The perception of nightlife in Sydney isn’t as good as it once was. Despite the removal of lockout laws, the development of new bar hubs, and the establishment of a 24-hour economy commissioner to regulate kick-ons, perceptions of nightlife remain dim, according to Benchmarking Sydney’s annual Performance Report.
Grasshopper
One of the best bars in Sydney is the Grasshopper. This laneway bar is hidden away on a side street off George Street. It’s a popular spot for Sydney hipsters and suits. This laneway bar serves a range of drinks and food and is one of the best in Sydney.
There are two levels to the Grasshopper, one of which is the cafe. It’s open Monday to Friday from 12pm, and on Saturday from 4:30pm. The restaurant serves food and cocktails, and is also known for its seven-course dinner menu. You’ll feel like you’re dining in a French bistro.
The first Grasshopper bar has just opened in Sydney. Lane way bars are popular in Melbourne, but Grasshopper is the first in Sydney. You can get a similar experience at the nearby Shady Pines Saloon and Sticky Bar in Surry Hills. However, since the Grasshopper bar is a new establishment, it can be difficult to find.
Opera Bar
Big venue has a casual atmosphere and an outdoor area. It serves pizza and other bistro foods, as well as cocktails. The outdoor area is covered, making it an ideal location to enjoy the night. It is also dog-friendly, so you can walk around and pet the dogs while enjoying the nightlife.
The Opera Bar is situated on the waterfront, so you can enjoy the views while sipping on a beer. The bar also offers oyster shucking and plates to share. The bar also features live music and DJs. It’s an ideal spot to go after work or have a catch-up with friends.
Opera Bar is a popular nightlife venue in Sydney, with regulars coming from all over the world. It is also home to Sydney’s most famous beer garden, with its own homemade brew and a dazzling view of the harbour.
Waywards
Waywards in Sydney nightlife is one of the best places to see a headline act in Sydney. The comedy club features a rotating roster of national and international acts, and tickets are only $10. Aside from its top-notch line-up of live shows, Waywards is also a good place to see drag shows. Every week, Waywards features a new headliner comedian. This week’s headliner is James Smith, an Australian comedian with experience in both the theatre and music industry. His comedy has been featured on shows such as Conan and Comedy Cellar. He counts both Bill Burr and Chris Rock as friends, and has regularly supported Amy Schumer.
Whether you’re looking for an after-work party or a night out with a friend, Waywards in Sydney nightlife has something for you. Whether you’re looking for a great DJ, a fun place to meet friends, or a place to dance the night away, you’ll find it at Waywards.
Tunnel
If you’re looking for a Sydney nightclub, look no further than the Tunnel. This club has a reputation as one of Sydney’s most exclusive. Located in Kings Cross, this underground club attracts a youthful crowd that enjoys R’n’B and techno music. Its owner, John Ibrahim, was once a reputed mob boss, but the venue has since changed hands.
The club’s name was recently added to a list of Sydney’s ten most dangerous nightclubs, and its nightlife will soon become even more restricted. New laws in NSW will force the nightclub to lock its doors at 2am, and the venue will also have to follow a stricter lockout policy. Violence at nightclubs in NSW has traditionally been associated with bikies, but there have been reports of shootings outside the club.
While the Tunnel offers a smoky atmosphere and a range of live music, there are also more intimate venues to satisfy a party-loving crowd. Home boasts multiple rooms, a powerful sound system, and a spacious dance floor. The venue also features a dog-friendly environment.
