Overview

Drink and discover on Sydney's top-rated nightlife experience - now with 5 different routes!

Perfect for solo travellers, couples, friends, non-drinkers, locals, visitors - anyone who wants a fun & unique night out.

Over 3.5 hours, your host will take you to 3 or 4 different bars including very well-hidden ones and some of Sydney’s top-rated bars. We include the first drink (beer or wine) and then leave it up to you to choose how you want to enjoy the night. There’s no pressure to drink, so if you prefer not to, we promise you’ll still have fun!

As we explore, you’ll hear a few fun stories, covering crime, local legends & other “pub trivia” worthy tidbits.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
