old haunts


Revisiting some old stomping grounds in Sydney's Paddington, it was astonishing to see how the pubs along Oxford St. are being transformed into more stylish lounges, employing bistro-like kitchens to update the standard pub fare and placing greater emphasis on individual decor to distinguish themselves. I was most surprised to see how one of my old favorites, The Light Brigade Hotel, has shed its traditional origins and embraced the modern. The rows of polished bar stools arranged neatly around the lounge were wonderfully eye-catching and again I bled the colors to lend a little more atmosphere and highlight the gleaming steel.
