The Colombian Hotel

(101 Ratings)
Two levels of fun
Downstairs video bar & upstairs nightclub make this a versatile and popular venue in the heart of Sydney. The beautifully renovated triangular historic building is worth the trip alone.

Nice place to start the night, but...

At its best in the afternoons/early evenings, but can turn trashy quite quickly, attracting a sizeable straight, and sometimes homophobic crowd. Keep your wits about you and know when to leave. On the upside, it has some of the most interesting decor on Oxford St.

A long way past it's best.

To be honest I have to second the concerns of a couple of reviewers below. Having been coming here since it first opened I now regularly walk straight past.

Not a great venue

The Columbian used to be a cool gay bar several years ago. Now, the bouncers are rude and aggressive. I saw a friend and patron rudely treated by so called security staff. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

The security at this bar have become increasingly rude, when they kick out regular patrons aggressively, I have been there since the opening,
