BX After Dark
Bathurst… but later
You know Bathurst by day...This is Bathurst after dark.
Something is shifting across the city. Lights on, doors open, music up, glasses clinking, streets coming alive in new ways.
BX After Dark is bringing a fresh pulse to Bathurst nights, and this is just the beginning.

What's Coming
Think less “quiet night in”… more:
- Late-night bites you didn’t know you needed
- Unexpected pop-ups and hidden gems
- Music, movement and moments worth staying out for
- Events that turn “just one drink” into a whole night
This isn’t one venue or one night.
It’s a whole city turning up the volume.
First Events Dropping
We’re kicking things off with a series of signature nights across Bathurst each with its own flavour, vibe and reason to stay out a little longer.
