The Boomerang Bar also had the advantage you weren't visible to passing traffic. Hoping that maybe someone sees that location as a good one to reopen as a GC. There were both great places, i've had many a day / evening in them both. One of the managers Darcy ( RIP ) was a right character plus the Wombat used to serve up some bloody good food too. As you say, the Boomerang / Outback bar was also good and tucked away at the back, often had a great Filipino band playing. It begs for somebody to come along and take advantage of the good set-up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor had it they had to change the name due to copyright issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pipe scarred the newly laid concrete and, I would guess, weakened the pipe. Wonder if this is the one you saw dragged, or another one that they compromised the integrity of by dragging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bar opposite, who's name I forgot but you captured in your pic is Luck 7 Bar. They also have a band, but when they both are playing they drown each other out to the point where I can't understand how either of them have any customers. I now give Tree Town a wide berth due to the cacophony of noise in the area. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I'm busting my brain trying to work out where this place is. Is it behind the "Beer Hub"? - Was it stood looking half finished for the last 3 years?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thanks @john luke - it was the one I had been thinking of. Simple construction but a bit of overkill for a run of the mill Beer bar. Reminds me of the Bandstand you'd see in a park in the old days. Not to mention that massive fire hazard of a roof (unless it's fire retardant plastic - doubtful). That's one on my "to do" list then!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
