Good music comes at a cost :(

My rankings would be:

1. Annandale Hotel
2. Metro Theatre
3. Enmore Theatre
4. Gaelic Club
5. Horden Pavillion (for bigger bands)

Haha yeah, bull n bush and the castle hill tav are probably the only two free places i know, decent bands, thats another thing.

Annandale, Metro, Gaelic are probably my picks for local acts

I don't know about the Spectrum, it seems like a venue for softer bands, when i saw 67 Special there, it just felt kinda wrong, theyre a band with so much energy, and the place seemed too pretty for that. On that experience i didn't rate it too highly.
