The World's Best Bars - Brooklyn Bar, Sydney, Australia - Review

Favorite

No it's not in Brooklyn and no I didn't ask why it's called Brooklyn Bar, however if you are looking for a big night out on the town then Brooklyn Bar should definitely be on the list.

For those who aren't Sydney locals, Brooklyn Bar, located on George street down the Circular Quay end of town has a bit of everything to offer on both Friday and Saturday. As a regular to this club, I decided to do what no regular bar and nightclub review ever does, and go there on both Friday and Saturday (It's a tough job).

If you are heading there Friday night, let it be known that this is the local bar of the Deloitte employees who's building is right next to Brooklyn Bar. Accordingly, if your idea of a great night out is to party with a bunch of rich accountants (and wannabe rich accountants) then look no further. If anything, accountants wearing $5,000 suits provides a great contrast to the venue which is part pub, part bar, part beer garden, part atrium and when 10 O'clock strikes... All nightclub!!! With regular events held there, if you are a tightarse or simply a poor uni student then get there nice and early to enjoy both free entry and great drink specials.

Saturday night, Brooklyn bar is a different place altogether. Suits are gone and it's party time for the under 30's. Playing a mix of RnB, Hip Hop and Dance music, for the George Street clubber, Brooklyn bar is definitely a place to spend an hour or two. We stayed there enjoying cheap drinks till about 11pm before heading to the Rocks to continue our evening.

The Best Bars In The World - The Pool Club, Sydney, Australia - Review

Publisher: barsandnightclubs

The Ivy is notorious for its elitism, expensiveness, and for just being luxurious in general. Naturally, when I went there I was uncertain of what I'd expect, but The Pool Club certainly does live up to The Ivy's reputation. Whether that's a good or a bad thing though depends on what you want from your night. Firstly, being able to get into The Pool Club is always a mission because you have to get into The Ivy first.

Australia's Best Bars and Nightclubs - Gotham Bar, Sydney - Review

Publisher: barsandnightclubs

If Oxford Street lives up to any expectations, it's the expectation of catering towards a niche. In an area where arts clubs, gay bars, and cabarets come out to play at night, it sure is a breath of fresh air to find a location that makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome no matter what time of day.

Biero Bar, Melbourne, Australia - Review

Publisher: Kat Pollard

Sometimes in Melbourne you get to experience the delight of walking down a seemingly empty alley and discovering a new little drinking spot to explore. That's the case with Biero Bar, located on the Williams Street side of Little Lonsdale, to the average eye it appears to be nothing more than a hole in the world, however to those adventurous enough to pop in, it's a sophisticated bar.
