Ah Sydney, you make it hard for us to love you sometimes. Yeah, you’re beautiful, but seriously, when did you get so boring?
Since the enforcing of Lock Out Laws Sydney’s nightlife has faced what some have described as an epic demise. With venue closures, empty streets and a lack of events making their way to Sydney, they’re not far off. This week, 20 Sydney venues were granted lockout exemptions, and although it’s a positive step forward, we’re still not too pleased with the regulations surrounding nightlife in Sydney.
It’s not just Lock Out Laws causing us strife, certain residents have just totally forgotten what it means to have fun – pretty much summed up by this iconic Simpsons moment
Can we not let Melbourne’s ego to inflate anymore than it already has? They have cafe’s selling spoonfuls of Nutella for $5, let’s not let them think they’ve got a leg up on us…
The legends behind Keep Sydney Open have organised Meet Me In The Cross , and event tailor made to get you club hopping around the Cross like it’s 2011. Check out the incredible lineup here:
So, to get you in the mood to have the time of your life and totally stick it to old mate, Casino Mike and new mate, Gladys Berejiklian, here are some of Sydney’s most embarrassing night life f*ck ups.

When a gig got shut down because the band playing had too many members
Now we can’t blame this one on lockouts but it’s still pretty damn shocking. At the same time, we’re not even surprised though.
So this Saturday, club hop to your heart’s content and enjoy Sydney for what it should be – an exciting, welcoming and buzzing cultural hub.
