Palms On Oxford Nightclub

Unpretentious Fun

Palms is a local favorite with retro themed music and decor. The bar has a low-key, working-class-style club with large weekend night crowds.

Don't go! Manager is on a hair trigger to create trouble! Security forcibly manhandled us out of the club, because the manager thought we were high on drugs or heavily drunk. (I had a lemon lime and bitters, other 2 had a cyder. No other alcohol prior to visiting the club. And aren't the drug-taking type!) Even after explaining we were perfectly sober to the security guard, the manager said no to re-entry, and decided to change his story to "erratic" dancing endangering other people! We are in our early 60s! Our dance was hip-hop moves! It's a dance club! How do you determine what dances are acceptable and others not?? Manager just decided to target us for some unknown, and nonsensical reason. We are owed an apology and what we got back was nasty responses from a manager who is very vindictive. Other recent reviews are also showing similar stories of bad judgment calls, making stuff up out of thin air - All part of Michael the manager!

Great Place To Start Gay Pub Crawl

My friends and I started our night here, and we and a blast. Fun crowd with lots of cute boys(my best friend hooked up w/a guy who was into older men).We went back several times while we were in Sydney. Give it a try you'll thank me later!

Assholes for bouncers

Went for drinks went outside for a cigarette and the bouncers who had too much Lebanese testosterone decided they needed to play we have the power as their dicks were obviously too small to please their sad hairy girlfriends wouldn't let us back in and refused to show their I'd as they knew they were just being power sad assholes don't bother going .. Go stonewall it's much more relaxed !!

Unpretentious and great music

Palms has no cover fee and plays mostly 80's and 90's music with a bit of current tunes thrown in. Always busy and can be very crowded as its a small venue. Get there around 10:30-11:00pm as any later and you'll be queuing up outside. Fun place, great music and no attitude.
