Things to do in Marrickville
VN Street Foods, Marrickville
Marrickville is one of Sydney’s most exciting inner-west suburbs, known for its multicultural food scene, craft breweries and laid-back, artsy vibe. Visitors come for its fantastic eateries and live music venues, but also discover street art, local markets, leafy parks and a thriving community of makers, musicians and small businesses.
Once an industrial and agricultural centre, Marrickville’s old streets and warehouses are now home to breweries, theatres, phở diners, Greek delis, coffee roasters and natural wine bars. Its vibrancy, diversity and late-night nature have seen it awarded a Purple Flag (a global initiative showcasing areas with excellent vibrancy, diversity and safety at night), and a Time Out mention for being one of the coolest suburbs on Earth.
