Summer in the City Suburbs

You’ve got to love the effect a sunny day has on people – I’ve seen more smiles on the streets of New­town today than I have done the entire 6 months that I’ve lived here.
And speak­ing of New­town, time to give props to a loc­al icon,The Adelaide…
Once the infam­ous Tram­ways Hotel, and stick­ing res­ol­utely to the “small­town pub” vibe and decor, the Adelaide has quietly rein­ven­ted itself as one of the best places in town to see bands play for around the $5 mark. Cheap beer, great mir­rors in the ladies’, flash­ing lights behind glass bricks at the counter and under the stage, pool tables, pub meals … one day I’ll devote an entire post to how much I love unpre­ten­tious hos­pit­al­ity. But the point of this post is to announce the inaug­ur­al Sat­urday Mat­in­ee at the Adelaide – just in time for the return of the golden weath­er!
