Venue Detail
Gingers @ The Oxford Hotel
About this venue
Get ready for a night of glitter and glamour at this Darlinghurst jewel! đłď¸âđâ¨Located on the first floor of the historic Oxford Hotel, Gingers is Sydneyâs premier boutique cabaret and live performance lounge. It radiates a sophisticated "old-world New York" energy mixed with modern queer camp. With its plush red velvet curtains, mirror-lined walls, and intimate stage, itâs the place to go for world-class drag, live cabaret, and late-night disco. Tips for the Queer Community: Book Your Seat: Gingers is intimate and often hosts ticketed dinner-and-show events. If thereâs a big-name drag queen performing, grab your tickets early to ensure you aren't stuck at the back. Drag Royalty: This is a frequent haunt for RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under stars and local legends. Keep your eyes peeledâyou never know whoâs in the wings. Disco After-Dark: Once the cabaret shows wrap up, the space often transforms into a sweaty, high-energy disco dance floor. The Terrace: If you need a breather, the Oxford Hotel has a great balcony overlooking the bustling Oxford Streetâperfect for people-watching between sets. Late Night Eats: Being in the heart of Darlinghurst, youâre steps away from some of Sydneyâs best late-night kebab and pizza spots once the lights come up.
