The Most Legendary Club Nights in Sydney, Australia
Sydney’s ‘lockout laws’ might have poured bucketloads of cold water on the Harbour City’s nightlife, but there are still cracking club nights to be found around town every night of the week. Whether you’re looking for live music, backpacker bars, uni nights or LGBTQI venues, you’ll spot a night out for you in this list of Sydney’s best club nights.

5. Home The Venue — Homemade Saturdays
101/1-5 Wheat Rd, Darling Harbour NSW, +61 2 9266 0600
When it comes to dancing until the wee hours on a Saturday night in Sydney, as the cliche goes, there’s no place like Home. Homemade Saturdays brings a diverse lineup of DJs to an even more diverse crowd of tourists and locals that flock to this Darling Harbour super-club, with techno, trance and house tunes spread out over three levels and eight rooms.
6. Ivy Pool Club — Marco Polo, Sunday
Bar, Wine, Beer, Australian
7. Sly Fox — Birdcage, Wednesday
Enmore’s favourite late-night venue hosts Sydney’s favourite lesbian night each Wednesday, serving great-value drinks specials and local DJs until 3am. Sly Fox enjoyed a redesign in 2015 that injected the inner-west institution with a retro 1970s ‘key party’ vibe but the commitment to quality live music hasn’t wavered, especially on Birdcage Wednesdays.
199 Enmore Rd, Enmore NSW, +61 2 9557 2917
8. Scary Canary — Wet Wednesdays
469 Kent St, Sydney NSW, +61 2 9267 7087
Those same backpackers make a beeline to this inner-city Kent St venue on Wednesdays for a club night that’s every bit as rowdy as it sounds. Scary Canary delivers cheap drinks, foam machines, a huge dance floor and a crowd of international party-goers who aren’t fazed its a school night.
