Z to A bars challenge: complete!
And that was it. another 26 bars, this time in reverse alphabetical order: Z to A. It took 22 weeks to sensibly visit, whenever my schedule and pocket money allowed. After the A to Z list, and considering whether BAR HOPPING was a reasonable hobby for a lady, I decided to forget all that junk…

Alba Bar & Deli
And it was the end of my Z to A bars challenge – 26 bars in reverse alphabetical order. Ending with: Alba Bar & Deli – On Burnett Lane (a lane you would only venture down if you were looking for a bar or being a total creep in the city) BUT – it’s a…

Bollywood Bar
Bar #51, in my alphabetical bar challenge. OH Wow there’s a Bollywood Bar in Carina – It’s an immediate YES. for my B bar. Branching out to the suburbs one Tuesday evening.. Beautiful BOLD Bollywood signage out front: it is Bollywood, it is a bar, it is fully licensed. Most people were grabbing takeaways, but…

Cielo Rooftop Bar
Crackers and breads and dips OH MY. That’s Cielo Rooftop food and drinks. Can you believe – this was the 50th bar in my adventures.

Wrap & Recap! GABS 2023
So it was my first Great Australasian Beer SpecTAPular (GABS) event on the weekend, and for reasons such-and-such we had tickets to the DAY drinking session. I don’t think there’s ever a great time to reveal I’m not a good day drinker, especially not on the morning of a day drinking event, AND attempting beer…

Fitz + Potts
For once – there was two beers. TWO (and i wasn’t double-parked). Up the stairs and into F&P, is like walking into a retro 70’s house. There’s cute rooms with an assortment of furniture: couches, chairs and coffee tables. There’s a disco ball sparkling on the roof and colourful streamer decorations. This bar speaks to…

Gerard’s Bar
Geebus, I am so not cool enough for this bar. Did you see the sign out front? No you didn’t, because Gerard’s is too cool for a sign. It’s an “If you know you know” kinda bar. Y’kno. I’d heard good things, and managed to find it one afternoon, tucked behind James Street in the…
