There's a pub down the road from me (about a minute's walk down Pacific Highway) called The Yardhouse.
It's a lovely little place, separated into three areas, the first with stools and high tables, the second with comfy chairs, and the third set up like a bistro with tables and chairs for dining.
The best parts though, are the specials. Sunday through to Thursday 5pm to 7pm are $6.50 cocktails. Sunday through to Thursday they have $15 special meals. For example, Sunday is a King Island steak and a Hoegaarden beer for $15. That's a damn good bargain!
So last night I went for a drink with a friend, and we had a couple of cocktails for $13 each and then had sausages and sauerkrout and a German beer for $15.
Fantastic value I thought! I'm going to have to check out these places more often.
It doesn't beat the cheapest place I've found so far though. There's this place in Broadway, near the uni, which has a $5 special. You have a choice of scotch fillet steak, chicken parmigiana, nachos, and some other things for $5 each. The only catch is that you have to buy a beer, wine, or soft drink for $3.50 at the same time. Still, that's $8.50 for a beer and steak!
Lots of food, lots of alcohol. How am I ever going to lose weight???
