The Dock

Redfern has plenty of bars, but this place is on the medal podium. Why? Drinks are cheap. Food is too. And thanks to the bar staff, it's laid-back even when the crowd isn't - dancing like loons until midnight. The staff really do make this place feel like home. So do their playlists - featuring everything you like, from Tom Waits to Run DMC.

It is one of the best things to do in Bondi. Head up particularly if it is windy because the photos of the beach when it is empty is even better. The food is pub food but it is good quality although on the pricy side.

Newtown Hotel

Behold, the new Newtown Hotel. A recent facelift of monumental proportions has seen this prime piece of real estate - once a dingy gay pub - transformed into a two storey powerhouse. Drink the day away on the upstairs veranda, if you can get a seat. If not, no worries. You can laze inside at one of the many booths. Or downstairs in the beer garden.

Try the music venue at 280 Cleveland St; soak up live tunes while playing checkers, order a cheese board between funk classics, or a boozy affogato while swaying to reggae, gypsy beats and contemporary jazz. Perhaps you'd prefer the theatre space at 342 Elizabeth St? There are over 30 shows scheduled in 2015, by emerging and established artists.

121BC sources their nectar from small artisanal producers, only serving Italian local varieties, so you can travel the entire length of the republic by vineyard. Like the wine list, the food menu is strictly Italian fare, packed with shareable dishes that you'll want all to yourself.

Head out towards the back of the Pavilion and you will find an adults game area where you can play ping pong, giant jenga, wall scrabble or anything else in-between. Great for those nights you don't really want to drink but want to go out.

Love Tilly Devine

You won't get punched, rinsed or stitched up. Love Tilly Devine is pure class. Its sophisticated aesthetic will please the most discerning palettes. The food and wine list are suitably suave. It's the kind of establishment Devine would have met a policeman she was bribing for a nip of whiskey, before sliding an envelope of cash across the table.

If you had neighbours like this you'd be inviting yourself over all the time. And the best part is they'd be totally fine with that. They'd never get bored of you. Never expect a gift. You'd just sit back and relax: downstairs on the street, watching Newtown buzz past you, or upstairs on the deck, pretending the rest of the world doesn't exist.

Carriageworks has something for everyone; and it's the gift that keeps on giving. The exhibitions are broad in scope. The performances are too. And the farmers market is brimming with deliciousness - fruit, veg, artisanal street food and simple pleasures. Plus there's an abundance of free samples throughout; olives and dips and chorizo, oh my!

Although the food menu is expensive, the furtherest section of the wharf permits alcoholic drinks (the rest is "family friendly"). Find a perch on seats or benches in the sun, send someone inside to the bar, and get ready for an afternoon of relaxed drinking.

We all wanted to run away with the circus once, didn't we? At The Bearded Tit you only have to travel through the front door to imagine yourself as a tightrope walker, fire twirler, lion tamer, or even the ringmaster. The fitout is meticulous, and to the delight of Carnivale purists it's totally freakish; not a hint of Cirque de Soleil to be seen.

Named after a New York biker gang from the 70s, this shadowy gem makes everyone feel like a member. You don't even need wheels. Just a rambunctious attitude. Then watch your ego disappear on the pitch black staircase leading to the bar; and reach out for those lightbulb moments suspended above, while thick tunes surround you and the drinks flow.
