sirjonnyp Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Hi all, @kalifire and I are going to go for a drink next weekend as a consolation for not being able to have one on the farm. Anyone is welcome to join (as long as we keep our number below 10), with chat presumably focusing on the glorious times that the festival has given us, how Taylor would have smashed it and just why Australians can't make beer. As of tomorrow we no longer need to order food in order to have a pint in the pub, so that gives us more freedom in terms of where we can go. Despite being here for over half a year, I've barely been in to the CBD to drink (other than the English pub near Parliament station), so very open to suggestions on where to go. What time do we think? Early arvo, early evening? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sedra Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 If it was open I would suggest my friend’s bar Heartbreaker in CBD but unfortunately they are still closed I think. It’s been a bit of a nightmare for them as they have 3 bars / restaurants ( The Everleigh ( just re-opened last week) Heartbreaker bar and Bar Margaux- re-opening from 25th). Hope you have a good meet up wherever you end up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckoner Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Haven’t been to Melbourne in ages, but The Charles Dickens Tavern will provide you with a bunch of English beers on tap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirjonnyp Posted June 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 As a resident of Moreland, would it now be a silly move to go in to town for this? The guidelines I read said to minimise movement, but that we weren't locally locked down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy101 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 I'd recommend Storyville for Park/Hidden trippy fairy tale vibes as a location but just seen it's closed - maybe one for a fallow year meetup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Thatchers cider can be found quite easily in Melbourne, if we want to take it back to Glasto 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read this, great idea SirJonny and Kalfire. Let me know if you're going ahead. As SirJonny says, it might be ambitious at the moment with a second wave mounting. I'm certainly feeling the pain. Our group would be in Bath today, getting ready for the coach to the Festival. It better happen in 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirjonnyp Posted June 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 I'll just give this a bump. Looks like we're still going ahead tomorrow, subject to any restrictions being introduced tomorrow morning. Not sure on time and location yet, waiting for @kalifire to confirm.

kalifire Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 For anyone who can make it - we'll be at the Provincial on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy from 3pm tomorrow. Would be great to see anyone who can get there! PM me for my number if you need to get in touch closer to the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want to drink the shit English beers they export when you have the far superior Aussie stuff? Even shit Aussie beer is better than Carling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirjonnyp Posted June 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 The only picture I got was of a pint of beer to send to my brother, didn't even think to get one of the two of us. But yeah, it was a really nice arvo and once we've ridden out this second wave that's spiking here, we'll be doing it again I'm sure.
