Star Bar 19th March 2010

Friends of M have forced me to go to Star Bar, after leaving the dismal Shark Hotel. I have only 3 passes this year to visit Star Bar as part of my new years resolution, and after tonight, I will only have one left. So M and I go in for a dance.. here we go!

Bar Europa, Pavillion Hotel, Scruffy Murphys: Friday 12th February 2010

On February 12, 2010, in Bar Europa, Live Band, Pavillion, Pop, Rock, Scruffy Murphys, by J T

 

Tonight is PISSING down cats and dogs.. like pretty hard as hell, and nobody wants to come out. I want to go home but I get a call from Derelick.. I suppose I can stay out for a bit.. here we go!

 

Triple up Quickie: Fridays @ Bar Europa, Pavillion and Scruffy Murphys
Bar Europa
Dead as. Avoid on rainy nights as it was just us and another small group of asians, it was the birthday boy from 2 weeks ago at flow, TT.
0/10 tonight. Blame the rain and lack of promotion.

 

Pavillion Hotel
Danced with C tonight.  Met some Japanese girls via dance, but some white guys were constantly cracking onto them. Disgusting.

3/10 tonight

 

Friday @ Scruffy Murphys
As we walk in we can smell the alcohol and the stench of backpackers. It’s hot and stinky. We head downstairs where some rnb is playing. We dance and impress everybody. All the guys are ogling at C – the quality of girls down here is questionable.

We go back upstairs later and dance for a bit. C is pulled into a dance circle and impresses all. When she tries to leave she is pulled back in and can’t escape for another half hour.
Not much on my side of things, tried to dance with some girls but they dont think i’m awesome enough.

We all leave at around 2:30. an early night as I have Good Vibrations tomorrow.

 

Scruffy Murphys 4/10 tonight

On July 28, 2009, in 3 wise monkeys, Live Band, Pop, RnB, Rock, Scruffy Murphys, The Gaff, by J T

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.

Nightclub Level @ The Gaff Sydney - Full of backpackers. Yes, it's a Tuesday night!
