5. The Laugh Garage Comedy Club Sydney
60 Park St
Visit Time Out to read the full article
The Garage is what nightlife used to be, with a mix of entertainment ideal for a date night out or a table of friends. Wednesday night is party night with fast-paced comedy, “Name That Tune” (and win a bar tab!) and karaoke until late, ideal for a midweek session with mates and colleagues. Thursday night is a chance to see some of Australia’s up and coming stars of comedy shine (or crash and burn) with our open mic session, along with an A-list headliner to bring the night... -
7. Chinese Laundry
111 Sussex St
Visit Time Out to read the full article
The Laundry is one of Sydney’s biggest and most respected clubs. The top-notch sound system in the Cave has attracted heavyweight internationals James Holden, Gui Boratto and Sasha and the outdoor dance floor is a summer clubbing staple. Those familiar with the Laundry have probably already spent a sweaty night or two in its three club rooms. However, the return of sunshine means that partying is once again possible in the garden bar. Their Garden Party series is back, featuring some of the... -

1. Becasse
Pitt St
Visit Time Out to read the full article
The new Bécasse is on level five of what may well be the most talked-about shopping mall this side of the Time Warner Center. And while you may spend a lot of your meal watching hotpants tense and strain at the Fitness First the next building over, count yourself lucky you’re nowhere near Westfield’s entry level on Pitt Street, where normally sane women are gauging each other’s eyes out for blazers and blouses. Horror has a face and its name is Zara. Bécasse redux is a real step away from the... -
2. Rockpool
107 George St
Visit Time Out to read the full article
You won’t find a restaurant in Sydney so burdened with the expectations of diners as Rockpool. There’s something particularly special about the flagship restaurant. Maybe it’s the thick white tablecloths; the plushly carpeted catwalk up the middle of the restaurant; the rubbernecking to see who’s dining around you; or the incredibly professional service. Or maybe it’s the food. While Rockpool is still Neil Perry’s restaurant, Perry has given full control of the kitchen to Phil Wood. And it’s... -
3. Rockpool Bar & Grill
66 Hunter St
Visit Time Out to read the full article
RESTAURANT REVIEW: The first thing that hits you when you enter the 1936 City Mutual Building - considered by many the finest Art Deco building in Australia - isnt the pristine stone and brass work. Its the smell. Push through the heavy brass doors and be greeted by a mingling of grilling meat, wood fire and leather. This is Sydneys best smelling restaurant and its enough to make your mouth water even before you sit down. Breathe it in as you look up at the grandeur of the room. Rockpool Bar... -
4. Etch
62 Bridge St

Justin North is a busy man. Hes got fine diner Bécasse, sandwich shop Plan B and now Etch, located at the InterContinental Hotel. Headed up by chefs James Metcalfe and Tristan Robertson, its like your classic bistro with a Spanish twist and a focus on local produce. Share a bunch of appetisers like their play on sardines on toast - vintage sardines (yes, really - ours date to 2007) with a tiny dice of green apple and shards of crispbread, or the very pretty deep-fried goats cheese balls... -
5. Coast
The Roof Terrace, Cockle Bay, 201 Sussex St
Visit Time Out to read the full article
At first glance, this contemporary Italian fine diner seems stark and devoid of character. But the more time you spend in it, the more you find the food and the interiors are in perfect harmony. In both, purity and simplicity with clean, bright flavours win out. Chef Jonathan Barthelmess serves flash fried southern calamari alongside pieces of fried eggplant sliced so thin they resemble cellophane and topped with a tiny dice of juicy, luscious tomato and a scanty chiffonnade (very fine strand)... -
6. Tetsuyas
529 Kent street
Visit Time Out to read the full article
Friday nights at Tetsuya’s are booked up until Christmas Eve. At least, they were when we called to check. So is it worth the wait? The answer is yes. There are a few things you may want to know before you throw down your hard-earned. The first is that you don’t want to sit in the new dining area upstairs. It’s pretty clear they’re still trying to work out the room. Instead, request a table downstairs overlooking the koi-filled pond and Japanese garden. Despite Tetsuya’s being a popular... -
7. Ocean Room
Overseas Passenger Terminal, Circular Quay West

Ocean Room has had a refit. Relaunched this month with a new look thanks to designer Yasumichi Morita, the restaurant is drawing aces. Executive chef Raita Noda (previously at Rise), along with head chefs Yukio Moriyama and Yohei Abe, is creating dishes that blur the line between bar food and dinner – a casual, grazing-style menu running to more substantial fare. Start your evening in the bar – theres Kirin on tap, and cocktails if youre feeling fancy. High wooden benches and comfy... -

1 Market St

A brand new noodle bar next to the Shelbourne Hotel on Market Street specialising in ramen. One of the tastiest things they do here is the dragon - hot noodles covered in a spicy, chilli-studded pork mince and boiled egg garnish. They also have an excellent soba noodle and spicy beef soup absolutely riddled with chilli bits. The noodles are far better than plenty of the places you have to queue for hours to visit and theres outdoor seating - perfect for summer. Around $10 per person, including... -

In the kitchen, its Martin Benn, ex head chef of Tetsuyas with Dan Puskas, ex head chef of Oscillate Wildly, by his side. If thats not enough, youve got Adam Cohen from Bécasse managing front of house and sommelier Rodney Setter from Altitude pouring the vino. Thats a lot of awesome in one restaurant.

What? The nasi lemak (coconut rice, chicken curry, sambal, dried shrimp, boiled egg and cucumber) is served in a dinky segmented tray and there’s a different special for each day of the week. A sensational chicken curry has roti on the side and their laksa is three kinds of awesome. The room is sort of absorbed into the mall, but staff will yell at you if you miss your number being called out. Why? It’s cheap, it’s quick and for a couple of dollars more you get a bib for your...

Sydney Opera House
Bennelong Point
Played out on a round circus stage, this jaw-dropping, gasp-inducing, and at times utterly cringe-worthy combination of cabaret, circus and contemporary variety leaves the audience lost for words from the very second they dim the lights at the Studio. This can be credited to the show’s opening act, Le Gateau Chocolat, a lycra-clad, opera-singing diva who is also in some way the night’s host. With a massive singing voice, Le Gateau’s rendition of Radiohead’s ‘Creep’ works brilliantly with his... -

Sydney Theatre Company - Wharf Theatres
Pier 4/5 Hickson Rd
Fractured voices emerge from the dark stage of Wharf 1, the audio splicing giving the feeling of flicking between radio stations. Beams of light slice across the space, finally widening to spotlight a pregnant woman (Sarah Jayne Howard) and a young man (Josh Mu). The audio settles into an extended discussion between a male and female voice on the vagaries of corporal punishment, and Mu and Howard move their bodies in a beautiful distortion of everyday gesture to the rhythms of speech. ... -

Bibliophiles aside, few people see libraries as sexy places, with their musty smells and enforced quiet. But this Valentine’s Day the NSW State Library is challenging that perception, with a talk on the Science of Sex Appeal. They’ve sifted through their archives to gather a reading list of love letters from the past, revealing the private passions of amorous correspondents. It won’t all be voyeuristic listening to swoony prose, though – following the love dedications is a talk on the... -

Imagine a white world that is calm, orderly and spotless. Suddenly, a burst of colour changes everything, making it messy, chaotic and wonderful. It could be a metaphor for becoming a parent, but it’s also the plot of White, the lauded production playing insde the sails in February. White follows a day in the life of Cotton and Wrinkle, the human caretakers of a pristine white wood full of birdhouses. When an errant spot of color enters their magical world, one man is fascinated and the other...
