[/Venue Change Notice]

Having found some cheap flights, and taking a cue from the last Melbourne Drinks night, which was moved to the end of the month, I introduce: Melbourne Drinks July.

It has been suggested the venue should be the sports bar at the casino, due to it's ample parking, roominess and the fact it has a band. I tried to work out which bar that was, seeing as the casino has no less than 17 bars, but got lost.

Put me down as interested. I haven't done any planning for July yet, but I'll drop by if I'm in town.

As for venue, do you mean one of the nightclubs upstairs? Club Odeon?
IIRC all the 'bar' bars are on B1, G, or 1

( Crown - Nightclubs )

I'm not sure, there's plenty of time to plan, and/or change venues, I was suggested the top bar at the casino, but am not a regular to Melbourne so don't know where that would be.

No doubt someone will tell me where I've gone wrong.

[QF009]

I should be there.

And post-drinks at 1806 if anyone's still awake and (relatively) sober?

I'll be awake till my flight home, or sleeping on an airport bench till the QP opens, so I'm keen.

No HJ or McD part way through though.

I'll also be trying to convince my dad to join me, as he'll be in AU in July. Whether or not he fancies sleeping on an airport bench is the question though.

[wijomas]

I'll try to make it

[nlagalle]

Am interested myself. will need to confirm though..

If you are wanting a catch up and chat, Level 3 may not be quite as suitable. The sports bar is very good... massive screen etc easy to sit around and chat.

Agreeded, I think the 'nightclub' bars can get a bit noisy sometimes.

There's also a nice bar that's just opened on the ground floor near the Village cinema side of Crown. Has a good selection of beers and wines, and they do reasonable cocktails. I've only been there when it's quiet so not sure what it's like when it's busy.

I agree that somewhere where we don't have to shout to hear each other is good, at least for the earlier part of the evening.

But as Sam is organising I think it's your call mate.

I should be able to make it this time!
