How it Started…
The Challenge was to visit 26 bars in Brisbane alphabetically. Just for funsies.
I dubbed it my A to Z of Brisbane Bars.
Beginning in July 2021, another Brisbane lockdown was about to lift and I had places to see, bars to visit.. I gave myself ‘Until the end of the year’ to complete the challenge.
I made a notebook and a calendar, and told absolutely no-one what I was doing, until about the fifth bar..
It gave me a good excuse to get out of the house, make some Facebook posts and see what this journey of bar-hopping would bring..
Every week until the end of 2021 I tried a new bar, mostly in alphabetical order. Writing notes and taking photos. When it finished, I wrote this 2021 recap/rant.
Then when 2022 rolled around, I had found so many bars and yet only visited a handful, so, I decided to just keep going. I made another list of all new bars to see, this time in reverse order, from Z to A.
Only then did I start writing about my adventures, on Chick Walks Into a Bar and this blog.
