Fitzroy history – from Punters Club to Bimbo Deluxe

Posted in Brunswick St, Fitzroy, Rose St on July 31st, 2010

As the SLV notes state, The Punters Club was a hotel that was established 1987 as a live music venue; it closed down in 2002. It’s now the home of cheap good pizza (weeknights) and brawling bogans (Friday and Saturday nights, usually about 2am as they leave the venue).

lunch at Sambal Malaysia, Victoria St Carlton

Posted in Carlton, business, customer service, food on July 30th, 2010

Sambal Malaysia is a new place that opened only a few weeks ago. They do excellent noodles and rice, all freshly made to order. I had the char kuey teow first time I went (unfortunately without my camera) but was back a few days later for the ‘me sing’ noodles with lots of prawns and Chinese sausage. Everything is new and clean and I feel that the quality of the food is better than that from nearby competitors. I’m planning to work my way through the menu.

fabulous breakfast at Atomica

Posted in Brunswick St, Fitzroy, business, coffee, customer service, food on July 30th, 2010

Can it really have been more than a year since I last had breakfast at Atomica? I don’t review every meal I have so I may have had a couple in between, but my last breakfast was special enough to earn another review. My girlfriend moaned her way through the French toast with caramelised banana and I loved my spicy baked eggs.

goodbye Lagom, hello Kodiak

Posted in Brunswick St, Fitzroy, business on July 29th, 2010

I’d forgotten to follow up on confirming whether Bar Lagom had closed, but the recent changing of the sign to ‘The Kodiak Club’ is self evident. There’s a new cocktail list in the window. Will the much missed Ginger bar finally have a suitable successor?
