Sydney is a beautiful and majestic city in Australia. A city of relaxation and enjoyment. It does not have an excessive number of attractions, but those that are, are known all over the world. Here the pristine nature and modern technologies created by man miraculously intersect. Nature and beaches beckon tourists, and architectural structures awaken interest in excursions to the outstanding and memorable places of Australia and its delightful Sydney. It is a noisy, creative, crowded and multinational metropolis, the inhabitants of which somehow miraculously manage to maintain a special Australian relaxation and ease.
One thing is certain - you won't be bored in Sydney.
Nightlife: Bars
There are bars and clubs for every taste. Even the recent squabbles over new laws limiting the opening hours of drinking establishments have failed to kill the city's nightlife.
If you're after good old English pubs, head to the Rocks area. Sydney's oldest brewery, The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel, serves freshly brewed local ale. There are also the Fortune of War and Hero of Waterloo Pub if you are interested in this kind of fun.
If you are like the views, an absolute favorite is The Opera Bar, located near the Opera House. The Marble bar will amaze you with exquisite 19th-century interiors.
Bars with great music are on bohemian King Street in cheerful Newtown. Oxford street is full of popular alternative establishments. There are inexpensive bars for backpackers in the Bondai area. And of course the controversial King's Cross offers a good selection of drinking spots to suit any wallet size.
Many bars are called hotels, for example, the Kings Cross Hotel, but that doesn't mean you can stay overnight there - in most places, it's just a tribute to tradition.
According to the new law, most establishments in the central districts (lockout zones) stop admitting visitors after 1:30, and at 3:00 they stop serving alcohol. In practice, many bars close earlier, around midnight, so you should check the timetable before going anywhere.
Nightlife: Clubs
There are clubs in different areas of Sydney. But most tourists think of King's Cross when they talk about the city's nightlife. The famous red-light district, the nest of vice, noisy, cheerful, depraved. Every traveller should drop by at least once at night to get the picture of this city’s flavor.
Another popular nightlife destination is the Oxford street neighbourhood. This traditionally gay-friendly area is open to people of all orientations and attracts with its extravagant atmosphere.
The same restrictive measures are applied to clubs in the central zones of the city as to bars: at 1:30 they stop admitting new visitors, at 3:00 they stop serving alcohol.
If you prefer live music in a tranquil place to dancing until the early hours, check out Soup Plus on George Street or The Basement in Circular Quay. Jazz, blues, folk or funk melodies organically fit into the space of the halls, creating a cosy and somewhat homely atmosphere.
Where can you go:
Oxford Art Factory
A club, or a bar, or a stage? All together. After the band's performance, the curtains are closed and the main hall becomes a dance floor. Nearby, on a small stage, the party continues with funk. Sometimes theatrical performances or comedian shows take place here.
Jurassic Lounge
Every summer on Tuesdays from 5 pm burlesque, live beats and alcohol shows reign among the dinosaurs, whales and skeletons of the Australian Museum. Here you can dance on a silent disco, tell fortunes on that guy with glasses on Tarot cards, play bass in a hall with human skeletons, go bowling among kangaroos.
505
This club can be called the centre of Sydney's bohemian life. Jackets, silk scarves, moustaches and red lipsticks come here six days a week to listen to jazz and classical music or dance at live bands. For those who like to relax with a margarita or martini, there is a rich cocktail menu; for those who like to relax with Margarita or Maria - big red sofas.
For lone wolves
And if you are lonely and searching for an unforgettable night - the best known and finest Sydney brothel is here for you! A secluded spot for all those seeking luxurious and opulent adult pleasure.
Conclusion
Sydney is a city for true cosmopolitans. Australia has a lot to offer tourists, but its largest city breaks popularity records. Here you can easily find all that you seek for. So, what are you waiting for? Start packing. It's time to go to the city of sun and sand, a true paradise for fans of entertainment and night-life.
