Kings Cross Pubs & Clubs

Renowned for its colourful nightlife, Kings Cross Sydney is full of pubs, clubs, cabarets, bars and nightclubs. From swanky lounge bars to raging dance venues, classy clubs to adult strip-shows and drag, there are plenty of places to drink, dance or be amused.

Soho Bar and Lounge on Victoria St is one of the most popular places to be seen, set in a revamped old art-deco pub, a relaxed style drinking lounge with sleek leather lounges. Usually very crowded, The Bourbon on Darlinghurst Rd, with nightclub upstairs, is a hip, young venue well known to locals.

Arcadi bar on Oxford St Darlinghurst is ultra-cool with a selection of 70 Russian vodkas, artsy décor and tends to attract Hollywood celebrities.

Try Lotus Bar at Potts Point for cocktails or the W Hotel at Woolloomooloo which boasts the Water Bar, a stylish affair amidst high ceilings and luxurious décor.

Stonewall (Oxford St) hosts nightly drag shows, a popular spot amongst the gay scene. Head to Arq Nightclub for a fun, gay dance venue, or to Baron’s nightclub for a more Bohemian style in Kings Cross. Tonic Bar also has a relaxed, alternative atmosphere.

Wherever you end up, the range of nightlife in Kings Cross is never dull.
