Club Nevermind
Editorial
Gone are the days when a nightclub had to be a multi-level gargantuan monster of a place. These days we appreciate smaller venues that have an edge. Given the competition that can easily swallow up any newcomers on Oxford Street, Nevermind made some clever choices early on.
Firstly, they went boutique style. The gay community had well and truly moved past generic venues that seemed more about quantity than quality, and when Nevermind opened its doors several years ago, it was just what Sydney's queer scene needed.
There's an underground feel with dark moody lighting, red banquettes, and street style art which depicts wild and even slightly sinister creatures who set the tone for a rather cheeky night out, to say the least. Then of course there are those famous mouth-shaped urinals - simultaneously titillating and scary! Nevermind is indeed a fusion of art, fashion and of course music. A consistently strong line-up of DJs play electronic, house and tech-house, and their specially designed sound system was money well spent.
Nevermind pulls a young crowd who prefer to keep their designer t-shirts on rather than embrace the gay male standard of the topless dance. While it is a mixed venue, most of the acts such as Amanda Lepore, Courtney Act et al tend to attract a more male-orientated crowd.
Drinks are reasonably priced for a club, and the bar staff are a breath of fresh air compared to other venues where staff demeanor can be a little wanting. A great asset to Oxford Street.
