Sydney CBD Thursday Night Drinks - November 5th - All welcome
 
Another Thursday looms, and so I guess it's time to think about another set of Thursday drinks. It will be November the 5th, which is Guy Fawkes night, but I can't find anything really suitable to do, so I thought we should go for a beer instead. I thought about bringing some indoor fireworks, but apparently they are illegal.

This week, I suggest The Dundee Arms, on Sussex Street (161), next to the 4 Points Sheratton Hotel. I think It may actually be part of that, but they serve pints, so what the hell. Looks like they don't have a website of their own, so here's the entry from SydneyPubGuide.

It says Modern Australian cuisine, so I guess that means the usual selection of schnizel and steak. Probably no decent pies :(

So who can we count on to attend this week? I'm looking forward to some beers tomorrow night, particularly after 2 weeks off!

Ps. How was the Belvedere?

Welcome back to the drinking party Mr S. The Belvedere was an intimate affair, only the 3 of us but it was still a good night. We should put that back on the list since no-one got to experience it and the staff are really friendly and the food is good....

I will be out tomorrow, not sure what time as I have a meeting which is threatening to run late but I am not far away so will pop in regardless....

I shall attend. I feel like I'm about to fall into my silly ways again with drinking nearly everyday of the week. Cant wait lol.

That's exactly how I feel after the last couple of weeks of abstinence!

I was sad to miss out on the Belvedere - It's always good to go somewhere new. I should post up the pints listing again, so we have a note of where we have been...

I'll be there - although after three weeks of Essex induced liver damage and chronic jet lag, it might be a short teetotal visit......

Work permitting - will show my face. Still shocked that Punky made it past our friends at Border Patrol. Ah, the whiff of kulfi..

If that isn't a good name for an album - i don't know what is. I digress...

Oh Vix - you wait until you see him!!! You'll be on that plane earlier than Xmas, in fact you'll be at Kingsford Smith tomorrow just begging them to take you to the nearest British curry house so you too can get an ice cream stuffed penguin...

Unfortuantly a last minute change of plans means we won't be going tonight.:(:
