    Catalyst Dance Residency 2015!
    Matt S.

    As a performing artist I have been involved in a few performances and creative developments in this funky old train carriage repair place/thing. As a punter I have also attended a few exhibitions and shows in the space. It's an amazing space, masterfully using using the original architecture to create a funky, stylish and above all else, versatile venue. There's always something going on at Carriageworks, and as an out-of-Towner, I always make it my business to visit whenever I'm in Sydney. I'm never disappointed. My favourite Carriageworks feature is the Cafe, restaurant, kiosk, bar, or whatever it actually is. Great menu, good coffee and a selection great wines. It's my understanding the staff also supplies the catering for the events held in the venue... And events are always well catered for!

    First off this is a beautifully restored train yard building, with state of the art interiors designed for huge conferences. This space is big enough, and technically savvy enough to be the home of TedX in Sydney. Located in Eveleigh, just 4km from the CBD, its proximity to the city allows it to be a flexible venue for a range of events. CarriageWorks contains two large flexible state-of-the-art theatre spaces, a gallery space, exhibition spaces, offices, a bar and café. Be careful if you're driving in, as parking can be a mission. Try and get a taxi, as they have a taxi rank it'll be easy to find one once you're ready to leave. If you're not in the mood to put on a conference, or have your next event at CarriageWorks, come for the Eveleigh markets on Saturday from 8am-1pm.

    Carriageworks in Eveleigh is a great space with an interesting history and an exciting future. Formerly the Eveleigh Rail Yards, the new venue opened in early 2007 with a view to housing arts and cultural events, such as the excellent Finders Keepers markets. There are a couple of theatres, a gallery and exhibition space, rehearsal rooms and a workshop. Check the Carriageworks website regularly to stay on top of upcoming shows, events and exhibitions. (They ALWAYS have great things happening, so it pays to find out first and get your tickets before the masses!) For example, SCEGGS Darlinghurst will be running a stage version of the classic Aussie novel Cloudstreet all through November - definitely one to look out for. You'll also find the John and Peter Canteen at Carriageworks, which is open for lunch Wednesday to Sunday and dinner Wednesday to Saturday. There are some great pre-theatre special deals available ($25 meal and glass of wine), so contact the restaurant for details. Carriageworks is close to the Redfern or Macdonaldtown train stations, or try your best to find a park.

    I shed tears, actual tears, tears of love lost, when the original District 01 off Oxford St shut…read moredown earlier this year. Sydney had lost one of her raddest venues and a place renowned for putting on ace performances, plays, sales, exhibitions and just about anything else you can think of. It was making way for a bakery. Now, I'm all for baked goods, but Sydney can't afford to lose little gems like this that add something irreplaceable to the fabric of this damned fine city. Huzzah, then, that District 01 has risen - phoenix-like! - from the ashes of corporate suckitude and is reincarnated in Randle Lane, a small, clean alleyway near Central Station and the place is cooler than ever. HUZZAH I SAY. I attended the relaunch party last night and while there were canapes and live tunes and drinks what I really got excited about was the venue: a white-walled space ready to be transformed into whatever, whenever. A blank canvas waiting for imagination to recreate it into anything the user desires. Light globes hang low from the ceiling. Entry is up the stairs of a repurposed loading dock. And . . . there's just something about partying in a secret alleyway that makes me feel cooler than I probably (er, actually) am.

    This is definitely one of those places you've stumbled upon by accident and you want to keep it a…read moresecret. Down a little alleyway off a quiet street, there's a set of door with a sign on them that reads "District 01". Inside is a converted warehouse with white floors, walls and ceiling and a few stacks of white pallets. I was here for a Yelp event so the projector was beaming District 01 offers with intermittent Yelp logos. The night was fairly warm and humid but the venue remained cool enough even though it was packed with people. This is defo worth keeping in mind if you're an event coordinator/PR/marketing peep looking for cool, new venues for events.

However, some of them aren't actually all that bad, especially if you are looking for something that is rather unpretentious. Well, this one is certainly unpretentious, even though it doesn't really have a huge selection of beers on tap. The pub itself was quite nice and refreshing though, with a real modern feel about it. Oh, and the service was also pretty good. Yes, this is definitely a place for those who don't want to deal with the pretentiousness of the surrounding bars.

Chanced upon the Regent Redfern which had them Scotch Filets on their menu, on top of all the mouthwatering appetizers you can think of. We were tired tourists needing a bit of rest and relaxation and good food so we thought we would hang out at the bistro for a bit. The people who work here were just so hospitable, kind and welcoming. We started with their local IPA which went really well with the salt and pepper squid and the beer battered fries. Both were fantastic! Those beer-battered fries are amazingly crisp and light. My friends were also so happy with the tender, flavorful Scotch filets they ordered. We loved this place! If and when we return to Sydney, we will definitely go back to this establishment.

    I've seen many a great band advertised here but as is my wont, the thing that finally got me here…read morewas the lure of a spankin new comedy night. And it doesn't hurt that this deep wild-wild-inner-western venue is on the freakin bondi junction train line! #ftw Hump Night (Wednesdays, in a camel themed bar, capiche?) Comedy's opening night was brilliant, with a stellar lineup & full house. The decor description is best quoted to the night's MC- David Smeidt- who described it ss if a gay pirate was having a garage sale. Camels, camel themes, and some classic posters- the gay pirates responsible for decorating Camelot have definitely never heard the expression, "less is more"... I ordered a garlic pizza cos it was like $8. It was alright & for $8 I ain't gonna complain the crust was a bit hard tho. Some pretty amazing looking mezze plates were doing the rounds and making me regret my decision. Now that I know how easy it is to get to and groovy a venue it is I'm looking forward to joining the camel cult.

    Random nights are the best nights, aren't they?…read more My friend Isobel sent me a message last week, with a Facebook link saying, wanna check this out next week in good old Marrickville? I was like, yeeerrrppppp, let's go. Why not, right? So tonight, I look at the Facebook page to figure out where it is and its like all trendy and ambiguous "in the back streets of Marrickville".... well, where the FUCK is that, eh??? Bloody thing. Well, I figured it out and I can't tell you how AWESOME it was! Dimly lit, trendy, hipster kitch. Think Shady Pines, but not so much Americana. Yes, cowboys. But also gypsies, persian carpets, camels and eastern flair. The owner, came over and introduced himself to us and was like, how did you hear about us? Well, we have the very uncool story that Isobel's mum told her about it. Yeah, I'm serious. LOL. We think it's funny as hell too, especially since the place was so great, so unknown. Her mum saw some live music here a few weeks ago. I should probably make up a cooler story about how I know about the place that makes me sound really awesome with my finger right on the pulse of avant guarde Sydney or something, so when I bring people here I can be like... yeah... I'm cool... man?!! We had wines which were delicious. I had an SA Pinot Noir. Hey, look! I'm trying to learn my wines! Be impressed. I'm a wine doofus. Downstairs is "Django Bar" which is I guess, not a music venue. Camelot is technically on the top floor, and is a music venue with some food... the garlic pizza is amazing. Perfectly garlicky and cheesy melty goodness. Sean Taylor was playing, he was described as a Chris Isaak acoustic guitar type.... well, wow, I could have easily stayed out til past midnight if it wasn't a school night. He was amazing. Everything was 5 star. I'm really glad to be able to write this review for such a great NEW establishment, but it's even better that it's in my home suburb of dear old MARRICKVILLE!!! Marrickville is seriously Sydney's Brooklyn. Seriously. Its coming up in the world. Watch out.

My only other frame of reference was our previous visit to the Oslo (Norway) Opera House. Both are waterfront cultural landmarks designed to merge art with public space. I think the comparison is relatively weak, but I did enjoy Oslo's stark and walkable white marble roof designed to resemble a glacier, encouraging public interaction. Yet, its hard to beat Sydney's sculptural sails. We took the inside tour, with one regret being running out of time and not having the opportunity to enjoy a performance here, preferably in either the huge Orchestra or Opera Halls. Heck, I would have settled for one of the plays on the lower level. The biggest highlight though was getting to see the projection on those Sails commemorating the 125th Anniversary of the Australian Navy. Absolutely Stunning!

Whether you can get a tour or not, the Sydney Opera House is worth seeing! We loved walking it in full to see different views of Sydney and took multiple boats/ferries around the harbor to see the Sydney Opera House as a whole. Rain or shine, it's definitely worth the stop for its breathtaking architecture and views alone!
