BEST LIVE MUSIC VENUE: ROCK: ANNANDALE HOTEL
We are so glad that last year’s best Endangered Venue is this year’s Best Rock venue. The brother Rule continue to preside over the Annandale Hotel and after over 12 years dedicated to “the rock” they show no signs of tiring. Whilst their battles with council are not over, the venue continues to serve up the best in occasional theatre, weekly cult cinema (with our own Jay Katz and Miss Death) and of course a staple diet of the finest Sydney, Australian and international rock bands to grace the sticky, gaffer riddled, beer-stained stage. If you have not stage dived at the Annandale, you have not rocked in Sydney. (Chris Peken)
