SoBar – Cremorne
Welcome back to my cutting pub review section for 2007.
Last Friday night I was privileged enough to attend the event of a lifetime – the grand opening of, as the advertisments call it, a “lower north sure thing”. Having survived two of the worst puns in the history of advertising, I ventured down the airport departure-type entrance to the bar.
Free drinks and canapes were on the cards, but unfortunately the only drinks on offer were some crappy new post-mix vodka crap marketed at the 13-16 year old market, as well as a piss-weak Mexican drink with a piece of fruit crammed in the bottle. Canapes were nowhere to be seen, but the Mosmanites were out in spades. Young lawyers and accountants mingled with 17-year-old private school girls, trying to impress each other under the table despite the noticable absence of any platters of cucumber sandwiches. The only part of the bar with enough room left to swing a cat was the dance floor, but luckily the DJ seemed to be oblivious to the fact that noone liked the music he was playing, and so a constant low throbbing drowned out the endless penis size comparisons emanating from every corner of the bar.
Out the back, we discovered a feature even cooler than the entrance – the exit! Decked out to look like the set of Star Wars, the fire exit was handily cordoned off with police tape, and a young lady was dancing in a hard hat. I am still wondering what this was supposed to signify.
So, in conclusion, if you live in Mosman, went to a private school, and think that BMWs are really cool, click here for my rating. Everyone else, click here.
