It’s been no frills, all thrills since day dot at this fairy-lit Redfern fixture, which remains resolutely unpretentious and as reliable as ever 12 years on. Cliched as it may sound, it really is the local every suburb yearns for, replete with all the comforts of a pub, the smarts of a lo-fi cocktail bar and toasties that never fail to hit the spot.
