What reviewers say

The rooftop bar is frequently praised for its great atmosphere, music, and live entertainment, offering a pleasant experience. However, multiple visitors report being denied entry to the venue, with some feeling it is no longer inclusive despite its past reputation.

About this place The Colombian Hotel

The Colombian Hotel occupies a substantial corner position on Oxford Street and has been part of the Darlinghurst gay landscape for many years. The venue's scale — multiple bars across several levels, with an upstairs entertainment space — gives it a different character from the smaller pubs that dot the Oxford Street strip. The downstairs bar is busy throughout the evening and draws a mixed gay crowd; the upstairs venue runs themed nights, entertainment, and events that vary by day of the week. The Colombian's positioning on Oxford Street, close to the Taylor Square end of the strip, makes it a convenient option for early evening drinking and a natural stop before or after Arq or Stonewall. The bar has maintained a loyal following among Oxford Street regulars across multiple changes in Sydney's nightlife landscape, demonstrating a resilience that reflects genuine community embeddedness rather than novelty or trend. For visitors to Oxford Street, the Colombian is a reliable and unpretentious option — a gay bar that does what gay bars are supposed to do without requiring a particular dress code, club night admission, or advance planning.

Avoid - many staff and security rude & extremely unprofessional. Bouncers push women around and record them on phone videos. Discrimination is next level.
