Carmens Nightclub Review

Review By Cassanne Ayre

If you ask anyone what’s a popular night spot to visit in the Sutherland Shire you will without a doubt here one single word; Carmens.

Carmens has been around for decades, I know this because I vaguely remember my parents telling me that they used to walk home from there after a Saturday night out. However, this doesn’t mean that it is old or out-dated. It is quite the opposite. There is always something interesting happening over the weekend that draws the overage and sometimes underage population of the Sutherland Shire. Although some do slander its reputation, Carmens is still a fun and exciting night out.

Usually, I am there on a Saturday night, it is always the busiest so I am always bumping into familiar faces. Carmens is open for business on both Friday and Saturday nights. Fabulous Fridays include $5 cocktails from 6-9pm, live soloists and duos from 6pm and funky DJs from 10pm. I personally haven’t visited Carmens on a Friday night, but the $5 dollar cocktails are worth going for. But take it from personal experience; Saturday night is the best night to go. There are always fantastic DJs that play constantly till the lights are turned on.

Carmens has previously hosted acts such as the Bagraiders, Hook and Sling and the Ashton Shuffle as well as numerous local up and coming DJs. You will always see young Shire folk lining up outside ready for a wild night out, and letting loose on the dance floor. Carmens also offers a fantastic function room for any type of event, whether it be a Hen’s night or 21st Carmens is always willing to cater for your chosen affair. You party is hosted in their private function room that hosts two separate bars and a large dance floor where your guests can dance the night away.

If you are ready to have a wild and eventful night, then Carmens is definitely the place for you. At Carmens the music is always loud and the drinks are always flowing, two essential ingredients for a fantastic night out!
