Want to get up close and peculiar with your favourite chanteuse? Like to feel the breath of funk soul troubadours on your cheek as they wax lyrical? This is the place to reach out and touch your faithful lyricist. And with major refurbishments under way (due for completion in Feb 2015) your communion's set to be a blaze of jazzed up glory.

Bondi Icebergs

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.

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.

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.

Cheap food, cheap drinks, friendly staff, friendly customers. Get there by 4pm on weekdays for happy hour, which runs until 6pm. Then grab a $10 dinner: burgers on Mon, steaks on Tues, schnitzels on Wed, fish and chips on Thurs. On Sat there's $5 house drinks from 8pm! If you can get out of bed the next day, pop back for a Sun roast.

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.

Courthouse Hotel

If shiny, sharp and chic don't excite you then the Courthouse probably will, because you're a beer 'n' burgers sort of person. You like things weathered and worn - pre-loved and unsuperficial. You hate places that attract the same crowd every night. You want to nestle in somewhere that feels like home... away from home. Look no further.

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.

You won't find another movie house in town like this one: a beacon of refinement in a landscape blighted by multiplexes, with drinks and snacks fit for a legend of the limelight. How fitting that it used to be the screening room of Paramount House, where studio execs watched gelatine prints fresh off the jet from la-la land.

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.

Utopia: a fallacy. An impossibility. We humans are too flawed. We'd never be able to agree on what true harmony is, what real equality is, and yet Arcadia somehow makes you feel like the impossible is possible. Just for the night. Not in a gross, kumbaya, let's all vomit rainbows sort of way. It's just... how life should be. Everyone's welcome.

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.

The boat to cockatoo island is about 30 minutes but the view from the island of the city is brilliant. You can wonder the island before hitting The Island bar for pizza and a drink. The shipping containers really do fit in well with the island.
