Arq Sydney took five years to research and build.

Sydney's only purpose built entertainment venue, it is genuinely unsurpassed in its facilities and flexibility.

Its comfort, stunning levels of finish and functionality combine aesthetically into the venue you need. The venue you wished for. The venue you can have.

Upstairs is “The Arena” – A classic pillar free space of height and depth which can be adjusted to create a multitude of environments and events.

The Arena offers a versatile central stage, large dance floor area, 2 large fully stocked bars that can serve any crowd, a full commercial kitchen plus various VIP areas, DJ booth and cloak room; there is also a large mezzanine floor which circles above the main arena and a separate outdoor smoking area.

The intelligent moving lighting rig and state of the art lasers will vitalize or hypnotize and the sound, of course is world class.

Downstairs is “The Vortex” – An air of sleek functionality. An aesthetic collection of light and shadow enfolds a large fully stocked bar, another stage also suited to bands and production shows, DJ booth, lounges and pool tables.

Back of house are the dressing rooms with their own entrance and direct stage access.

The Vortex also boasts its own chill out room or VIP lounge area, cloak room, outdoor smoking area and full production, sound and lighting equipment.

The Arena and the Vortex operate independently at the same time and or together as one mega, world class night club.

ARQ SYDNEY is available for hire Monday to Friday for special events, including but not limited to private promoters of International DJ’s, live bands, CD or product launches and or corporate events, functions and commercials.
