Carriageworks

By Toby

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!

Cafe Lounge

Forget Valium. Don't bother with Xanax. This is your daily chill prescription, tucked away from the hubbub of Oxford St. But it ain't sleepy; cocktails like the Johnny Cash, Voodoo Child and Cherry Poppins will help keep your toes tapping all night long. And the prescription's different every night, from comedy, folk, to tasty funk and soul.

Hinky Dinks

Is that John Waters leaning on the bar with Cry Baby, sipping a zombie? How did the owners manage to snag Etta James to play a set? And who would've thought you'd find Frank Sinatra looking wistfully upon Darlinghurst Rd while munching a Dinky Dog with extra eschallots? They're all here - if you squint hard enough and don't ask too many questions.

The Queer Space

The Red Rattler

This is the reigning queen of Sydney's alternative club scene. Or drag king, if you prefer. Expect to find anything from queer rappers to vegan BBQs to psychedelic boogie rock, with no racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic behaviour allowed.
