The Bourbon - Potts Point

Okay, this is a pub on Kings Cross, so that probably should give you a pretty good idea of what it is like, considering what Kings Cross in Sydney happens to be like. Mind you, this place does bring back some good memories, namely because I ended up spending a whole night here chatting with some new friends that I had made. Like, yeah, this place wasn't bad at all, though it certainly doesn't have the charm that some of the other pubs that I have been to happen to have.

So I came here, waiting to check into my hotel up the street (Australia has some super late check-in super early check-out times, whoa). I 'm enticed by a $15 lunch deal sign, but the sign is only for weekdays. Argh. They got me good... But nonetheless, I check the place out. Mind you, it 's right before noon time too. So, like I always do on vacation, I drink at all hours. Why? Because like I just said, it 's vacation. Ew, no early drinking at home unless it 's brunch. Only brunch vacation does early drinking ensue. I digress...anywho mission was to get grub here a cocktail. The gal at the register says, 'We have a cocktail special upstairs actually. ' Yo. Really though? Really. It 's 11:30am. This doesn 't happen at home. I hopped on that deal like whoa. Go to the bar, get a cocktail a good meal too. Bartender is too cute all smiles (literally, he smiled he entire time I talked to him. It was so nice). The food was really good actually. Drinks were really good as well. So, whilst I wouldn 't of picked this spot out omg general, I 'm glad I passed by it gave it a chance.

It where it's at. Boom!!! Band where awesome and good selection of tap beers nice wine and amazing toilets!!

I had been here for a late night drink and to enjoy the awesome live music- but after having dinner here I think for my next night at the cross I won't be going anywhere else. The place has a good atmosphere- it's open and welcoming and yet classy at the same time. I had the chilli beef burger which was great- (I'm pretty sure the standard was consistent across the board anyway) the beef patty was big and juicy enough to be just right, cheese was tasty, chilli mayo was just spicy enough, the bun was lovely- a 10/10 burger and the best I've had in a hot minute. And this place has free popcorn- beats a kebab or maccas any day of the week.

Hands down the WORST breakfast I've ever eaten. We were the only people and ordered four breakfasts it took ages and they got it wrong THREE times. Overcooked disgusting eggs, soggy toast. My dad got his meal first and had well and truly finished before my boyfriend got his then another 15 minutes the rest of the meals arrived. I seriously can't get over how bad it was. Bad is an understatement will never be eating there again.
