James from Surry Hills Pick of the litter- better than Excelsior on most nights, I agree with Megan that it truly is one of Sydney's last bastions of real music- right near the belvior theatres too so you can get in the full cultural fix for a weekend =) 16 May 2004 paul from surry hills i just moved to the area, so went with my girlfriend to check my new local, the hoey. a guy called Dave Hibbert was playing, and he blew our minds. just playing accoustic guitar and singing. the next two bands were average, but i'll be back to check him out again!!! keep up the good work hoey!!! 7 Mar 2004 Tony from Sydney Lenny, try breastroke. The Hoey redeems Sydney. Thanks 'whoever' for not turning it into another souless poker machine filled den. 11 Feb 2004 Megan from Potts Point Thank god we still have one or two real pubs left! The Hopetoun is a true place, with great music and a good vibe. Go to the Hopetoun to avoid pretentious fakes, and crap music. (proof in Lenny's comment) 26 Jan 2004 Jeff from Sydney (two mins walk from the Hoey) I feel for you Lenny, not being able to pick up is a real drag. Maybe the chicks you were trying it on with weren't impressed that you used the word "swum" instead of "swam" when explaining how you got your physique. As for the Hoey, great venue - one of an almost dead breed. Thankfully it's well supported, so hopefully it'll keep going. 9 Jul 2003 annasleater from stanmore there are some great bands which play here, and I will always keep coming back. but the stage is tooo low, so if you are slightly shorter than average (and not by much!) you can't see a damn thing unless you are right up the front. 25 Jun 2003 Lenny Krayzelburg from USA I swum backstroke in the olympics. I could not pick up here. It sucks date unknown Laura from Newtown I went for the first time the other night when Sarah Harmer was playing -man, I was blown away! date unknown
