Rate That Club

[benm]

Righto since members of this forum cover a large area across all of Sydney it would be great if a list of popular nitelife hangout spots could be created to assist people from other areas that are looking at venturing out. This could be a list of Pubs, RSL, Clubs, Raves, etc but not restaurants.

I'll create the first review to give the template and everyone else can continue:

URL: http://www.jammusic.com.au/thechineselaundry/

Open: Fri nite after 11pm

Ideal time: After midnight on Friday night

Entry Fee: $15ea (International DJ playing bumps price up to $20)

Music: Breaks

Dance Floor: Yes, 2 rooms

Seating: Lounges

Pokies: Upstairs, yes

DJ's: 2 Rooms... many DJ's over the course of the night

Dress code: Very relaxed. No stubbies and thongs obviously, but they definitely wont bump you if you arent wearing $600 sunnies and a Tsubi T-Shirt

Bars: 2 - Beer on tap + premixers... the usual

Parking: Secure parking available nearby, but it usually closes at 3AM.

Positive Comments: Suited to a slightly older crowd (20+). Relaxed attitude. Often international DJ's. Awesome local DJ's too. This club is for people who enjoy their breaks music! This place has been my favourite club for years!

Negative Comments: Parking can sometimes be difficult. Slightly small. Sometimes crowded.

Rating: 9.5/10

--- I've included a dress code in mine, because a LOT of clubs have a dress code (some require collared shirts etc.)

Name: Kink @ Arthouse

Location: Arthouse Hotel, 275 Pitt St Sydney

URL: http://www.eyecandyentertainment.com.au/

Open: Sat nite from 9pm

Ideal Time: After Midnight

Entry Fee: Usually $25 each. Contact them for group bookings which drops it a bit

Music: House & Breaks

Dance Floor: Yes, 2 rooms

Seating: Seats and lounges

Pokies: No!

DJ's: 2 Rooms... many DJ's over the course of the night

Dress code: VERY sctrict. See Comments.

Bars: 2 - Beer on tap + premixers... the usual

Parking: Usual Saturday night city parking - CRAP!

Positive Comments: The eye candy at this club is EXCELLENT. Music is pretty good depending on your taste, as there is often an international DJ playing some commercial stuff.

Negative comments: You either have to look like a million dollars (worth of clothing OR plastic surgery), or be able to knock out the door man to get in after 12:00. You need to be dressed well to get into this club!! Also most nights it's 50/50 guys to girls entry after about 11PM, so a bunch of guys alone will not get in.

This club is less about the music and more about the 'scene'. If thats what your into, you'll have a great night!

Positive Comments: Nice place to start the night with a beer, or as a last resort when some of your mates get rejected from elsewhere! Usually always heaps of people around. Really relaxed place with (usually) very friendly people. Nice place to hang out before or after a big night.

Negative comments: Parking can be difficult, but this applies to most of Kings X. Only occasionally has 'danceable' music (of any sort).
