Assiette

Local foodies lamenting the loss of Bécause were delighted when Assiette arrived with its fine modern European cusine.
Clock Hotel

This place surges into life after work with locals revelling in happy hour throughout its four bars.
Goodbar

One of Sydney’s most popular and longest-established nightclubs.
Hotel Hollywood

This grungy dive bar is the perfect antidote to the super-glam Sydney experience. Meet groovy art students, designers and musicians.
II Baretto

It’s always packed and you can’t reserve, but they’ll send you to a nearby pub and collect you when a table’s ready. Cheap, authentic and delicious pasta.
Light Brigade Hotel

Bypass the spruced-up sports bar and head upstairs to a fantastic bistro-pub for an Asian feast.
Mahjong Room

Shanghai-style Chinese food, served on carved wooden mahjong tables, offers that important comfort factor.
Middle Bar

Sip a cocktail and watch Taylor Square from the balcony of this bar, which maintains the perfect balance of glitz and hip.
Red Lantern

A relaxed atmosphere and red interior add to the fun, but also go for the fresh and spicy southern Vietnamese food and good vegetarian options. Booking is essential.
Uchi Lounge

A small bar specializing in saketinis, its warm but minimal design provides excellent environs for the fusion French-Japanese food.
