CBD nightlife in Sydney
Sydney's CBD covers a lot of ground — slick after-work cocktail rooms, harbour-edge rooftops, basement clubs that wake up after midnight, and the city's polished big-night-out crowd. It's where the nightlife scales from a single Negroni to a full evening that ends somewhere louder.
