Oxford Street’s club and party venue the Burdekin Hotel has been granted a 30-minute exemption from the Sydney lockout laws.
The venue made the announcement in a press release this morning, following the New South Wales State Government’s invitation for eligible venues to apply for a half an hour reprieve from the 1:30am lockout and 3am last drinks regulations.
The Burdekin, which hosts regular techno and house events as well as the monthly emo party AM//PM, will now be able to grant entries until 2am and serve alcohol until 3:30am.
So, it’s only an extra half an hour, but it’s a start.
The venue joins a host of other Sydney CBD and Darlinghurst businesses in securing the extension, including Oxford Art Factory, The World Bar, The Basement and Chinese Laundry.
