Humanity’s divided into two factions – those that rise at the crack of dawn and are productive from the get-go, and those that slide into the day/peak when the sun’s finally pissed off. The latter are generally pretty useless for the first portion of the day (a lil’ slice of information that could easily segway this article in an entirely different direction based on the ridiculous nature of Australia’s nine-to-five business hours, but that’s a conversation for another time). But when those night owls are on, they’re on.
Yes, some of the finest minds to have ever walked this earth have had intellectual epiphanies in the wee hours of the night. It’s almost as if their brilliance is heightened by some other-worldly power, akin to the experience werewolves have when bathed in moonlight. It’s either that, or they’re just kind of turds until they’ve had several coffees.
But regardless of whether you’re all about late-night spurts of energy, or if you simply can’t sleep, sometimes all of us just need something to do when everything there is to do isn’t, y’know, doable (read: everything’s bloody shut).
So, what options do you have at your disposal when you’re chasing something to do at an ungodly hour? Try out these joints around Australia for size, y’all.
