If you and your flatmates are looking for somewhere to eat in Sydney and want to do it on a small budget, then you’ve come to the right place! We’ll have a series of reviews of cheap and affordable cafes, restaurants, bars and clubs around Sydney coming up in the next few weeks.
So, let’s kick things off!
RESTAURANT REVIEW – The Italian Bowl
255 King St
Newtown
Prices: Great considering the large serving sizes. $10 for basic pastas, up to $15 for veal and chicken main dishes.
Food: Serving sizes are generous, and food is always fresh and delicious.
Service: Speedy and very friendly.
Atmosphere: Awesome. There are tables for groups, as well as a bench with stools if you come alone or with a friend. 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.
Public transport: Bus stop just outside the restaurant, or Newtown train station 150m down the road
RATING: 9/10

Are you new to your Furnished Apartment in Sydney?
One thing you may not know yet is that Sydney has great music. Whether you and your flatmates like your music live and loud or soft and sultry, there’s a show out there for you. And usually it’s pretty cheap! Prices for quality live music shows and club nights in Sydney usually start as low as $10. 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
THE BAND: Dappled Cities are one of Sydney’s best indie-rock exports. They’ve toured Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US extensively, and they’ve helped to make the Sydney indie scene what it is today.
If you haven’t already heard these guys, check out the sound (and their awesome video clip!) here:

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?
