  • There is a place called the 'keys' down near the harbour that has good restuarants and some Aussie bars. I felt quite at home here as the Aussies drink as much as the Brits. A drunken Aussie can seem a bit brash but the best way to counter this is to get smashed yourself and then you don't notice it. Avoid Kings Cross area unless you are after sleaze, sex or dope (so I have been told).

  • There are several good pubs along the road leading from the Rocks area into the central business district. It is best to start at one of these for happy hour to hang with all the business-types just getting off work. Then head over to King's Cross for a livelier scene.

    We enjoyed wandering around the Harbour and The Rocks on a Friday night. The place is full of people looking for a good time among the open-air bars and eateries. Music and loud cheerful voices fill the streets and lure you inside the various pubs. Certainly, there's a place here to fit any taste, so there's no need for specific recommendations. Just wander around and follow your instincts.

    We were wearing clothes, but other than that I can't recall our dress, and we were never denied entry anywhere.

  • Great world music and very funky atmosphere... always guarenteed a good boogie to some wicked percussion.

    whatever you feel comfortable in (but i'm not sure if they let boys in with sandles and shorts.. i don't know)

  • Directions: Underneath the Harbourbridge on the side of the Rocks... If you are at circular quay, walk under the bridge and you will see some old warehouses, and in one of these... ask someone if you can't see it

    A great Irish pub and a backpackers favorite. We went on St. Paddy's day and it was a blast.

    I guess you should wear something.

    Position yourself right smack at CIRCULAR QUAY or THE ROCKS area on New Year's Eve to catch the spectacular fireworks! Or you can also choose to dine at one of the many lovely restaurants located along The Rocks - facing the Sydney Harbor (like what we did)... and you can still get to see the fireworks! The fireworks that night started promptly at 9 p.m. and lasted for a full 15 minutes or so. O.K.... The Sydney folks are a real friendly bunch i.e. they'd just grab anyone and everyone along the road, streets etc... and kiss them. So, be prepared to start fending off all these men who seemed to find great joy doing just that (Note: These guys don't look like Brad Pitt. So....). Alternatively, stay put inside the restaurants and party there. The folks who dined at these restaurants are better behaved.

  • Old Town is fun, but it closes early by U.S. standards. People make up for the short hours by drinking real fast. It is a great area to watch and meet people.
