StringerBellend Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I'll make an effort Also we should organise a inner west pub for away games. Any ideas where they will but the a league on and not the AFL which seems to be fashionable amongst the newer inner west types Link to comment
luisenrique Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 I think the Royal Exchange in Marrickville might work. They have tons of screens around the joint. Excellent cheap food menu too. Link to comment

StringerBellend Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 In good news The Lansdowne seems to be opening up again, that's one from the past http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/live-music-returns-to-the-iconic-lansdowne-hotel-defying-sydney-lockouts-20170411-gvj62q.html Bad news newtown social is being turned into a mini golf bar Carns 1 Link to comment
Carns Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Came in here to post that. Band room will be upstairs and hold 250. Bookings by the Rule brothers from The Annandale. Disappointing to see NSC go, but this may be a suitable replacement. It'll be hipsterfied, but at least it's a live music venue. StringerBellend 1 Link to comment

I can't think of a better gig than You Am I tearing up the Annandale Good to see Rule brothers involved, I think they book Vic on the Park too. Shame about NSC, was a good room seen some great shows there Carns and btron3000 2 Link to comment
btron3000 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Good to see the Lansdowne back, the kids need a proper ******* band pub to hang out at. Seeing local bands at uni bars themselves would be best, but this is the next best option. Not sure if this has been posted, but it does a great job of evoking the feelings of the time pre-NSC. Loved a good Front End Loader gig. https://www.redbull.com/au-en/the-wonder-years-of-the-sandringham-hotel I can't think of a better gig than You Am I tearing up the Annandale You weren't at uni in the 90s if you didn't see Rogers windmilling it at a small gig. I remember one epic one at Macquarie Uni, **** they tore it up. Sound As Ever - what a riff. StringerBellend 1 Link to comment
StringerBellend Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 That sando article takes me back. Lived just off king st for a bit of that period. I feel sorry for kids today not to have that era. Link to comment
marron Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Long necks on king street was how I spent many a Friday or Saturday night. The thing that ALWAYS pissedme off about the whole late 90s pokies witch-hunt was why none of the dickheads in a whitlams shirt had ever set foot in a dive to see any real local bands (i generalise of course). If they weren't too busy listening to triple j they might have helped things a bit. But even then - some of the best live shows i ever saw were in warehouses or living rooms or outside or in a pub with (shock horror) a pokies room AND a stage. Or a corner. Pokies never killed live music here. Triple j just killed a truly local culture - and then all talk pre-hipsters did **** all to rescue it. Link to comment

The second death of the annandale came from lack of a late license and having to spend a truckload fighting off the council due to nosie complaints from people who had just bought new apartments next to a pub or lived so far away they couldn't hear it but complained anyway.

marron Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Yeah, I remember. I was loading a van once and got yelled at by one of them. Thing is, it needn't be a big deal. If there was a market a new place would open to serve the need. The reason these places shut down was never pokies. It was nobody going, and not one ****er in a whitlams t-shirt attempting to find another solution or support any kind of scene. (Just enjoying getting my rant on apologies to any passers by).

btron3000 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Oh man. It's one of the last pubs you can still watch league instead of the bloody viki kicki with the hipster crowd. And then a great/dodgy/indifferent local band after. Well there's always the Golden Barley for the NRL. StringerBellend 1 Link to comment
dochers Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 hey fella's, any good pubs Ashfield way on Saturday afternoon to watch WSW away? My friend has his engagement that afternoon (such poor form but what can you do??). Link to comment
marron Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The Ashfield will have it on, the farm is a lottery Link to comment
StringerBellend Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 No help for Ashfield. Isnt the Ashfield basically a Tab with beer, so has enough screens to put the game on. Like matron says you should be safe to get the game on. Link to comment
marron Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Yep, pretty much. The Crocodile Farm they did up but I don't remember what screens they had (not many though). You could go to Wests of course. Or hop down to the Summer Hill, they will have it on. Kitchen's alright there if you are after a feed. information may be a few years out of date Link to comment
