The CBD is the main commercial hub of Sydney and it offers several pubs and larger venues like Kent St. Hotel. Pyrmont, located just west of the CBD, offers charming settings like the Rooftop Terrace. Potts Point, a small and densely populated suburb in inner-city of Sydney, is a good area for finding bars and local pubs with a mix of casual and trendy vibes, such as Penny’s Potts Point.

Weekends and evenings are peak times for pub bookings in Sydney, particularly in central areas like the CBD and North Sydney. For more affordable options, consider weekday afternoons. You should book your venue 3-6 months in advance to secure the best availability and pricing, especially during the busy summer months (July to September).
