It’s as if the creative night club scene of Sydney hadn’t suffered enough already. Long standing club and bar The Flinders Hotel is closing it’s doors for good with the Lock Out Laws being blamed as it’s main reason for this sad day.

Once the brainchild of Bang Gang DJ Jamie Wirth, The Flinders Hotel stood as a centrepiece to a myriad of international mid week guests over the years, joining the likes of resident DJ and tastemaker Kato. Who could forget that faithful party when Dirtybird’s Christian Martin and Worthy decided to drop in for some love? Or that time Brodinski, Gesaffelstein came along and wreaked havoc?

The Facebook message from The Flinders is loud and clear;

“It’s been a good run but Barry got us in the end. We know it’s sudden but please come in tonight and pour one out for your fallen homie. Thanks for all the good times. Peace, love, and picklebacks, from all of us at the flinders.”

The Flinders Hotel joins fellow clubs The Backroom and The Bourbon in the ever increasing grave yard that is NSW’s night life.

NSW needs to ask the question in the lead up to the next State election on the 28th of March 2015 (2 and a half months from now!).
