For girls with bleached hair, spray tans and wearing lots of lycra, chasing business men Tongue and Groove is a good bet.

If by “businessman” you mean spiky haired, pointy shoe and pastel coloured shirt with white collar and cuffs wearing, pretentious self declared “up and comers” usually just finished their APS grad program, then yes.

My only visit to T&G as a businessman (read mid thirties private sector suit wearing mid level executive with another couple of chaps similarly attired) had me down one drink, mutter about the yoof of today and wander out to find somewhere more appealing to a boring old fart like me.

gold. absolute gold 🙂

It may be the cheesiest place in Civic but Galaxy is one of the few places that people in their mid 30’s and over can go and not stand out as being a lot older than the general clientele.

is filthy’s still open?

The beer garden our the front of the Durham and Filthy’s in Kingston is a great place to hang out. Transit in the city isn’t bad, as far as Civic goes. Also Suburban in Dickson is a cool place to hang out, and, if you don’t mind waiting ages for a drink, Trinity can be good too. It’s always the company and not the place that make a great night out.

I don’t enjoy the Phoenix at all. It always smells/is damp and there are always drunks sitting at the bar.

Love Tongue and Groove for after work drinks on a Friday and Kennedy Room for the cocktails.

More so Lot33, as they have the sort of music I really enjoy, like trance.

Lot33 is no more! They closed down a few weeks ago, with a big liquidated sign on the front door.
Also, in Kingston, B-Bar has now transformed into Crust Pizza.

Ah no! I loved B-Bar as well. Now my husband and I will have to road trip to Sydney or Melbourne for decent nights out 🙁
