Apparently it is officially winter now so lets go and warm ourselves up on Thurs with a few drinks....

Anyone have any suggestions of new bars to visit or any good bars they want to revisit?

all suggestions welcome - my head is starting to hurt having to come up with somewhere different each week.

We could do the Hotel CBD - http://www.merivale.com/hotelcbd/groundbar

who's in?

I'm afraid that I will be away this week - probably lying dead in a car wreck somewhere between Broken Hill and Adelaide. If that doesn't happen, then I expect to be back for drinks next week.

A big thanks to Vix for keeping the meet going while I will be away...

We could try that out - a review i read said it was quite small, does pints in real glasses with handles and the food comes from the hotel it is connected to....

161 Sussex Street between king and market street - Looks like this is our pub this week unless anyone has any other suggestions?

I'll pop down for a look. Last week was quite a good one and I had the hangover on friday to prove it.

OK, I may now be coming and i have Friday off to boot. The Dundee Arms is a nice enough pub but normally very quite and small and full of people staying in the hotel. Just trawling through the pub guide, these are their suggestions:
The Mountbatten: http://www.sydneypubguide.net/pubs/Mountbatten.aspx
Red Oak: http://www.sydneypubguide.net/conten...Beer_Cafe.aspx

Thanks for the suggestions... to ease confusion I say we meet at the Dundee Arms for a drink and then decide if we want to stay or move on, we haven't done the City Hotel since it has been done out and is just around the corner if need be. Anyone planning on ariving after 7.30pm should give one of us a call in case we have moved on and if you don't have anyone's number then send me a PM with your number and I will keep you posted.

Plan is - Meet at the Dundee Arms from 6.30pm then see what the general consensus is
