I'm getting old now, so I'm not as much into my bar as I used to be - keen to stay home to drink more. But why was Rising Sun my fave bar? I think it was by default - My friends worked there therefore I drink for free. It's 2 minutes walk from my house and nice decor. It can be quiet - I've been the only customer in there many times - I used to take my books and study or draw with a drink those times Or it can be packed - the bar being 4-5 people deep. It is quite well structured though - female toilets near the entrance and male toilets at the back. Someone was thinking when the realised that females need easier access to the loo...

Oh, and they used to have FREE BEER on Thursdays. That has since stopped though, I think too many people knew about it. It was supposed to be for people in the know only, but how can you not tell your friends about FREE BEER Thursdays?

You can buy food there, but they actually get it from a restaurant a few doors down so it's not bar food it's restaurant food. Pizzas are around $12 which is the same the restaurant so it's not like the make much $ for it.

My only problem with it is that the staff don't have a key to the pool table and on slow nights, the bar makes all their cash off the staff playing pool.
