Things to do in Sydney, New South Wales: The Best Nightlife

June 27, 2021 Marlin Saiz

Sydney offers plenty of historical and contemporary Australian flavor. The marvelous Sydney Opera House looks like a great origami sailboat, floating peacefully in a harbor. Wander the narrow cobblestone streets of The Rocks and then take in a street performance on the Circular Quay before heading into the Museum of Contemporary Art. The views from the Sydney Tower Eye observatory are epic – use this chance to get to know the layout of the city from high above.

The Baxter Inn

Reviewed By AnnCederhall - Sweden, null

If we hadn't been told by a Aussie in Canada about this place we would never have found it and it was the best bar experience in Australia ever - the greatest place and the friendliest staff I have met in ages, what great people and what a great place. Very hidden though and it sure gives a speakeasy impression i.e. hard to find. Can't wait to go back when in Sydney next time.

The Lord Nelson

Reviewed By M7025NQtonyw - Sydney, Australia

When visiting The Rocks area it is recommended that you drop into The Lord Nelson brewery pub, especially if it is around lunchtime or dinner. The pub is great, serving real pub food in an old stone building that just reeks with history. However the real winner is the beers that are brewed on site with the Three Sheets pale ale being one of Sydney’s best craft brewed beers. Worth taking the time to visit.

Eau de Vie

Reviewed By jsarahlat - Sydney, Australia

Went here to chill on a friend's birthday after dinner. Great service from Paulo and cozy ambiance to just relax after a busy day at work and celebrate. I heard it was very busy during the weekends. Will definitely come back and checkout the espresso martini.
