My first bar in Sydney left somewhat of an impression. It’s less than what I’d consider as ideal, but if you’re a sucker for big crowds and you’ve got company, Ryan’s Bar is a good place to go. It was the site of my initiation into the company – first drinks with the co-workers and a full-blown CBD demographic. Unless you go on a Friday, everyone (almost everyone) shows up in a suit. It’s conveniently located just behind Australia Square; a short walk from the major banks, private investment firms, Circular Quay, and the metro. Not surprisingly, we took a new hire there last night. Yup – to an outdoor bar in the middle of  our winter – it was so mild last night! I really thought there would’ve been more people there.

And for once… it was easy to get something at the bar =) We did 4 rounds and I couldn’t believe that it was only about $25 a round for 5 of us. It definitely wasn’t the best beer, though. I really missed the quality over quantity. I seriously need to start brewing my own…
