Most Frequented Venues

DBoy · Post by **DBoy** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 11:29 am

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.

gnat · Post by **gnat** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 11:44 am

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

Post by **JAMESSSS** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 11:46 am

Black Cat :: used to be there most nights when something else wasn't on

Republika :: Used to go most weekends a year or so ago.

Eveyln :: Red Eyes on Tuesdays -> Tangent on Tuesdays

All times gone by now.

Workshop is the new up and comer

Spose I've spent a bit @ Brown Alley. And Prince too when Prince was in fashion

Post by **Friday** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 11:53 am

locals: windsor castle, vodka borsh & tears and new comer hoo haa.

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.

kronz · Post by **kronz** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 12:08 pm

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.

Love the Termy.... had a mate that used to work bar there - great joint, loads of character and lots of laughs had there. The trivia night there kicks ASS!

Post by **JAMESSSS** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 12:08 pm

Forgot Bimbo.

I still have no idea how I went to bed at 4am on Sunday and got up at 7:30am to go to work for a year.

I went down to Hoo Haa recently - it's a tidy little venue Lucie. Has anyone eaten there yet? I saw they had a kitchen....

and this Vodka Borsh place - someone was telling me about this the other day - I take it it's worth a visit?

dj awesome · Post by **dj awesome** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 12:23 pm

also the racecourse hotel and zagames in caulfield i was at a fair bit ... never saw Direkt there. The pool tables at Zagames are good and the pints went down easy

mrj · Post by **mrj** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 12:26 pm

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.

For real? You frequent these dives too?

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!

i've been to hoo haa 4 times in the last week

food is ace.
we had pizzas there a couple of nights ago and they're some of the best in melbourne i reckon.
went back there on tuesday for a proper dinner. joe had pizza, me an artichoke and lemon risotta and awesome salad and cocktails. highly recommend it!

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

fi just pointed out your work to me the other day - i never realised how close you are to where i live! like 30 seconds away!

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 3:00 pm

Of course, for me it was Lounge and ScuBar back in the day.

But now it's easily Bunker, followed by Bar Open (still my favourite live venue).

For real - nice one, you should pop in one day and check out all the gadgets & gizmo's and toys we have!! lots of ideas for party giveaways.

I'll be sure to pack you a super special show bag....

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.

nhd · Post by **nhd** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 3:33 pm

haha the TPF showroom is crazy

ive always wanted to checkout HooHaa since it opened just around the corner, so close. i think im going to have to make moves on that place.

vodka borsch is a pretty nice place for a beer aswell.

Scripticocus. Used to dine there for breaky after the hard ass nights out. Especially handy if one of those nights out is Revolting.

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 there

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!
