Darling Nikki’s is the a live music venue that says a big No! to pokies, we have a passion for music and without the lucrative and destructive lure of the buckets of money pokies bring in we constantly face an uphill battle of keeping prices affordable and the doors open.

We believe that the live music scene in Sydney is on the brink and while another live music venue closing its door may not seem like a big deal. Small independent venues like Darling Nikkis are becoming an endangered species and while the larger venues thrive without these us the next Lime Cordial, Tame Impala, Midnight oil or Cold Chisel would never make the transition from garage to stage.

Music nurtures the soul and the only way we stay alive is if you support the grass roots artists that one day dream of being able to play venues like The Enmore or even Accor Stadium because without your support of by coming to gigs and buying a beer the future of live music is pretty grim.
