All hail the local neighbourhood boozer. This Paddo gem is loved by locals and doubles as a party ground for sports nuts whenever there's a big game at Aussie Stadium.
It may seem simple, but there's just something extra 'spesh' about hanging out at the hallowed local corner pub. Just ask your flatmate or your next-door neighbour and they'll agree - particularly if they've just come back from sinking a few drinks down the street as well.
Local boozers have plenty of virtues; they're solid, reliable and they don't attract swarms of trend-chasing poseurs. Plus you can always nip down (even if you're wearing your round-the-house trackies) and it's never going to be a long stagger home at closing time.
The Olympic keeps its regulars both watered and entertained. Come on Mondays for poker, Wednesdays for trivia, Thursdays for the usual seafood tray raffle and Fridays for footy coverage, cash jackpot giveaways and drink specials.
Located opposite Aussie Stadium on Moore Park Road, this boozer really packs out when there's a big game on. Sports fans come here to warm up, buy celebratory drinks, dissect the umpire's decisions or sink their sporting sorrows. Simple pub grub is available from the bar, while fancier (and pricier) meals are also served at the attached Bistro Moore.
