It’s here, on the Darlinghurst end of the street, at the edge of the city centre, that some of the city’s biggest and busiest LGBTQIA+ bars are located. Cruise along the strip and mingle with the crowds at The Colombian, a multi-level venue with a friendly neighbourhood vibe, before hitting the dance floor at gay drawcard Arq. In nearby Surry Hills, about a five-minute drive from the city centre, bustling pub The Beresford throws an LGBTQIA+ garden party every Sunday afternoon, complete with delicious food, mimosas and designer dogs abound.
