Hi Folks,

Another Thursday drinks looms towards us, and this week the Alphabetical odyssey takes us to the letter Q.

No chance I hear you cry - and you're almost right - there is no Queen Vic. There is, however, The Quarrymans Hotel, in Pyrmont.

The Quarrymans

This is exactly opposite the Kirk that we went to a couple of weeks ago, and it's not too bad - has a nice upstairs part with a couple of pool tables for Vix to take advantage of.

So, who is in?

The alternative to the Quarrymans is the QUAY BAR in Circular Quay, it is more central if people are not wanting to travel over to Pyrmont?

Lets have a quick poll...

Quarrymans or the Quay Bar?

Hmmm. That would work as well. And you're right - it is much more central than Pyrmont.

Let's leave it for the masses to decide...

as much as I'd like to witness vix taking advantage of a pool table, the quay is easier for me

I vote for Quay too - not least as it's right by the bus stop home. And that magician man might turn up again! And should anyone be pining for pool, there's always the Paragon opposite you can shoot off to for a game, then come back!

My boyfriend and I just arrived in Sydney 2 weeks ago and are both working in the CBD! Would be great to meet up with everyone. From what little we've seen so far of Sydney, Quay would be great!

We're down that way for a weekend break so may well pop in for a pint if that's ok but would like to know which one you're going to

Quay Bar for me - right across the road from the office and from the ferry home!

The Poll has closed and the venue has overwhelmingly been decided..

We will be going to the Quay Bar which is the ground level of Customs House in Circular Quay. Usual meeting time is 6.30pm - for any new people coming along please send me a PM so we can sort out mobile numbers for you to call in case you can't find us...

I will not be there until around 8pm as I have client xmas drinks tonight so apologies in advance for slurring...
