Halloween @ Hibernian

Hibernian house is a sick warehouse style apartment complex near Central in the city. The whole place is covered in graffiti and they throw a mean party. Good local rock bands, underground Sydney scene.

Happy Birthday Deus!

Shady Pines Saloon

Shady Pines Saloon lies behind an unmarked door in an alleyway off Oxford St. The venue is themed after an old western Saloon with kitch to match all over the place. The bar looks good from behind its layers of string lights and mounted jackalopes and the crowd scene was hip, younger and relaxed. To cap it off the place has an excellent selection of brews and its pretty darn close to my residence. Barkeep! Send down another round, I think I'm gonna be a regular.

The Doghouse

The Doghouse is the Height of swankiness. A speak-easy in the center of Darlinghurst with no more street presence than a dapper 20's style girl standing with a list in front of a blank door. After discovering the place in the inter-webz, I placed my name on the list along with Adam and Spencer and went the same night. Turns out its their last weekend and I am glad I got to see it before it closed.

As you can see the bottles hang above the bar on pulley systems, with copper counter weights and everything is very prohibition chic haha.

Swanky is the word to describe this spot.

City Nights

So the other night Brittany came out to the city for the Sydney International Food Festival event, the Noodle Markets. Every year about 50 noodle shops set up pop-up stores in the park and sell their various forms of noodles and asian cuisine and sydney-siders from all over come eat and bring beer and wine and relax in the park. Its a really cool event and right next to our apartment.

After enjoying some good food and a couple beers while listening to the DJ in the park we decided to try a new bar I'd heard of near by. Down a tiny alley off the hustle and bustle of George st. you'll find Grasshopper. A small, 2 level bar and eatery hidden off the beaten path with a really cool

style and amazing cocktail menu. Grasshopper is well near our house and in th

e center of roaring CBD, but feels

exclusive and private with its decor and location.
