For Sydney pubs & bars

Give people a reason to visit.

Help people discover your venue through the trivia nights, happy hours,
food deals and good times you already offer.

Why list on NightScanner?

People don’t always search for a pub.
They search for something to do.

NightScanner helps people discover your venue through the things already happening there — from trivia and happy hour to live music, food specials and Sunday roasts.

Get found for what’s on

Someone looking for trivia, karaoke or a good happy hour might never search for your venue by name. NightScanner gives them another way to find you.

Give quieter nights a chance

Friday night might look after itself. Tuesday is different. Show people what’s happening throughout the week and give them a reason to consider coming in.

Show everything you do

Your venue, regular events, specials and activities can all live together, so people can quickly understand what you offer and what’s happening next.

You’re already putting the nights on.
NightScanner helps people find them.

Your venue on NightScanner

One venue. Every reason to visit.

Your NightScanner venue page brings your venue and everything happening there together, so people can discover the place — then see what gives them a reason to go.

Already on NightScanner?

Already listed? Make it yours.

You might find your venue or one of your events already on NightScanner. That’s because we’re building the directory around what’s already happening across Sydney. Claiming your listing lets us verify who you are and gives you a way to keep your information accurate.

I run the venue

Claim your venue

Take ownership of your venue listing and make sure the details, regular events and specials connected to it are accurate.

  • We confirm you’re connected to the venue.
  • Your existing listing stays in place.
  • You can update information attached to your venue.
  • We know future changes are coming from the right person.

I run an event

Only here to claim an event?

You don’t need control of the whole venue just because you run an event there.

If you’re an organiser, host or promoter, you can claim the event itself so you can help keep its details accurate.

Why do we verify claims?
Venue and event information affects real businesses. Verification helps us make sure the right people are making changes.

How it works

Get set up in a few simple steps.

Find your listing, verify your connection and start keeping your information up to date on NightScanner.

1

Find and claim your listing

Search for your venue or event. If it’s already on NightScanner, you can claim it. If not, you can add it.

2

Verify your connection

We’ll confirm you’re connected to the venue or event. This helps us keep information accurate and secure.

3

Manage and keep it up to date

Once verified, you can update your venue details, manage events and keep everything accurate for your patrons.

QUESTIONS? WE’VE GOT YOU.

A few things you might be wondering.

Whether you’ve found your venue already on NightScanner, want to add something new or just need to fix a detail, here’s how it works.

Why is my venue already on NightScanner?

NightScanner is built around what’s already happening across Sydney, so we may have created a basic venue or event listing from publicly available information. Claiming it lets us verify that you’re connected to the business and gives you a way to keep that information accurate.

What happens when I claim my venue?

Your existing listing stays right where it is. Once we’ve verified your connection to the venue, you’ll be able to manage the information associated with it and help keep your events, specials and venue details up to date.

I run an event at a venue, but I don’t own the venue. Can I still claim it?

Yes. If you’re the organiser, promoter or host of an event, you can claim the event itself without taking control of the venue’s listing.

How do you verify that I’m connected to a venue or event?

We’ll ask for enough information to confirm that you’re authorised to manage the listing. This may be through a business email or a few additional details. Verification helps protect venues from unauthorised changes.

What if something on NightScanner is wrong?

Please tell us. If you manage the venue or event, claiming the listing is the best way to keep it accurate. If you’ve spotted something that simply needs correcting, you can also contact us and we’ll take a look.

Can I add events and specials that aren’t already listed?

Yes. Once you’re connected to your venue, the idea is that your regular events, specials and other reasons to visit can sit alongside your venue listing — not just the events we’ve already discovered.

What happens when an event or special finishes?

Listings shouldn’t hang around pretending something is still happening when it isn’t. Finished or changed events can be updated or removed so people are seeing useful, current information.

Does it cost anything to be on NightScanner?

No. A standard NightScanner venue listing and your regular events can be listed for free. We may introduce optional promotional opportunities for venues that want additional visibility, but you won’t need to pay simply to be listed.
