ScuBar

Scubar is the place to go to meet young adults from all over the world. Centrally located between hotels and hostels, this is the place that everyone goes to meet other young tourists. They have many theme nights and free prizes and giveaways and drink specials. Open until 2am. Very friendly and safe environment, but go with friends or a group. But not a good place to go if you're interested in mingling with the locals.

This is probably the number one backpacker’s bar in Sydney. This place, especially once nighttime kicks in, is a nonstop party bar. Every night there is something different, so you need to check out what's going on. They even have crab racing one night a week. Drink beer with locals and other travelers (it’s right next to the Sydney Central YHA), so most of the backpackers from YHA tend to hang out there.

It has a great atmosphere and good beer!

If you are a backpacker on a budget, but still want to sample Sydney's nightlife, the ScuBar on a Monday night is a must. Free entry, and $2.50 champagne and wine after 8pm - what more could you ask? "Crab racing!" I hear you cry. Well, they have that too. A little strange, I have to admit, but it's free to bet on a crab, and the prizes are pretty good. Music is a mixed bag, guaranteed to get you dancing. Good times all round!!!
