Swan’s vs. Hawthorn- no one cares…

by pollyparadice

Melbourne has so much pride in sport just like any other city in Aus but in terms of the AFL grand final it is not as important to have watched the game as long as at the end of the day your drunk. Maybe this post was prompted by my resent for working in a footy pub where the people would rather sing their teams anthem and drink 10 thousand million, billion carlton draughts (the worst beer in the world) whilst riding a bar stool. Why not, it’s a free country. But is it? Really? Is Melbourne more a drinking culture than a sporting culture? I know it’s irrelevant when it come to travel but if you wanted to know some drinking spots to immerse yourself greatly here you are: cheap is best!
