Established as one of Sydney's best gay bars, the bar at the Columbian Hotel serves premium and imported beer along with its own signature cocktails. Decor is self-described as "South American chic," along with large-screen music videos and a upstairs dance floor upstairs. These sure make this spot extremely popular with the city's gay community.

Stonewall is the name given to the riot which was the beginning of the American Lesbian and Gay Liberation movement and suitably so Stonewall is a head to toe gay venue. Until 5am on most mornings, you can enjoy three levels of happening bars and funky dancing. Whilst you are there check out their kiosk, gay cabaret shows and karaoke. Once a week they have a lesbian night. Dark in decor though very trendy, this place attracts all types.

If you are not cruising the Oxford Stree, Darlinghurst strip, this would be your next best bet. With both gay and straight patrons, the hotel boasts three very different bars. The Cabaret Bar plays host to the Drag Shows, the Front Bar is a mixed public bar and the Cellar Bar is the night club. Check website for further details on events.
