It’s a bit like Manchester’s Canal St since Covid, as people got too used to online dating and mobile dating apps, well beyond just gay dating websites - outside of Pride, most gay venues of the 90’s will be closed down, because due to the increased acceptance of gay people, many gays, if they go out at all, will start going to straight venues and straights will start going to gay venues
I'm from New Zealand and lived in Sydney for 1 year, staying on Crown St just off Oxford St in 2007, when I asked one of the locals about the gay scene while at Stonewall one night he said Oxford Sts golden era was over, he best times were 80s and 90s, I missed it by about 15 years
So true it was an amazing time in the 80s. I used to work at the fab Kinsellas back then and there where some amazing fun clubs on Oxford.. Moved to Europe and have continued the fun here in Amsterdam where I live. Sydney has lost its sparkle, but I was there when it shined!
I totally enjoyed myself 4 week's ago I got to the Den around 1200 payed $10 for 24 hours it didn't close life 140pm the next day watched pron movie enjoying having cocks fuck and cumin over me
Australia seems to be far safer than the U.K. or Ireland to socialise in due to its strict immigration laws - being Irish and living in the U.K. myself, Soho in London or Manchester’s Canal St is very dangerous at night and it’s even more dangerous in Dublin late at night, even in Temple Bar or O’ Connell St
Rather dull I find. For a city such as Sydney I was expecting a much more vibrant nightlight. But perhaps it's during the work week. I am a New Yorker and in comparison this looks like in some small town.
Currently, it’s awful... Was once a crazy nightlife experience! However the lockout laws were changed at the start of 2020 and things should start pumping again...
I went to USA in 2004, and thought the night-life in LA, LV were drab compared to back home in Sydney. This part of Sydney used to pumping every night of the week, i was surprised that clubs all closed in LA at 3 and in Vegas at 5, here back then on the weekends you'd have nightclubs close 6 - 7am and the day clubs open at 7am till 11pm
Oxford was pumping in the 90s...
Go back 20 years you would be lucky to be able to walk through Oxford st... Its a ghost town now.
Use to go there from 2002 - 2004. Wild times
Compared to Melbourne's scene this is pretty grim.
Because of the lock out laws
Brilliant mate. This is Bangkok112 style done well 📷👍
Dale Philip Cheers! 🍻
Bangkok 112 the gay version.
Sydney in the 90s was the best party city to be found. But that wasn’t high tone enough for politicians. Now Sydney has nothing. It’s finished.

Man I was there in 2006, and 2009, and it was ace, probably not as good as 80s, I can’t determine that
This used to be THE place to be 20 years ago, now I'm not sure what it is, just a place to go out I guess.
i think that applies to the whole world. really fucking sad stuff
That looks depressing, can’t compare to 25 years ago, it used to be so much fun, its my fault I’m in bed by 10pm now.
Grew up there in the 70’s. It used to be the most entertaining area. Unfortunately, looks like it’s gone to shit.
Agh can't imagine how fancy was on those days , now completely boring gost town
I live right next to Oxford Street. Yes it is boring living here and nothing ever happens, even though I am a short walk from the city centre.

It was bustling before the alcohol lock out laws i reckon
was good times in the 80's
Compared to a decade ago it looks gloomy and boring.
Changed a bit since 87

Favourite spot in Sydney
You missed the Bear Bar.
Bear bar? 🐻
@@eyegrasp It is in the basement level to the Burdekin Hotel (2 Oxford St).
such shit nightlife compared to Miamai, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Waikiki beach Honolulu
Currently, it’s awful... Was once a crazy nightlife experience! However the lockout laws were changed at the start of 2020 and things should start pumping again...
eye grasp How was it like throughout this year?
@@eyegrasp reports say it’ll take a decade
