Rainbow Precinct is on Gadigal Land of the Eora Nation and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. We acknowledge the Brotherboys, Sistergirls and all LGBTQIA+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Straddling both Darlinghurst and Surry Hills, The Rainbow Precinct welcomes and accepts all. From hidden rooftop bars and drag queen entertainment to the District’s lively clubs, delicious restaurants and iconic street art - glam, glitter and a good time is never too far away.
