These days, Sydney clubs seem to be packed with teens. Everyone has their drunken day dancing around a sweaty club, but for those who are in their 20's and 30's, there is still a place for you. Soho is a spot with eclectic music and decor that you shouldn't spew up on at the end of the night.
Housed in an art deco building on the busy strip of Victoria Street, right in the middle of the Cross, Soho is located in a perfect spot, in walking distance to the train station. This place was opened around the time of the areas revival. It was a time when trash either became treasure or it was chucked away with bad behaviour. Friends tell me it started out as a very druggy orientated joint. That certainly isn't apparent to me when I head there. The place had a revamp in 2006 so I assume old habits were driven out the door with the pool tables and crummy furniture. Soho now stands brilliantly with dark tones of brown, red leather couches and polished floorboards. There is a smoke machine on the weekends and gold mirrors around the room.
This isn't the place for food, but the drinks are worth giving a go. While on the expensive side of life [$20 for cocktails and $12 for beers], they are worth a shot. The lemon caprioska is refreshing and light. There is also something called a strawberry Japanese Slipper which is sweet and packed full of punch.
The older crowd seems to love the classic drinks here. They also seem to love the great mix of electronic, indie pop and dubstep popular here too. Really, there is no better place to get sweaty in the Cross!
