sydney clubbing

Not gonna lie, my now 18-year-old cousin froths over this god-forsaken place. For what reason? I have no idea. The mating grounds of all of north-west Sydney's fresh out-of-school youths. This place has not once failed (in my 4 adult years) to be a high school reunion every Friday night. I imagine the most popular drink here would be a vodka raspberry. I actively avoid the place for this reason. On a positive note, showy maccas is located just across the road. God bless showy maccas, god bless.

The suburban, 18-year-old's rite of passage would not be complete without: a teapot in their mouth a cheeky cig  an overcrowded boogie next to a group of sweaty, freshy caucasian men  seeing their local drug dealer on a Wednesday night and maybe accidentally hooking up with their third cousin  Welcome to World Bar - a place of teacups, tragedy and endless streams of snapchats of people showing off their outfits from general pants with the caption "it's Wednesday my dudes" (see below). An accurate depiction of the youth/s It has since closed down due to shitty sales from the implementation of lockout laws (god i love the nanny state).  Thank you for your service, World Bar. You will not be missed. 

Chinese Laundry aka your favourite munt den(Sorry Candy's) is the place to be when your 10 caps deep and love the smell of sweat and lack of air circulation. Just a 10 minute stroll from Town Hall Station, entry cost can vary greatly depending on whether a big artist is headlining. If you love low ceilings, dark crowded places and sausage fests of men chanting 'woop woop' in a circle then I can't recommend a better place!

Pontoon Bar is one of the many bars scattered around Darling Harbour. The closest train station is Town Hall or Wynyard, approx. a 10 min walk down to the Harbour.  The great thing about Pontoon is that it's one of those venues that are always bustling. Despite the long lines, the waiting time is surprisingly is never very long. RnB/hip hop is the main genre played here, expect to hear a mix old school classics and newer tunes. Drink prices are standard, not as cheap as Star Bar but not a small fortune like Ivy. 2019 update: I take it back, pontoon is horrible do not go there . I am no longer 18 and no longer think this place is cool.
