Липкие ковры, осевший Гиннес: паб-кролл в Сиднее 1991 года — с воспоминаниями, друзьями и минимальными сожалениями

Sydney. Early 1990s. Before the polish… there were pubs. Before small bars, curated menus, and craft beer lists with tasting notes, Sydney’s pubs were something else entirely — louder, rougher, and far more honest. They were working rooms. Meeting places. Music venues. Social battlegrounds. And, if you knew where to look, the heart of the city itself. The 1991 Sydney Pub Crawl takes you back to that moment in time. Across eleven pubs — from the grit of the CBD to the character of The Rocks and the inner west — this book captures a city in transition. Jukeboxes still ruled. Guinness was poured properly (or not at all). Irish bands took over entire rooms. Folk music held its ground. And something new was quietly brewing in places like the Pumphouse. Told through sharp observation, humour, and the kind of detail you only get from being there, this is more than a pub crawl — it’s a snapshot of Sydney just before everything changed. The pubs are real. The music is loud. The characters are unforgettable. And the city? It’s still finding its way… one beer at a time.
