Another Sydney Venue Closes: 'Barry Got Us'

The Sydney lockouts are being blamed for claiming another venue, with Surry Hills’ The Flinders announcing its sudden closure.

The popular drinking hole held gigs irregularly, with a local Sydney emerging act focus, and went to Facebook today to announce the closure, stating “Barry got us in the end”.

NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell introduced controversial 'lockout' laws at the start of 2014, that are alleged to have claimed numerous Sydney venues since being implemented.

“We know it's sudden but please come in tonight and pour one out for your fallen homie. Thanks for all the good times. Peace, love, and picklebacks, from all of us at the flinders,” The Flinders posted on Facebook.

This follows Kings Cross venue The Bourbon falling victim to the lockouts in October and numerous parties rallying against the laws.
