Used to be the best tap beer in Ashfield, now it tastes like they have forgotten how to clean their beer lines. I am talking seriously yeasty, rotten type flavours in the lager that I used to come here to avoid. I used to come here because on this side of the railway, Croc Farm used to always be perfect in comparison to RSL and Ashfield Hotel. Today, I honestly hate to admit it but it's bloody disgusting.

The guard went above and beyond to give us his time and help us find a new venue to kick on after and threw out recommendations.
It's rare to find such good customer service from a bouncer.
The guy was a legend, if only we could get him to teach the bouncers at our local how to act towards patrons, it would change the image/stigma that "bouncers" have.
Whenever we come down again we are making...
