Something New: Week 17 – The Argyle and Lowenbrau
by Ranil on Aug.11, 2009
This is long overdue. I should have posted this up weeks ago but I’ve been a bit lazy and tied up with other things. Weeks ago a couple of cousins and I decided to meet up after work for a few drinks. This of course quickly degenerated into a night of almost 4 liters of Franziskaner and a variety of flavors of schnapps. Yes, drinking in Sydney has never tasted so good.
The night started off easy enough – happy hour cocktails at The Argyle. I enjoyed the wood floor and glass interior but I can see how the cobbled stone exterior entrance makes it less appealing to those who wear heels. The cousins’ next stop was the Lowenbrau Keller. This Bavarian restaurant serves one of my favourite beers – Franziskaner. The food was delicious and the beer spectacular but I must recommend you stay away from the honey schnapps. That was a wholly unpleasant experience.
All in all it it was a great night out with my cousins. Yes I had work the next day and yes I do not recommend drinking liters of beers as a way to “bond” with your cousins, but it is fun to get together for a few drinks, good laughs, and great company.
