Basement club on Oxford Street with a sunken dancefloor, hip hop, R&B and grime on Friday and Saturday, with DJs until 05:00.

The Cliff Dive is a tiki-themed basement club at 16-18 Oxford Street, Darlinghurst. Time Out describes tropical cocktails and a sunken dancefloor, and the venue calls itself Sydney's wildest watering hole. On Friday and Saturday nights it plays 90s and 00s hip hop and R&B, along with grime and trap, and stays busy into the early hours.

Time Out reports DJs until 05:00 and a happy hour on Friday and Saturday from 20:00 to 21:00, with house spirits at A$9. A past event page lists it as 18+. Bookings, bottle service and student deals are handled through the venue. It is next door to Oxford Art Factory, so it pairs with a gig. Not for you if you want a quiet drink.
