And just to wet your appetite (and cos I just love this write up!), here's that Time Out view again:
"This is one of Sydney's great Aussie pubs. You won't see schmiddies here, nor will you see any of the other malarkey that's snuck its way into our town's establishments. No change on those stupid little plates, bottled water instead of tap, dumb cocktails, beers poured in one pour, lines on the wine glasses. This bar is everything those other renta-bars aren't. They serve the best Toohey's Old in Sydney (their taps are surgically clean so you'll never get that bitter taste - it's always crisp, sweet and clean and poured in two pours, no less) and there are little plaques on the bar commemorating all the past drinkers who've gone to that great pub in the sky. The beer garden is a couple of upturned kegs and benches in the adjoining park where ex-coppers, wharfies, nanas and fishermen alike come to sit back with a beer, take in the afternoon delights and shoot the breeze. There's a restaurant on the side (Violante's) but we go for the schooners and a pie from Hannah's (the maker of Harry's pies) down the road. Sitting on the corner of one of the most beautiful streets in town with a little church on one side of the road, and park and pub on the other, is one of life's great joys. Kids skate and cycle up and down the street with ratty old dogs on rope leashes. In an age of paint-by-number pubs (is there a shop that solely sells refurbed pub interiors flat packed complete with dizzy bar wenches and blondes drinking Breezers?) this one stands like a beacon. Good drinking the way it should be - unpretentious and conducted on a park bench" Thanks Matt ________________________________ From: nswolves@googlegroups.com [mailto:nswolves@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Marcus Chantry Sent: Wednesday, 17 July 2013 10:12 AM To: NSWolves Cc: Martin Poole; Les Lloyd Subject: [NSWolves: 8519] The Lord Wolseley Hotel For those that aren't sure where to go on Saturday 3rd August for our pre-season drinks. http://www.lordwolseleyhotel.com.au/ Sent from my iPad -- Is there anybody that doesn't look back and think: "Oh, how I wish we hadn't sacked Mick McCarthy" --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NSWolves" group.
