Most Frequented Venues
Most Frequented Venues
Not at the present but over the span of the last 5 years or longer...
For example.
Max: my pub. I go, it is there and will always be as shit as the first time.
E55: Over 5 or more years I have been a lot, more I presume than any other city drinking hole.
Blue Bar: Spent some time there.
Revolver: Over the years has been consistent with having gigs, so I think it hits the top 5 places I have been over the past 5 years, in terms of number of times I have been.
6 Links: Free pool, what else can I say.
Brown Alley: Well over the past 12 months anyway has been frequented a lot.

Over the past 5 years:
INTERNATIONAL / LAUNDRY / BROWN ALLEY:
Mainly due to Beats Working and Prime Mover.... o' the old days, where for art thou now! The 'Nash' was the bomb beat from Bombay! ooowwwwww!!!!
SEVEN NIGHTCLUB:
Fractured days of old
PRINCE OF WALES / Hi-Fi:
For gigs. Love the POW especially.
RACECOURSE HOTEL / ZAGAMIES:
My locals. Beers, pool - that's about it.... shithouse pubs, but I don't drink and drive - so my choice is rather limited for a good draught beer.

Locals: The Retreat, Brunny Green, Black Cat. Used to hit the Comfy Chair and Black Pearl heaps too.
Bars: Troika pre a night out was a fave. Also The 9th Ward (I think that's what it was called)
Pubs: Many a gig seen at the Corner Hotel. More recently been to the Prince more becoz now go to more electronic gigs than rock.
Spent soooo much time at Brown Alley in the past two years. Before that, it was the Laundry I went to the most, regularly. And Lounge- lotta time spent at Lounge

Used to be Lounge, Laundry (when Flago, Brand, BW, Thayer, Hound and me used to play there), Bimbo Deluxe (when it was Cut Copy, 86, me, Boogs etc), Terminus (when I lived in Richmond). These were places I practically lived at EVERY week.
Now I really don't know ... GB in Richmond but not anymore ... Honkytonks but on a weeknight usually ... Lounge a bit. My couch.

- Location: so a family walks into a talent agent and the talent agent says "what's your act"?
local: The Harp (thats so fucking sad but its just up the road and good for beer and pool in the middle of the day or a 1am.
others: Lounge, POW, hi-fi
I'm not too much of a fan of bars etc. I find it to loud and crowded to socialise. I prefer good food, wine, beer and mates at someone place.

Seven = also fractured days of old. happy, happy days.
Brown Alley = Past 1.5 years for Sunny, Frac, Gimme etc
Spreadeagle = Richmond pub where I am most at home. Many winter meals had, many pots drunk, many laughs laughed.
Black Cat = Much more recent, but right around cnr from me now, Thurs night is always good to hang with the kids, but also good other times
the London (Richmond) = lost its soul on weekends after the renovations, but during week still is roughly what it used to be. plus its a place where everyone knows my name, and me theirs. Nice
Revolver = Revolver. Revolver. Revolver. What to say. Many memories. Many times not remembered. Many random chats had. Many freaky occurences witnessed. Clothing lost, other items found ( ) then lost again. Not always good times, but always very unique and very melbourne times.
Two Floors Up = Old Private Function days. Was one of the best most intimate partys I have ever gone to frequently. Much fun. Small venue full of friends where you could get your prog on.

Well Zagamies is alright - nice joint really. But the Racie has gone to shit now that they've installed pokies in the restaurant and a friggin' TAB in the public bar.
I hate what pokies have done to pub's - I really do!
No more live music, just money-sucking, light-flashing shit boxes!

My past in in Perth and Bris
Bris Styles would have to one up The Zoo, Arena (formerly Roxy), the D Bar, Moon Bar at the Empire, Ric's for Thurs night Soma Rasa and Resin Dogs and the Press Bar- strangely enough all in Fortitude Valley. Everywhere else is lame lame lame

vodka bar rocks! many a messy night shut in there after close drinking absinthe

Scripticocus. Used to dine there for breaky after the hard ass nights out. Especially handy if one of those nights out is Revolting.strategem wrote:Vodka Borsch and Tears! get the bacon and egg roll thingy with the chutney. Best breakfast ever, just not quite enough of it. Plus the most awesome vodka list ever. MMMMM Vodka.

Yeps- Amplifier, The Church in Northbridge and the Leederville on Wed nights- totally off tap rave parties which would inevitably lead me to have Thursdays off the entire time I was living thereTerry Tate wrote:wherebouts in perth would you hang?gnat wrote:My past in in Perth and Bris

Laundry ruled my life for 2 years (monthlies, weeklies, graphic design). Loved that place like no other. Sucks it went to shit!
First Floor was happening for a while, but I haven't been there in almost a year now.
I still love the Corner Hotel as a live venue; the Evelyn's cool, too.
Always have fun at Revolver, but haven't really been there for the awesome Thai food in too long.
The Terminus when Adam was bartending was definitely a great place to hang...but that's probably the free alcohol talking.
This city has so many kick-butt venues!

A few years back, yeah??? Me and Paranoid Edge used to live on Spring St, right opp the Laundry and almost next door to the Spanish place. We were about half a stones throw from Lizkins too...she was on Johnston.mrj wrote:Ooooooh yes, forgot Laundry.
Used to go there every Sat night cos my girlfriend at the time lived on Victoria st.
Used to rock up at about 11.00 and then just sit and watch J-red do his thing. learnt a lot from watching that man
