So it's time for my last blog. This is Colin here reporting on a concert I went to at Manning Bar in USYD. If you didn't already know Manning Bar is a great place to see acts and bands from all over the world. I saw Soilwork on the 3rd of October.

 The show was amazing but I could just be saying that because I'm a massive fan haha. As for a review of manning bar I'd have to say it's one of my favorite spots in Sydney to catch a gig. It's very close distance to Redfern station, about a 10 minute walk and is located in the heart of Sydney University, which is great for any students there!

The dancefloor/moshpit and main stage

 It's a small, close and intimate venue that's perfect to watch a band.... Well provided they're not insanely popular like say One Direction, that's better left to bigger venues like Acer Arena! The beer prices were pretty typical of a venue bar ranging from $5 upwards depending on what you want to drink.
The acoustics of Manning Bar are really good and it's got a great speaker set up, so no worries there!

The outdoor/smoking area

The outdoors area was great to catch a break from the loud bands playing, and have a chat with mates. The concert ran from about 8 till around 12:30am and the tickets were $65 or $70 at the door, so overall a pretty great way to spend a night if you like rocking out! Catch Soilwork next time they're in Sydney if you can. Well that's it for me, catch you later!
