“Say what you want about Sydney nightclubs — you can still find a solid dance floor if you know where to look. Even the best clubs in Sydney have had a rough few years: between lockouts, shut downs, and early close times, the city hasn’t exactly gained the best reputation for nightlife.”

“Between the lockouts and the lockdowns and a literal rule for no dancing back in 2020, dancing feels like a hard-won pastime in Sydney. Thanks to some groovy planning around the city's nighttime economy and a lot of energy and resilience from our nighttime industries, Sydney's Footloose days are well and truly behind us.”

“It doesn’t matter how crowded or empty it is – tequila bar Centro 86 is always a vibe.”

“Tio’s has been one of Sydney’s favourite spots for a margarita since 2014. The vibes at this Surry Hills bar are Mexican cerveceria-meets-antique store with a quirky and cool setting that’s as curated and distinct as sibling venues Cantina OK!, Bar Planet, Centro 86 and The Cliff Dive.”

“What do strong coffees, adult entertainment and Italian scooters have in common? They've all lent their names to varieties of martini, and right now, Sydneysiders can't get enough of them.”

“"Drink with me, to days gone by. To the life, that used to be. Let the wine of friendship never run dry."

That's what the compatriots sung in Les Miserables, on the eve before their untimely demise at the hands of the establishment. And that's the merry spirit that should follow all of us in Sydney, in light of some of the foreclosures at some of our most beloved haunts.”

“Our half-year dining report card shows that despite the many challenges facing the hospitality industry, there’s plenty to get excited about.”
