Camelot Lounge

Newtown & the Inner West


In increasingly hip Marrickville, this eclectic little venue hosts jazz, world music, blues, folk, comedy, cabaret and various other offbeat genres. There are two bars; it's worth booking online or getting here early as it often sells out. The atmosphere is one of sit-down-and-appreciate rather than stand and dance. It's very close to Sydenham station. Check the website for show times.

Simple pizza and meze on disposable plates are on hand and there's bar service.
