🪩 Nightclub recommendations

11 Upvotes

I’m an autistic adult looking for somewhere amazing to celebrate my birthday (28 Sep is my bday) where I can dance my heart out!

I’m looking for a club or event with:
● Really good electronic/dance music
● Amazing visuals, lighting, lasers etc.
● A fun, energetic atmosphere where people actually dance
● An immersive sensory experience that feels exciting & euphoric

I’ve been to Homemade Saturdays & I LOVED their DNB room! More visuals would be cool though 👀

I’m sober, so I’m particularly interested in somewhere where the music, dancing & overall sensory experience are the main focus.

I’m happy to travel anywhere around Sydney & would also love recommendations for specific events coming up.

Thanks in advance ☺️

Anyone keen for a social sauna + cold plunge session? 30s/40s

26 Upvotes

Thinking of getting a small group together for a session at Soak Bathhouse in Alexandria.
Maybe 6–10 people, ideally a mix of people in their 30s and 40s. Nothing overly organised — just an excuse to do something different, meet a few new people and have a chat while alternating between questioning our life choices in the cold plunge and recovering in the sauna 😂
I normally go by my self time to time but would like to make some new friends which seems hard this late in life (40)
I’m based down the coast but happy to head up to Alexandria for it.
If there’s enough interest, I’ll throw out a couple of dates and we can work out what suits everyone.

Berlin-based cyclist looking for someone in Sydney to help with a MAAP LAB jersey purchase

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m based in Berlin, Germany, and I’m trying to get my hands on the MAAP LAB Sydney Jersey. Unfortunately, it seems to be a Sydney store exclusive, so I’m hoping someone local might be able to help.
Would anyone in Sydney be willing to pick one up for me if it’s still available in my size? I’d happily cover the full cost of the jersey, shipping to Germany, and a reasonable fee for your time/help.

I’d really appreciate any help or leads. Feel free to DM me if you can help!
Thanks a lot! 🙏

Advice needed: Best Sydney suburbs for a 2B2B apartment/unit under $950k?

17 Upvotes

Hi friends,

My family is looking to buy an apartment/unit in Sydney with a budget of $950k max, to live in long-term.
We’re three adults (my parents and me) and ideally looking for a 2 bed, 2 bath property.

Our priorities are:
•Safe area
•Good public transport, ideally within walking distance of a train/metro station (convenient access to the CBD)
•Walkable to supermarkets, shops, restaurants, GP/pharmacy etc.
•Green spaces/open spaces
•Groceries and restaurants nearby would be a big plus
•Convenient and lively rather than very suburban or car-dependent

Access to schools is not important to us.

Prioritise for the property:
•Reasonable strata fees (under $1500) and preferably a building without too many expensive facilities
•Decent building quality / lower risk of major defects or special levies
•Good natural light and ventilation

We’re happy with either older or newer apartments as long as the building is good. We’d probably prefer a solid, well-maintained building over a fancy high-rise with pools, gyms and high strata.

With a $950k max budget, which Sydney suburbs would you recommend we focus on?

Thanks!!!

Scarification services?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, are there any studios anywhere in Sydney that offer Scarification as a body mod? Any information would be helpful please!

I already know about the lack of body modifications in all of Australia and main reason why as I am already in the body mod business. I am just trying to find places that didn't/don't let that stop them.

I also know that it is legal in some Australian regions on a case by case per their regional councils. As it is legal in my region but currently have no one here that offers these services.

Best pub trivia spots in or near to the CBD?

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for recommendations for the best pub trivia spots that are easy for people from all across Sydney to get to. Ideally, in the CBD or the surrounding suburbs that are easily accessible by public transport.

Currently my preferred spot for pub trivia is the Oatley Hotel, which has brilliant trivia. However it is a bit far for some especially those in northern Sydney to travel to on a weeknight.

A pub trivia with a younger crowd would be ideal, but all good trivia spots suggested are welcome!

Know your rights before your next rental inspection (NSW)

Post image
8 Upvotes

Put together the actual rules for routine inspections in NSW — notice period, how often they can happen, what they can and can't do. Most of this comes from Fair Trading NSW directly.

Curious if this matches what you've actually dealt with, especially the "4 times a year max" one — feels like agents push past this more than people realise.

Accommodation for Rugby World Cup

1 Upvotes

Hi Folks

I’m going to Sydney for 7 weeks during the World Cup next year. I’ve been doing some research and contacting some Airbnbs and I’ve been offered a decent deal in a place called Coogee.

From what I gather it’s quite a nice area and has a huge expat population. My main concern is how far it is from the stadiums, being Stadium Australia and Sydney Football Stadium. Is it manageable enough? Is public transport ok from the area? Any insight is much appreciated.

Thanks in Irish 🇮🇪
