About Scary Canary
A 3.4 average across more than a thousand Google reviews tells you most of what you need: this is a high-volume Kent Street room that splits opinion, beloved by the crowd it's built for and less so by everyone else. Doors open at noon six days a week and don't close until 3am, so the arc of a visit can run from an afternoon drink to a packed floor working through commercial hits, old-school throwbacks and easier lounge-leaning house. The mix skews tourist and backpacker, with a good share of Western European visitors and locals who know the CBD after dark, and the $$ band keeps it accessible even with table service on offer. Monday through Saturday all count as busy nights here, which is unusual; Sunday winds down early at midnight. Dress is smart elegant, and it's 18 to drink.
