DJ Upstairs: Casual Connection
Free

DJs takes place at Marlborough Hotel in Newtown on December 5, 2026.
The Marly is the best bar in Newtown.
It is at the city end of King St and feels as though it is the start/end of King St, depending which direction you are coming from.
There are three main areas - upstairs. This is for a casual drink, less so a dance floor even if they have a DJ or entertainment up there. It closes at around 11:30-12 and has a balcony. The main area consists of a dance floor at the front of the venue and a beer garden out the back. Overall, the venue is pretty tamed pre 10pm. From about 10:30pm the dance floor gets going and continues until late. There is also downstairs - Tokyo Sing Song. This is usually reserved for promoters and has paid entry. It is the only techno spot in Newtown.
The crowd is a melting point. The venue is close to the University of Sydney, and to a lesser extent UTS, so it draws a lot of 18-21 year students. But it also draws an alternative crowd of creatives, as well as young professionals that live in the inner city. Expect a range of ages and professions and the beer garden is a prime spot to mingle with all these types.
Known as the "Marly". A range of music, from bands, DJs and techno events in Tokyo Sing Song downstairs. Crowd is a melting pot of ages and professions, although often attracts many uni students.
