It’s almost summer and there’s a new beer in town, calls for a massive themed party right? The Lawn at Ivy was transformed into ‘Brewtopia’ for the official launch of Pure Blonde White Larger last Tuesday. The theme was Pure White Summer turning the once green lawn into a sea of white party peeps including [...]
Holy smokes Batman there’s a new bar in town! Oxford St welcomes the new addition of Gotham and whilst capes and masks are optional, you might feel more at home dressed as a 1950’s New Yorker. Stepping off the trashy end of Oxford St and into Gotham you’re transcended into a chic world of crimson [...]
I love things that are hard to find…especially when it’s food and wine! The harder it is to find the more rewarding it feels when you finally consume it. Sticky Bar in Surry Hills falls into this category. Look away now if you don’t want to know where it is or why you should go [...]
Oxford Hotel, Darlinghurst This blog is dedicated to the endless possibilities and excitement of the east, but going out 5 nights week in Sydney’s Eastern suburbs can have its drawbacks. All eat, drink and no play makes Jack (or Ms Darlinghurst) a fat boy (or girl). You’re bank balance gets a brutal beating. You [...]
Another bar has opened in Darlinghurst!! I love living in the east! Shady Pines Saloon opened three weeks ago and is the latest addition to the Surry Hills/Darlinghurst small bar craze. My friend Blondie and I went to check it out the other night and here’s what we thought: Location: Like all good bars popping [...]
The last few Fridays have been rainy and miserable and the last thing most people feel like doing is eating ice blocks and sorbet. But if you’re an addict like me anytime, rain or shine warrants frozen concoctions. Step away from the usual Friday 5.30pm beer or G&T and try something different at Zeta Bar [...]
Last Saturday I took my flat-mate (I’ve referred to her in the past as Tweedle Dee) out for a belated birthday date. Being a fellow lover of eating, drinking and playing in Sydney’s east I wanted to take her somewhere new, somewhere different. We jumped in a cab and headed to 87 Albion St on [...]
I discovered Ching-a-lings last year on a sunny Sunday afternoon in October some time. I’d been at The Beresford (which was surprisingly really dead) having lunch with a friend. A few drinks under our belt we decided to channel our domestic responsible side and buy groceries for the week. There we were at the checkout, slightly [...]
Night at The Club-Kings Cross We all have our alter ego’s that come out to play when the line of sobriety gets crossed. Some get sloppy, others aggressive, some are slutty and some are just plain silly. This part of the story is about two of my closest girlfriends who, for the purpose of this [...]
It’s been proven time after time that some of the best nights out are those we don’t plan. Case in point was last Saturday, just another typical hot and sunny summers day in Sydney’s east. For the first time in months the diary was obligation free and my flat mate and I were left to [...]
This year my friends threw me a ‘surprise’ party for my birthday. I asked them to. Over the years I’ve realised that the stress of planning a birthday party often out weighs fun on the night. This year I decided to pass the stress on to my friends, after all aren’t birthdays meant to be [...]
