A
Gaelic Club
Whether it’s the latest darlings of the British music press or some local sonic assailants made good, concerts at the Gaelic bridge the gap between the pub scene and the larger theatres.

B
Sandringham Hotel
Minimal (or no) cash will score you a live-music fix (everything from acoustic acts to goth metal) at the Sando, where, according to local band The Whitlams, God drops by.

C
Annandale Hotel
At the forefront of Sydney's live-music scene, the Annandale coughs up alt-rock, metal, punk and electronica. Punters traverse the sticky carpet between sets by local kids on a stage that's held the likes of the Dandy Warhols and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Yum cha lunches on weekends.

Vanguard
Freethinking, intellectual, artistic, musical – the qualities to which Vanguard aspires. The intimate time-travelling 1920s-themed band room satisfies these criteria; occasional Russell Crowe gigs do not. Jeff Martin and Holly Throsby shows are redemptive. Most seats are reserved for dinner-and-show patrons.

Venue 505
