The Opera Bar

Tuesday night we ventured to the Opera Bar to meet Loren and Latch (Kirsty's sister and her boyfriend), who are in Australia for a couple of weeks on holiday, for a drink. The Opera Bar is located on the lower concourse of the Opera House and has amazing views of it, plus views of the Harbour Bridge and the famous city skyline. Here's a photo I stole from the internet...

Never one to turn down a cocktail list, I sampled two different ones - "Twiglight Tryst" which was tequila with maraschino and raspberry liqueur blended with fresh lime and raspberry; and "Loves Me Not" consisting of vodka, lychee liqueur and campari with blood orange. The former was definitely my favourite of the two, the latter being ruined somewhat by the eyeball-looking lychee sitting on the top of the glass. Sydney has some amazing cocktail bars, my favourite being the Ivy, where the barman mixed me a special cocktail, as the one I'd chosen on the menu was apparently a "real man's drink" and would have me drunk with one sip. I think I must have already been drunk to not have answered back to that sexist comment!
