Looks like the lockout laws up in Sydney are having a detrimental affect. Which is a shame.

I always find it amusing when articles like that say that Melbourne doesn't have any decent beaches. I live within walking distance of 4 of them!

Nice city but lots of the people seem to have chips on their shoulders. Reminded me of Rotterdam.

The bulk of 4.5 million people with chips on their shoulders? It always rains in Manchester, the French are arrogant and the Americans brash. Take hyperbole with a pinch of salt to put on all those chips methinks.

I find the quality of chips here to be pretty good, so I put them in my mouth rather than on other parts of my body.

Re: Melbourne does it yet again.... This time at Sydneys expense !!
According to the readers of Time Out magazine, the lock out laws have devastated the feel of night life and entertainment in Sydney and this is from it's own inhabitants. Surely that is cause for concern. ?
Time to do something about it IMO.
It's better to have a strong rivalry than a limp lettuce which Sydney has apparently become as a supposedly competing city for domestic tourists and potential internal migrants.
Hardly anyone mentions Sydney down here these days, because it's becoming increasingly irrelevant..... That's the sad part in this.
IF Sydney carries on much further down the gurgler and Brisbane will become the 2nd most important domestic tourism city.
I've always enjoyed my visits to Sydney, hope thats not become a thing of the past.

Seems like Melbourne is more concerned about Sydney's lockout laws than Sydney is.
Is that the chip thing?

Cant say trying to get into a nightclub at 3 am is really on my list of top ten things to I do on a Saturday night, but credit to the BE members getting out there then 
.
However nor is another of the surveys fascinating erm facts, threesomes are most common in Miami. Great will keep that in mind on this years roadtrip as I should be 23.92 % (whatever... ) less excited on a night out there than in Melbourne.
Not quite sure how the Miami club scene will handle my now rather high expectations but will see how it goes down

FWIW, I have not had a threesome in Melbourne.

Interesting that Sydney has nothing to do yet... alongside London it's hangover-central on a global scale.
And you definitely know the ranking is a joke when the world's epicentre of excitement turns out to be... Chicago.
Reminds me of those "best countries to live in" rankings where you see Denmark listed as #1 and then you don't even bother reading the rest...

Melbourne beaches is almost an oxymoron. In that abominable climate they must be used solely by penguins.

Have you still got a hang up over the Sydney CBD and Cronulla?
