The Carrington Is Closing For Good This Sunday

No more ten buck burgers, crinkly fries and arepas, Surry Hills' beloved pub The Carrington is closing its doors. The Drink N Dine team — of Norfolk crabtaculars and Forresters multi-leveledl sardinery — are set to clink their last glasses this Sunday, August 31 after three super successful years.

The Drink N Dine team are yet to reveal their reason for closing the Bourke Street pub, a move that seems pretty sudden after their only recent success with new Australo-Americanised Latin American restaurant, Chica Linda. If you're a fan of those tasty, tasty arepas and messy-as-blazes King Crab Diablo out the back, Chica Linda is sadly shipping out too; a sadly short stint, having just opened in May this year.

"So long farewell auf wiedersehen good night. It's with heavy hearts we say goodbye to The INFAMOUS Carrington this Sunday," said the team in their final mailout. "After three good years it's time for us to drink one last beer, so come say goodbye in our final week." Facebook erupted in a collective wave of comment sobs, with still no clues from the Drink N Dine crew.

Home to epic jugs of Sangria, solid Sunday roasts and epic schnitzel-fuelled trivia, the Carrington has been a go-to for Surry Hills low-key hangs since 2011— even kindly cranking one of Sydney's best hair-of-the-dog pub brekkies. It shall be sorely missed and messily farewelled under a gush of local brews and cheap eats. Cheers for the crinkle-cut memories, Carrington.

The Carrington raises its final toast on August 31. Bid the team adieu with crinkle cut fries at 538 Bourke Street, Surry Hills.
