Cinema~ any greater union/events cinema brand - theres one in George st, sydney, but also many around sydney and aus.
Cost: 15 for adults 11 for children or $9 on 'cheap tuesdays'

Shopping~ chatswood westfield shopping centre, but my local is castle towers shopping centre.

Clubs~
the ivy

Tips: go early and dress fancy. Not good for over 30, 35 Max, and if you don't look rich don't expect much attention.

Chinese laundry-
Cost: $15/25 after 11pm
off Clarence st under the slipp in(great for drum and bass nights and just dancing all night long)
Tips: take photos of the real laundromat and also take photos of you and friends in front of graffiti wall upstairs!

The empire hotel-
Near the end of the strip in kings cross (darlinghurst road).
Cost: free
Tips: good for a quick drink and dance before hitting real clubs- it has a dancing stage if you want to make a scene and plays music with video clips, some 80s and 90s funny stuff that you can dance around to as well as modern chart hits.

$5 - $20 pp or share!
