The Bearpit bar

Stylish boutique hotel housed in historic building dating from 1811- Located in the Macquarie St. heritage precinct of Sydney, just next door to the Upper House small bar.

Attracts an interesting crowd of real personalities, with a large number of itinerant out of towners. 

Set the scene - its 2.15pm in the Bearpit Bar. The decor is stylish - a dominant green aspect, and roomier than the neighbouring competition for the best Macquarie Street small bar.

it looks like being a better week in the bearpit - business was very slow last week, with only a few regulars in the vicinity, including the Comrade for North Shore ducking past for a consultation with the Rev. Nile in the Jubilee room. Still feeling sad since her drinking buddy Peter Black was banned from the Bearpit Bar earlier in the year (having long ago forgiven him for refering to her comrades  as " cocaine-sniffing North Shore yuppies" in his maiden shout ), she is soon joined by a cheery team of comrades from the south side of the bar who are most keen to get on with ordering a few shouts, as well as join in a few from the north side.

Leaping Richard Torbay has refreshed his responsible service of  parliamentary procedure in preparation for a busy week in the bar, and is in no mood for nonsense -the Serjeant at Arms is feeling nervous about his job, after Deputy Sheriff Watkins effort in Bennelong on the weekend, chaperoning Maxine post-regicide.

NSW Grand Mufti Iemma soon arrives, after possibly losing one of his entourage - Kaiser Trad (also post-regicide on the weekend), and having just had such a great  overseas holiday to China and the sub- continent, assures the northside of the bar that  India certainly doesn't stand for '"I'll-Never-Do-It-Again"

Also northside of the bar the "pug"naceous NSW site manager Frank Sartor comments to NSW OLGR Minister Graham West that the secretary of his fan club, Genia McCaffery, is really really keen to see new liquor laws for NSW so that some very important parts of NSW including her local area that are currently completely barren and horrible after hours can have a chance to be liveable.

It really does look like being a great week in the Bearpit and Upper House Bars. Stay tuned and see who drops in for a shout, shall we?
