Walking down King Street in Newtown, one of Sydney's oldest suburbs, one's senses can become completely overwhelmed. Despite its colourful boutiques and a seemingly endless array of second-hand book stores, it's the tastebuds that really get the work-out with the strip's vast line of culinary delights. I've walked King Street many times and have counted over 140 pubs, restuarants and cafes along it.

These never stay static either. Constantly changing, upgrading, renaming and expanding one can always expect a new gastronomic adventure to greet them when visiting King Street.

Well, I'm determined to end that and achieve the near impossible: to feast from every restaurant/cafe/bar on King Street and live to tell the tale.

Town Hall Hotel

@ 326 King Street, Newtown

Ahhh, the good ol' Townie. This one's hard to miss, after all, it's right next to the station. I've spent many an evening here, drinking away the hours and listening to the jukebox - more like waiting for it to play our songs. Downstairs you've got your TAB but it's upstairs where you can people watch as the night goes on.

Once again, pub grub is what goes on at this bar. They used to have some super curly fries on the bill but the last I checked that had disappeared. I usually head for the parmie or the steak and they're both your usual good grub for the evening. The drinks are neither here nor there. Sometimes they get the cocktails right, sometimes they get them tragically wrong. The beauty of this place however is the endless jukeboxing, the location and the fact that they close something near 4am so whenever you're looking to close the night off, the Townie will always be there.
