Now prohibition is over, the citizens of Sydney have a civic duty to party

Sydney has been the lucky recipient of a rain bomb this weekend, so it's understandable that people might want to curl up under a blanket and binge some Netflix.

It was 9pm on a Friday night on Crown Street, and he laughed. Not only were our dining options restricted to an admittedly delicious burger joint with metal stools and benches, but our "heading out for a drink" time was running out.Two years later, I've learned how to find food that hasn't been cooked on a grill after a show and I know where to get a drink after that.

In Sydney the preference seems to be to complain about the lockout laws and what a cultural dead-zone the city has become, then quietly go to bed obscenely early, energised to whinge for another day. It was an effective strategy, in the end. In 1989, long before cowards in the Cross ruined things for everyone, the government of the day slapped a ban on the Civic Hotel in the city that required "entertainment by way of rock & roll bands to cease forthwith".
