A night out with Xav and Storm – The Gaff is apparently the best place to be. So here we go!
Tuesdays : Coyote Night @ The Gaff
Assessment time: 10:30 – 12:00am
Address: 16-18 Oxford Square, Corner Oxford & Riley St Darlinghurst Sydney.
Cover Charge / Entry Fee: $10. You are then given a voucher in which you can use for free entry next time, a free drink or some free food. Pretty good.
Crowd: Backpackers and locals. Mixed ages, mixed nationalities due to the inherent nature of the backpacker.
Music: Upstairs and Downstairs were a mix of top40, rnb, house, rock and pop.
Inside: an outdoor smoking area. Ground floor is a bar, with a dance area in the corner to hold 20. Downstairs underground is a large clubbing area of 2 bars, lounges and a medium sized dance floor to hold about 100 people or so.
Atmosphere: Friendly and .. party party party! Since everybody I knew had work the next day – there were only the unemployed or backpackers in this place, and it makes for a pretty friendly vibe. Met up with backpacker friends and we just danced around like mexican jumping beans. This place got very packed, and is unbelievably busy for a Tuesday night. There was basically no room on the dancefloor to dance around freely.
Door Policy / Dress Code : Almost anything goes tonight. Mohawks ok.
Entertainment: Cowgirls dancing on tables and a wet t-shirt contest – Thumbs up.

I’m going to the Gold Coast this Saturday and Sunday night for general dancing and loads of drinking – any recommendations? Friends are into RNB, and mixed Asians/Caucasian places – From my basic research I found that “The Drink Nightclub” and “Sin City” nightclub suit this description – am I correct? Are the big places? any other clubs?
VIP area preferred if possible but not essential?
It was 1:30. I had just come out of Establishment Hotel (i wrote a whole post but I accidentally lost it -basically it was a place for after work drinks and no more. I did some dancing and some girls danced with me, but ultimately it was not to last long) . Some random people on the street told me to go to rnb Superclub. I didn’t know – it was already 1:30am, and I was tired and real tipsy. So I flipped a coin, and it landed on Tank nightclub. I was alone, and dressed quite well, and was let in without question…. here we go

Headed out for a dance with Special K (SK) at Brooklyn Hotel while friends went to Bamboo. SK didn’t want to go to Bamboo because of the entry fee – besides, Brooklyn was closer to her work. Why don’t backpackers ever try a paid entry club one time? Oh right, backpackers.
We checked out Jackson’s on George first, but geez we didn’t even last one minute there. The amount of strobing that they lay on your poor eyes is probably close to illegal levels (if there were such levels in place):

Brooklyn Hotel
Address: Cnr George and Grovenor Streets | http://www.brooklynhotel.com.au
Music: RNB in the main room, tribal house / funky dance in the back courtyard.
Crowd: Mixed ages, mixed nationalities
Cover Charge / Entry fee: Free
Dress Code: Casual, hats allowed out back. Depending on the bouncer on watch, inside as well. SK was waring thongs!
Drinks: Special mention goes to the price of drinks which have gone up due to the recent alcopop tax I think $15 for a bottle of Smirnoff double black!! WTF! that’ s up from a typical $8 or $9 -.- At least the bar staff were nice enough to tell us about the price hikes. Well not that I drink that much but I suppose the $900 government stimulus would help some alcoholics out there. Between 8pm and 11pm though its $4 drinks for some house selections.
