Every local neighbourhood in Sydney has a weird street. Perhaps it’s some suburban occupants that give the place a trifle too much character.

Maybe it’s a type of freakish architecture or local feature that makes the street just a trifle bit curious, or altogether awesome.

You wouldn’t dare bring a first date to any of them – but somehow, they’re all brilliant. What is Sydney’s “best worst” bar, what antics have you seen at them, and what makes them so good?
