Overview
Sydney might still be a long way from a full restoration of the nighttime economy decimated by the lockout laws, but, bit by bit, publicans and nightclub owners around the traps are clawing back ground and bringing back the party.
Earlier this year Club 77 launched weekly Sunday morning club 'night' Afters, and the latest initiative to get on-board is Roots A.M. It's a new, early, early morning shindig that, from December 16, will be taking over the bottom floor of The Flinders from 5am till midday every Saturday morning. The venue will close from 3am till 5am, but if you miss lockout hour or are in the mood for a quick drink after a late-night shift, you now have a place to go.
You may not have visited The Flinders for a while — let alone at 5am — but it was officially relaunched this year. Launching the first ever party will be Lokomotiv, joined by Marlie and Venda, both Roots DJs. Entry will $5 and the bar will be offering $7 tequila squash and vodka sunrises all morning. Which should take you right back to your uni days. Get more information and keep up with developments via the Facebook page.
Roots A.M. will run every Saturday from 5am till noon from December 16. For more info, visit the Facebook group.
