Observer Hotel in The Rocks

Cool retro pub with a modern feel. Good for dining and a catch up with friends or a casual work lunch. Total of 26 taps but most of the beers are double up

The Famous in Glendale California USA

Cool little craft beer bar with 18 taps of craft beer that rotate on a regular basis. The place is also “famous” for cocktails

Hotel Illawarra in Wollongong

Live music Thursday and Sundays and free popcorn is always a winner. On my visit I had Young Henry’s Dunies lager. Not a place […]
