Rustys

Great location for drinking, dancing and picking up. Always busy on weekends and being a backpackers hotel, the people visiting are always changing. Perfect for a no-strings annonymous encounter.

Best time
All hours
Crowd
All types inc many foreign backpackers.
Watch out
On busy nights, very hard to get a drink at the bar due to large queues.

The guide

Where exactly

Entry via Sheridan Street. Go up the Gilligans driveway ramp and proceed to the back right hand corner of first level. Entry via Grafton Street. Enter into Gilligans and walk to the end of the path, passed reception, and turn left at the toilets. Enter the stairwell to the right and climb to the first or second level.

Cruisiest spot: First Level Carpark: back right hand corner.*brSecond Level Carpark: against wall adjoining Gilligans.br*Toilets: Ground level before entering starwell from Grafton Street entrance.

When to go

All hours. Best times: Best times are between midnight and 3am Tue, Fri, Sat & Sundays.

Etiquette

Guys hang around these areas, mainly carpark level 2, and pick up backpackers from hotel at the back of the property by a simple rub and nod of the head. Toilets are great for privacy when the bar is closed. Busy location when bar is open.

Safety

On busy nights, very hard to get a drink at the bar due to large queues. Drinks are served in plastic cups. No guests are allowed into the accommodation areas of the hotel after 10pm. Security staff are a bit uptight. Security patrol these areas very rarely on weekends and practically never on weekdays and generally walk away rather than cause a scene, however to avoid problems and to keep this a thriving area, I suggest you do the same in that situation.
