The local taphouse is a micro brewary and been recently voted the best beer in sydney.
The beresesford in surry hills is a great pub which has just gone a multi million $ revamp ... it can be a bit snooty

Maquaire Hotel is a micro brewery too.
Durty, Porterhouse and I think forbes are all irish bars

"Irish bars" is a vauge imo.
you hear people all the time say "I don't drink in irish Bars", as if it makes them better than other people. I agree, some are annoying, full clowns, and the place to portray some ridic image of ireland. But you get aussie/english/etc bars that are just as annoying too.
There are plenty of decent bars that happen to be Irish "be it the name, the owner etc" and don't try and force some poxy image down your throat.

Dirty's is a nice bar, small, quite at times, excellant food, and prob the best guiness you see in australia. (it consistantly sells the most in NSW dispite being reletively small). The memory will prob start to go for some of the later ones

Coileach dearg

Myself and the GF are in for this, will just about make the 1 o'clock kick off, have to drop the housemates off at the airport and speed back.

We're doing a sort of reverse of this tomorrow evening starting off in the Angel bar in Angel place (5.30) if anyone is around, finishing up in the Crown in Surry Hills.

Hope we get to watch the sunset and harbour bridge from Sweeney's rooftop terrace!!

Tis the silly season surely!

Slunk

Where is sweeneys. That sounds like a nice spot

Corner of druitt and clarence.
The rooftop is really nice! the down stairs is a bit of a old man pub.
But upstairs is cool!

I am extremely stoked for this, looking forward to seeing a few of these bars too, hopefully the weather holds up like, like it is for Operah! (i can't believe the hype)

Should be a few of us heading too... Great work organising this

Of course just turn up, lots of people won't know each other, good way to socialise

Gutted I missed it. Stupid delivery people not getting there till 6. I'm sure it was an eventful night (as all boards nights tend to be)
