The Bank is a Newtown institution with a Middle Eastern focused menu and a range of drinks to enjoy in the beer garden or with DJs and live music. In their upstairs level, The Bank also hosts Birdcage every Wednesday night, Sydney’s only dedicated lesbian, queer and gender nonconforming party hosted by LGBTQIA+ DJs and performers. Also upstairs on Friday and Saturday nights is Waywards, which hosts live music from up and coming and established artists.
