Inner West · Newtown

One night I’d spend in Newtown

My pick

A film at the Dendy, 261 King Street. It has ten screens and a bar.
Dinner at Thai Pothong, 294 King Street, open since 1996 and big enough for 450. Expect at least one birthday song.
Late: Pleasure Club, the basement bar under King Street by Newtown station. It was the first Newtown venue in a century to get a 4am licence, seven nights a week.

Housing mix: 52.0% semis and terraces, 39.8% apartments, just 5.0% freestanding houses. Most homes are rented.
Pockets: King Street and Enmore Road together make up the longest and most complete late-Victorian and Federation commercial precinct in Australia. Behind them are narrow Victorian terraces, many of them two-up two-down.
Transport: Newtown station on the Inner West lines, plus buses along King Street.
Schools in and around the suburb include Australia Street Infants, Camdenville Public, Newtown Public, North Newtown Public and Newtown High School of the Performing Arts. Catchments are address-specific, so check yours on NSW School Finder.
Newtown is split between the City of Sydney and Inner West councils.
