Are the beers pricey?
Yes.
Does it get busy?
Sometimes.
But I'll go to this place 100 times before I ever set foot in some of the nearby establishments ever again. They've got a great mix of beers. It's the only place in the city I've found where I can tip back a Toohey's and enjoy a Rugby match or watch the grand final.
There's nothing pretentious about this place. Seats vary from plushy to stool-y. Waitresses vary from ultra-attentive to your average "where is she?!"
But you come here for the beer, and the beer is good.
The chicken fingers might burn your tongue; but you won't even care. You'll douse that sucker in plum sauce, turn your chin up and smile because you're not up the road standing in line like a chump and waiting to get into that new so-called "beer market" (read: meat market).
Yeah, BB's, you get my vote. We'll stay friends.
