More than 100 Sydney bars, pubs, and clubs will stop serving alcoholic drinks, turn down the music and switch off the lights on Friday night to protest the NSW government's licensing conditions.
The government argues the rules are designed to keep patrons safe, however, five venues have successfully applied to have those rules relaxed. Labor has promised to strike-out the current measures if it wins government on Saturday. Red tape and regulation have shaped up to be a key issue as voters prepare to head to the polls.

Why don't they all just stay open all night. That sort of protest would be much more fun🍻🍻
What a load of Crap.if you wanted to protest, DONT OPEN..but then no $s in that is there
How does not serving patrons help highlight the unhappiness with our lockout laws, wont it hurt their bottom line?
that's alright, everyone meet up at a friends place and party at home
Absolutely brilliant idea, 'lose more income, on top of the income your already losing'. Ay, whoever thought of that, was definitely a clever fucker.!!! Irish Pubs have gone out in sympathy of Sydney and are doing the same, after closing time.
Great, an invisible protest, that’ll change the world. 🤦🏼♂️
