On Tuesday nights, we explore some of Sydney’s best bars around the CBD, with a focus on the “Bermuda’s Triangle” of small bars spread across York, Clarence and Kent (YCK) street precinct.
On Wednesday nights, come check out quirky Newtown with us, including Enmore Road (recently voted as one of the coolest streets in the world).
On Thursday nights, we hit up Circular Quay and The Rocks, where a bunch of fantastic new cocktail bars have opened up in recent years.
On Friday nights, you’ll have fun in the southern end of the city centre, including a visit to the Chinatown night markets and Thaitown, the hidden gem of Sydney’s CBD.
And on Saturday nights, we head to our favourite stomping grounds of Surry Hills and Darlinghurst, so you can party like the weekend it is!
After the bar crawl, we'll provide you with a map link to all the bars and places visited throughout the night, plus some extra spots to check out.
