Midnight Shift to Close Upstairs Club for Revamp

The Midnight Shift will hold its last dance party on Saturday, October 4. The venue will close for a month after the Sleaze weekend so the upstairs section of the gay owned and operated club can be renovated and turned into a bar. According to the owner, Tim Berry, it’s going to be a new-style bar and a new-style gay clientele.

Berry blames the internet for the change to the scene and says that the party crowd just don’t party every weekend like they used to.

Carpet will be ripped up, new bars installed and a whole new interior installed. DJ's will still form part of the entertainment.

Berry is still being a little secretive about the complete concept, stating that he wants it to be a bit intriguing at this stage.

Given the demise of other gay hotels and bars of late, hopefully the new Shift Upstairs will give a new lease of life on the scene in Sydney.
