Harlequin Inn - Pyrmont

"Do you have a pool table?" "Yes it is upstairs." "Great!! 2 ciders please" *pays for and receives 2 ciders* "oh but they may have moved the table due to some all blacks event" FFS!! Now enduring 2 flat ciders that are so sweet that I may need an insulin shot to deal with it!! Lucky it is a nice day with some alfresconess.

Very ordinary. It's fine as an Asian eatery if you've lived in Goulburn eating country Chinese all your life no offence. But it's ok. Didn't poison us / but won't set your life on fire. The beer was off on the night we went. Several taps tasted wierd.

On our way back from Jones Bay wharf, we stopped here for a lazy Sunday afternoon drinks. What attracted me at first was the large outward facing windows overlooking a floral square. The entire pub is divided into 3 areas - the sun lounge (where the large windows are), the main dining/bar and the beer garden. There is also a Thai restaurant inside. Drinks are cheap, $5.5 for a schooner of pure blonde. It appeared that an open mic event was on for wanna-be singers, each of them can perform four songs. Unfortunately I wish I had my earplugs on when certain people performed. The beer garden looked inviting with vertical garden and bamboo screen. A closer look uncovered there were actually pocky machines behind the enclosed bamboo screen. Sports channels were scattered at various parts of the pub, it must get quite busy when AFL is on judging by the framed jerseys on the wall and a massive footy perching on top of the front door. thernbdiary.com

This place draws in a decent crowd especially after work and during lunch times. It has some nice big open window areas offering the view of looking back onto the streets of Pyrmont which are great for people watching as you dine or smash back some cold ones. I’ve been here a few times for after work drinks and samples some nibbles like chips etc… which was all quite decent. They also have small Thai menu as well which offers so-so quality Thai but at a decent price at least… though in saying that there’s plenty of half decent Thai places around it. There’s a small seating area out back but usually filled with smokers… and even a function room upstairs. Within 200 meters of the pub there’s also at least another 3 pubs that offer a similar service but provide a slightly better atmosphere.

"Hai un tavolo da biliardo?" "Sì, è sveglio." "Toll !! 2 sider per favore" * paga e ottiene 2 sider * "Oh, ma hai il tavolo a causa di tutti i Blacks Event" FFS !! Ora permanentemente 2 flat cidner, che sono così carini che potrei aver bisogno di un colpo di insulina per gestirlo !! Felicità, è una bella giornata con qualcosa di alprespessi.
