Sydney Night Clubs and Nightlife

Discover Sydney night clubs and nightlife! Everyone who’s a local knows that Kings Cross is the place to be on a party night. Kings Cross is the intersection of Victoria Street and Darlinghurst Road, which is a quarter mile stretch featuring bars, clubs, strip clubs, burlesque shows, video shops, massage parlors and much more. The action and entertainment in the area usually gets going around 10pm so if you’re a visitor to Sydney and want to party this is the place to be.

Locals are more prone to frequent Oxford Street, which is between Hyde Park and Taylor Square. Here you’ll find numerous bars, eateries, novelty stores, pubs, massage parlors, fetish clubs, and some of the best dance clubs in Sydney. Oxford street is also known as a top destination for gay and lesbian partiers that are looking to dance, club, drink, revel and frequent the nearby Sydney fetish clubs.

Another Sydney nightlife district is along Cockle Bay Wharf located in Darling Harbour – the restaurants, bars, gentlemen's clubs, nightclubs, and pubs are especially popular during the summer months. When someone refers to nightlife and entertainment in the Rocks they’re talking about George Street, which attracts an excitable, younger crowd.

If you’re looking for a Sydney entertainment guide while you’re there the ‘Sydney Morning Herald’ daily entertainment section is one of the most useful information guides available. It covers all of Sydney’s special events like concerts, bands, and featured DJ’s; it provides information on nightclubs such as the type of music playing (techno, house, rap, 80’s music, top 40, R&B, live bands, pop, and hip hop); it tells you where the best deals are for liquor, beer and wine at nearby Sydney pubs and bars (ie. Beer specials, shooter and highball specials); it’ll outline different types of entertainment venues such as jazz clubs, reggae bars, latin-oriented clubs that often feature salsa dancing lessons; and it’ll provide ads and information about local Sydney alternative clubs, Sydney gentlemen's clubs, and fetish clubs.

For more club scene information you can also pick up a free copy of the ‘Beat’ available on the internet and in local cafés, or check out the ‘Sydney Star Observer’ which outlines all the gay and lesbian hot spots in the city. ‘Lesbians on the Loose’ as well as ‘SX’ list local events, pub, concert, nightclub, and bar info.
