Frankie's Pizza closure: Queues line Sydney streets as Wolfmother plays before ... trends now
Hundreds of revellers have lined the streets of Sydney's CBD for one last hurrah at one of the city's most iconic late-night spots before it shuts its doors for good this weekend.
Frankie's Pizza, on Hunter St in the city, will shut on Sunday after exactly 10 years of business and will farewell Sydney with an event aptly named 'Day of Debauchery.'
The party has ended - not because the owners were tired or needed a change - but because the building is being bulldozed for the construction of the new Sydney Metro.
Famous for its rock and roll sounds, daily $1 pizza slice specials and secret 'Fun Room', massive crowds flocked to the iconic CBD underground venue on Wednesday night for a final taste of the action.
Footage taken by TikTok user 'martymcnuggets' showed scores of people lined up outside the dingy basement club hoping to get a last glimpse of the bar.

The TikToker gave a joke frown to the camera as she captioned the video: 'POV when you try and visit Frankie's Pizza one last time before it closes this weekend.'
Late-night socialites were seen waiting in a massive queue that stretched 250m from the front of Frankie's before wrapping around the block.
Frankie's fans waited patiently to enter the venue for one last slice of cheesy pizza and a nightcap in a brightly coloured plastic cup.
They packed the underground bar for a free gig and watched 2000s Australian rock icons Wolfmother perform their Grammy Award-winning catalogue of hits.
'Y'all I’m so sad this iconic pizza parlour and bar is closing down… can’t the metro take a different route instead,' martymcnuggets wrote.
The NSW government announced 18 months ago Frankie's would make way for a new metro line linking Parramatta to the CBD.
Last month, Frankie's launched 'The Final Campaign' to farewell Sydney which on December 1 started with 'The beginning of the End' and will end with the 'Decade of Debauchery' on Sunday.
'It's time to leave our legions, farewell our four walls, and finish at our most f***ing fearsome,' a Frankie's statement read.
The iconic pizza parlour and bar opened in 2012 and quickly became a favourite for late-night Sydneysiders and international visitors
