You'd never expect to find this kind of a pub in central Sydney - it's truly a curiosity. At a stretch of descriptive imagination it feels something like a roadhouse country pub meets a museum of quirky objects, together with in-house cockatoo and a relaxed inner-suburban Glebe vibe.
Regular activities include crab racing, comedy, poetry reading and life drawing.
If only there were more pubs like this! Recommended.
