Description
Sydney’s gay scene is renowned around the world, and a colourful collection of LGBTQ venues adds a splash of rainbow across this huge, progressive, cosmopolitan city. Whether you’re looking for a quiet beer garden on a Sunday afternoon or a pulsing dance floor at three o’clock in the morning, there are no shortage of fabulous LGBTQ watering holes located across Sydney. Grab a drink at these 10 bars around the Harbour City that guarantee a warm welcome for the queer community. Stonewall Gay Bar, Contemporary Save Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email Copy link Share Sign for a gay bar © RubyGoes / Flickr Sign for a gay bar | © RubyGoes / Flickr Located just a couple of metres from Taylor Square’s rainbow flag, Stonewall is the beating heart of Sydney’s gay scene smack-bang in the middle of Oxford St. Named after the New York City original, Sydney’s Stonewall supplies three levels of bars and live entertainment, including popular drag shows on Friday and Saturday nights. The bar also does its bit for the community, supporting a number of LGBTQ charities and organisations over the past 20 years.

The ground-floor restaurant Priscillas pays homage to the legendary Aussie film, rooftop bar Imperial Up serves delicious cocktails, and the Basement is a safe space for expressive dance and live performance, all making the ‘Impy’ an icon of Sydney’s bohemian Inner-West.

Grab a stool in the airy street-level bar and sip on a drink as you cast your eye over the colourful characters that stroll up and down the so-called Golden Mile – there’s always a good crowd for after-work drinks before things get wilder on Friday and Saturday nights. More Info Sly Fox Bar, Contemporary, $$$ Save Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email Copy link Share Sly Fox interior © Sly Fox Sly Fox interior | © Sly Fox This Enmore favourite attracts a diverse crowd but Sly Fox remains especially popular among the queer community thanks to Birdcage, Sydney’s favourite lesbian night, serving great-value drinks specials and local DJs until 3am every Wednesday. A 2015 revamp gave the place a retro 1970s vibe but didn’t change Sly Fox’s commitment to quality live music Wednesday to Saturday.

Sitting just off Oxford St, the cocktail bar, resident entertainers, deluxe lighting and sound system, and dual dance floors – upstairs for house and trance, downstairs for more poppy tunes – make Arq an institution of Sydney’s nightlife.

We’re talking daggy disco tunes, song requests, a well populated dance floor, and drinks flowing as steadily as the good vibes among the groups of friends who flock to Palms on Oxford for an unpretentious night out. Get there early on Friday and Saturday nights to avoid the queue.

Huge crowds flock from nearby Oxford St to the Sunday sessions in the leafy, sun-dappled courtyard before the party heads to the Upstairs Beresford dance floor later in the evening.
