Why it's worth checking out
The Grand Electric sits on Cleveland Street in Surry Hills, one of Sydney's most characterful inner-city suburbs. A live-music venue and bar, it brings together quality drinks, a lively atmosphere and regular live entertainment — the kind of vibrant, sociable spot that makes for a memorable night out in the inner city.
The appeal is that combination of good drinks, a buzzing atmosphere and live music in a great Surry Hills location, ideal for drinks with friends, a fun night out or catching some live entertainment. The blend of bar and music venue gives it a real point of difference, and it's become a genuine favourite for a livelier evening.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 600 reviews, it's clearly delivering on both the drinks and the atmosphere. The live-music program, drinks lists, opening hours and any ticketing vary entirely with what's on, so it's worth checking the current line-up before you go — particularly if you're after a specific gig or night — though for a drink and a taste of the atmosphere, it's often just a matter of dropping in on Cleveland Street.
