Q Bar, Sydney

Don't show up in your Sunday cleaning clothes if you expect to slide by the entrance and enter the elevator that takes you to this bar heaven. Only the coolest hipsters make it into this place, but that should include you if you simply look the part. With a pool hall, club and bar, this Oxford Street institution is one of the harder places to get into along this strip. With three bars; first, an oval shape bar, swoops its way down to form the second bar in the pool hall. The third bar is members only and you need a photo ID Q card to get in and dance, mingle or pose. The decor is modern with high ceilings and the clientele are hip and trendy.
