Paddington Pub Fest

Overview

The inaugural Paddington Pub Fest looks set to light up the city with kick-ass events, discounted beer and grub, and a veritable smorgasbord of local sporting legends — all in celebration of the humble Aussie watering hole. Nine Paddington pubs are getting in on the act, hosting an awesome range of events for pub-dwellers of any and all social propensities.

For the rugby-lovers, Phil Waugh and some of his Waratahs teammates will be ditching the usual Valentine's Day schmaltz at a meet and greet at the Imperial Hotel on the 14th. Or if perhaps you prefer your footballers in considerably tighter shorts, then the Light Brigade Hotel will be reliving the Sydney Swans 2012 premiership with Adam Goodes and his teammates on the 15th. Then again, if sport isn't your forte, then maybe check out the Bondi Hipsters at the Fringe or beer and whiskey tastings at the Paddington Arms or Bellevue Hotel, or simply tuck into the all-Sunday-long pub feast cooked by two MasterChef finalists and taking place at each of the participating pubs.

To get your tickets to any of these events and more check out each venue's website or else simply set up camp in the Paddington area from February 14-18 as this year's Pub Fest looks set to showcase all the things we love about pub-crawling in Sydney.
