Are you a football fanatic? Are you the one that kicks your flatmates in the shins for calling rugby or AFL “football”, or calling football “soccer”? Then you’re going to LOVE Sydney this June and July! FIFA World Cup Fan Fest events will be taking over the city of Sydney from the 11th June – 12th July – and everything is free! Here’s a quick run down of some of the events:
LIVE PUBLIC BROADCASTS
3 massive screens will be floating on Cockle Bay, with a 4th mounted in Tumbalong park. Games will be broadcast live on the screens, and anyone can go! Take some mates and enjoy the games.
STREET SOCCER
Some of Australia’s best street soccer players will be taking to the pitch – on water! There’ll be a floating soccer pitch on Cockle Bay and, once again, it’s free to watch the games.
ENTERTAINMENT
If that wasn’t enough, the Fan Fest website assures us that there will be a “dynamic entertainment programme” to be announced. To keep up to date with what’s happening and when, check out the FIFA Fan Fest website:

RESTAURANT REVIEW – The Italian Bowl

Newtown
Prices: Great considering the large serving sizes. $10 for basic pastas, up to $15 for veal and chicken main dishes.

The bench looks into the kitchen which is completely exposed to the restaurant, and the chefs are always talkative, funny and very friendly. In addition, the walls are covered with the signatures of the celebrities that have eaten at the restaurant.
Take Away: Yes
EFTPOS: Yes
Close to: Bars, pubs, cafes – it’s right in the middle of Newtown’s lively King St.

So whip out your diaries – here are the details of some of the best musical nights out on offer in the coming months…
INDIE ROCK: Dappled Cities @ Manning Bar

Scubar makes its home in one of the best possible locations to draw in a solid backpacker crowd. It is directly below the Sydney Central YHA, and it is a hop, skip and a jump from Central Station! How much easier can it get, seriously?
photo credit: Orin ZebestThe word on the street, however, can go completely one way or the other depending on the person you ask. And, when the website lists crab racing and all you can eat pizza as some of its activities for the week, you can see why!
I took a look at eatability.com and found some interesting reviews for Scubar:
What do you think, Furnished Property tenants? Is Scubar the best backpackers bar in Sydney, or does it leave you with nothing but a headache and empty pockets?
