Default Sydney CBD Thursday Evening Drinks - St Georges Day - 23rd April

This Thursday is St Georges Day, and what better way to celebrate than with some Thursday evening drinks?

Given the Georgy theme of it all, I think we should meet at The Royal George, on George Street from 6:30.

The Royal George

This usually means meeting in the top bar for some drinks and a bite to eat, then moving down stairs for some frames of free pool, so if you come later on, that's where we will be.

I also think we should try and make it special by bringing along something very English to mark the occasion. I am heading out to buy a cup of tea now. I hope it will keep until Thursday...

OK I have just booked the Ibis Hotel. I will be down there nice and early, but the wife is working until 8 in one of those nice CBD towers...she will come along later.

Can I bring a rainy day - like the one we are having now, and my England flag?

The Royal George does serve pints!

And free nuts (if you don't get caught pinching them from the pokie room)

Hey PB,

Completely off thread I know, but I found a gas bottle powered heater at Bunnings for $50. You sort of screw the element directly on to the top of your gas bottle. Not quite a SuperSER, but almost.
