Parlour Bar, The Morrison, Sydney

225 GEORGE STREET, SYDNEY

Reviewers: JB, Bot
Review time:  Wednesday lunchtime

"xxxxxxxxx xxxxxx Bar"

Generally if you have nothing good to say about something, don't say anything at all. We're keeping this fairly short. Parlour Bar is not really a pub anyway, in fact neither is The Morrison (The Morrison Bar & Oyster Room) that Parlour is a part of so not sure why we bothered. It sold beer and we were thirsty.

"Golden Olden"

 
Tucked away in the backstreets between Museum and Central train stations stands the golden-trimmed Hollywood Hotel. While just a hop, skip and stumble away from The Macquarie Hotel, the two neighbour pubs are worlds apart.

"CBD Hotel. City Burger Diner?"

Big arse 5-floor building in the CBD presents Merivale-run pub, CBD Hotel. It's located, you guessed it, in the CBD, and caters for all your corporate bar, bistro and function needs.

Newtown Social Club, Newtown

Time of review: Arvo beers, evening beers

"Stay tuned"

The Newtown Social Club is a new kid in town and takes form in the site which was once the 'Sando' (Sandringham Hotel) on King Street. The sunbaked, cracked and flakey terracotta-salmony coloured exterior is much the same but the inside is completely different. We have a look at the Newtown pub that comes from the team behind Melbourne's Northcote Social Club.

"Frown Hall"

The final stop of this evening's little Balmain pub crawl, The Town Hall Hotel, is a bit of a fizza. The 1879-established pub may have been "favoured by the locals for some 130 years", according to their website, maybe even a happening place 5-10 years ago, but the impression we got was that right now this place is a dried up soul-sucking dead waste land. Too harsh? Read on.

Dick's Hotel, Balmain

"Dark Dicks"

With many pubs to choose from in Balmain, what makes Dick's stand out? The reason we dropped our dicks in was for its proximity to mini pub crawl starter, Exchange, in that it is right across the road. Two pubs on one roundabout. Which one gets the bigger knob? I mean, nod. Sydney Pube List speaks below...

"Exchange bow tie compliments with the staff"

In an effort to drink away the memories of a job he'd quit and finished up that day, Sydney Pub List member, Mr Miller, kicks off a mini Balmain pub crawl at the Exchange Hotel.

Memories and that's about it

Quick stop in from Burger Bot and Joe Blogs got a few of us chatting about previous visits to Jackson's on George. Seems we can all agree on it's reputation... "Seed house of booze".
