The Beresford

Yo Yo,

Pubs hold a special place in the heart of most men in Australia.

A place where you can have a few beers, catch up with your mates, maybe try chat up some ladies, its all fun at the pub. However, one's experience at a pub can vary greatly depending on the pub itself. Last night I went to one of my favourite pubs in Sydney, The Beresford on Bourke st.

Upon walking in you will first notice the lack of a pub-smell, that extremely dubious damp, mouldy aroma that plagues a plethora of pubs in Sydney, The Beresford smells just fine. The lighting is also perfect as is the furniture, comfortable but not too relaxing that you don't want to get up to grab another beer. Speaking of beer, the Beresford does that well, serving it in large Half-Steins that were perfect for clanging together the way they would have in the German Beer Barns of old. Service was amazing, at one point one of the barmen came up and asked if I wanted another beer and got up and poured it for me......table service! at a pub!...brilliant. Now unfortunately I didn't get to eat on this night, but keep in mind that their is a restaurant next door so the food would be very good.


Now so far we have seen all the elements of a great pub, good food, nice beers, great service, but I still haven't gotten on to my favourite part of The Beresford....the bathrooms!
Yes, these unisex toilets are amazing, really clean, architectually stunning with huge cubicles and an amazing urinal that just encourages urination. The hand dryers are also amazing, space age contraptions that actually work!

What a fucking stunner of a place.

I give this pub 8/10.

Peace
