Darlinghurst nightlife institution Club 77 will temporarily close in 2026 to undergo a major accessibility-focused redesign, made possible by Sound NSW's Venue Upgrade Grant.
The venue will shut its doors on Monday, April 13, 2026, and aims to reopen on Thursday, June 4, 2026 with a completely reimagined space that prioritises inclusivity.
