Pickup Bars in Sydney CBD?

February 18 2016

Hi everyone :D We are staying in Sydney next week and we have Thursday night (25th) free and wondered are there: 1. Any bars in the Sydney CBD that are known as swinging pickup spots or just general hot spots? 2. Any 'really classy' bars that go above and beyond that we should visit or that are 'must sees' in Sydney CBD? (don't have to be pick up bars) We are staying on Circular Quay so a bar within walking distance is preferred :) We noticed Couple Club is open Thursday from 8pm-12pm, which we feel doesn't seem like much time for the price of entry? Who has been on a Thursday night and what can you tell us? How many people do they get on those nights? I'm assuming it would be very quiet with a hit and miss feel? I have heard some not so great reviews about CC especially about the smoking and them letting in an unlimited number of single men (which we are not interested in) on thurs/sun? We do love swingers clubs and will be attending Our Secret Spot on the Saturday night (our only other free night) but wondered should we do 2 clubs in 3 days? lol Or should we wait until Saturday and just do OSS and maybe find a nice bar to hang out at on the Thursday and try to pick up the locals? lol Taby xx

    But I'd recommend Palmer and Co - it's a fantastic little whisky bar, a little hard to find down an alley and a flight of stairs, but it's seriously cool.

    Im sort of stating the bleeding' obvious here...... but wouldn't every bar in Sydney become a "swinging pickup spot".....if you used RHP to make that happen??? Perhaps try the Datefinder function, and arrange in advance someone and remove the chance, because it seems like your more than open to meeting other couples. So you might as well choose who theyre going to be rather than leave it up to pure chance. DG PSSome bars that are a bit on the classy side in the Quay area are ECQ Bar at the Quay, Grain, and Cruise Bar at the Passenger Terminal.

    Unfortunately I don't know of any well-known pick up places for swingers. I'd be interested to read any further ideas. Haven't been to CC's on a Thursday, so can't comment. I'd probably choose OSS, over CC though. My favourite regular bars in the city are Palmers & Co, The Baxter Inn, The Barber Shop and Lobo Plantation. But they are smaller bars, best for intimate groups, rather than mingling. If you find somewhere good - post back ! Have a great Sydney trip :)

    We have entered a date in date finder and have messaged some couples in Sydney but no one seems to be free on the Thursday night which is why we are asking if there are any places we can go where we might strike it lucky. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Couple's Club definitely doesn't let in unlimited single guys on Thursday night, but it is pretty quiet. Check them out on a Saturday night. Couple's Club and Our Secret Spot are the best two in Sydney, always something happening on a Saturday night.
