The Lord Raglan

  #sydney #lordragon #redfern


The Lord Raglan is a small pub that is part of the gentrification of the south Redfern/Alexandria area. I stumbled across this pub following the taste of The Rocks Brewing co beer - this is all they have on tap. The bar retains it's old style pub look with the renovations limited to funky industrial like lighting. It has become my favourite place for a bite to east and a few beers on a Friday night. I highly recommend the Hangman - my favourite ale, though they add special brews all the time.

Later on on Friday night they have an acoustic band playing old favourties which adds to the relaxed and no stress environment. A rare place in Sydney that does not have Poker machines! There are some pinball machines for those that need to do something other than catch up.

If you are in the area, I recommend popping in. Redfern is changing so rapidly. The hipsters are moving in and cleaning it all up!

The Galleries - Foodcourt

#food #sydney #galleriesvictoria

 Hidden in the basement of the Galleries Centre is a much missed food court. It has recently been renovated and is not quite a little art space. It is dimly lit, organised in different sections that break up the room. Across the back of the furthest wall is the below art piece of an Asian Lady. I love this picture. It really lights up the space taking you right away from the bustle of the city and nearby Town Hall Station. It is probably as Melbourne as you are going to get in central Sydney.

If you are going to grab a quick bite (on your way to JB HI FI) then you cannot go past Mero Mero. They have the most tasty (steak) sandwiches that you are going to find. Beautiful marinades on your freshly cooked meats with fresh salads. I have never been disapointed. You usually have to wait, but it is well worth it.
