You did really well, the GW and I went to Madam Fling Flongs on my 18th and Loved it!!!
Kuletos is the place to be from ages…well lets say not 18 (they recently put a door man on because they got fined a fair amount for underagers there, poor guys!)and I had the most amazing strawberry something arother there a while ago
A fair few of my friends used to hang out at the brighton until the cops started cracking down…(can I say this over the internet???)
Pocket bar I have never heard of so Im off to read!
Thanks for the advice!

Hmmmm… if you’re just after cocktails then I’d recommend Madame Fling Flongs (http://barzine.com.au/madame-fling-flong-newtown.html) or for cheap and cheery happy hour drinks maybe Kuletos or even the Different Drummer.

Outside of the inner west, one place I used to go to a lot with your brother that always made us feel ancient because everyone was so young was The Brighton on Oxford Street — but he’d kill me if he knew I was recommending that dive bar to you. But it is close to Pocket Bar, which is good on a wed night (not too crowded and has a good vibe – http://barzine.com.au/pocket-bar-darlinghurst.html )

It’s also a good place to drink if you want to go somewhere like the Oxford Art Factory or Spectrum afterwards.

But I’m so ancient these days that it’s hard for me to channel the mind of an 18-year-old …

Thanks for the tip — I’ll add the new location to the review. Surely a place that sells cheap cocktails to stressed out CBD workers at lunchtime can’t be all bad (if they do sell margaritas in the MLC Centre franchise, that is).

On a completely different note, your name reminds me of a line the GW said to me just earlier today: Is that a gefilte fish in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

I think it’s his new pick-up line.

They’ve opened a Guzman in the food court of the MLC center, However I doubt that its better than the Newtown one.

I’ve had a few people disagree with me about Guzman — one friend actually looked at me in disgust when I told him I liked the burritos and margaritas there (actually, two friends — but one is the GW, who always looks at me in disgust)

yeah they’re good, if you like your burrito cold with the distinct taste of age…
The Flying Fajita Sisters, now that’s good Mexican food!!!
