I am so bummed. My
I am so bummed.
My favourite bar in Sydney closed. (OK, it didn't close, it went through a 'management change') In a sea of pretensious watering holes, The Century Tavern was different. It was a seedy dive without being scary. It was like family friend who knows all your secrets and likes you anyway. I loved everything about this place. From the dangerously steep stairs to the smoke stained photos (of old time movie stars none the less!). The Century was wasn't out to impress, just offer a place to have a sit and a beer. It was the only bar in Sydney that I have found that had a working jukebox, pool tables, window seats and a whole floor free from pokies. *Sigh*
But times change, and I guess Sydney needed one more wanky bar that caters to the 'smart casual' types. Oh well. I've heard it said that everyone ends up at The Century at least once. Well I hope you made it there before the 'management change'.
