About this place Ching-a-Lings

Ching-a-Lings is a small upstairs bar at 133 Oxford Street in Darlinghurst, on Sydney's main gay strip. It draws a queer crowd that leans lesbian and non-binary, and is a quieter alternative to the large clubs further along Oxford Street. It trades mainly from mid-week to the weekend and is busiest late on Friday and Saturday. The room is small, so expect it to fill quickly on big nights such as Mardi Gras.

Features

Gay Lesbian / Women-focused Mixed LGBTQ+ Chill / Relaxed Outdoor terrace

Always such a vibe. The cute bear that serves the drinks is such a baddie. Tip Campbell! ♡

We held an event here last weekend and it was fantastic. Tosh and the team were great hosts; the venue was cool and drinks reasonably priced! Good vibes and great set up, we will be back.

I absolutely love Ching-a-Lings. I am from Adelaide and every time I have visited Sydney I always come back. We stumbled across the place on a whim, and the vibes were just impeccable. You can visit on quieter nights of the week or early in the night for a more laidback vibe, or on busier evenings if you feel like a boogie. The bar staff are so friendly, the crowd is always vibing. You can always count on Ching-a-Lings for a good time. Also, some hotties there too ngl.

Best cocktails and super friendly team plus a DJ and dance floor. Been here many times and love the ambiance, and best cocktails in Sydney. Also great outdoor rooftop balcony for christmas team parties. We're having ours this year in this hidden gem on Oxford St
