Antiquated licensing laws still impose heavy burdens on people wanting to open bottle shop-cum-wine bars around town.
Everybody wants the city’s nightlife to come roaring back but antiquated and cumbersome licensing laws still impose heavy burdens on people wanting to add a little pizzazz to Sydney after dark and open bottle shop-cum-wine bars around town.
Sydney’s legislation is in marked contrast to Melbourne, where wine bars proliferated after the Kennett government freed up the nation’s most restrictive liquor laws in 1994 to allow the newly built Crown Casino to run bars without serving food.A new, hip, inner-city lifestyle was born.
The lockdowns significantly changed Sydney’s cultural nightlife, and the second blow came just when they ended, with COVID-19. There were fears the pandemic might be the nail in the coffin for Sydney nightlife – indeed, nightlife around the world. But the urge to party and enjoy life is a powerful motivator, and Sydney’s nightlife has returned – but it could certainly use more wine bars.
