I didn't feel as tho I was in Sydney/Melbourne/Timbuktu - I just felt 'at home'.<br /><br />The problem seems to be that because so many people have taken to it - and so few other pubs seem to be willing to try anything other than ten taps all serving Toohey's New or Carlton Draught with a side-serve of slot machines - that real beer people are restricted to hitting the one venue. I'd still rather be standing ten-deep at a bar to get a pint of Hargreaves Hill ESB than nursing a pot of VB and having the place to myself. There was nothing wrong with the vibe!<br /><br />And that guy, let me reply by saying;<br /><br />The world don't move to the beat of just one drum<br />What might be right for me may not be right for some<br /><br />A man is born, he's a man of means<br />Then along come two, they got nothin' but their jeans<br /><br />But they got Diff'rent Strokes<br />It takes Diff'rent Strokes<br />It takes Diff'rent Strokes<br />to move the world<br /><br />Everybody's got a special kind of story<br />Everybody finds a way to shine,<br />It don't matter that you got not alot<br />So what,<br />They'll have theirs, and you'll have yours, and I'll have mine.<br />And together we'll be fine....<br /><br />Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.<br />Yes it does.<br />It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.<br /><br />Cheers<br />Prof PilsnerBeer Blokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934635864972515138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689420909032124637.post-34317007161304116242010-05-17T16:28:58.649+10:002010-05-17T16:28:58.649+10:00Making your way in the world today

In retrospect, I did enjoy the sights that night, but would have enjoyed it more had it not been the most popular bar in town that night.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528954325994743167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689420909032124637.post-6597035375841764312010-05-17T16:19:10.326+10:002010-05-17T16:19:10.326+10:00Sounds like you were there on Saturday night.

I love this place dearly but don't often venture in on a Friday or Saturday as it's just gotten too damn busy. Especially when there is a football game on. I find it perfect on a Wednesday or Thursday. You're not fighting to get to the bar. You can always grab a seat. Food service is much quicker and you can have a chat the the staff about what's good as the beer menu is always changing.<br />Thank god Sydney finally got a pub like this.Shanenoreply@blogger.com
