On Saturday afternoon, Miss Contradiction and my family (ie my sister, father and myself) ventured to the Belgian Beer Café ‘Epoque’ in Cammeray for lunch. $170 later (yes Miss C and I ate and drank very well for two people at the end of a pay cycle) we decided to stumble across the road to North Sydney Leagues so we could continue drinking and so my dad could do his arse on the horses (it was a Saturday, after all).WHAT ON EARTH HAS HAPPENED TO THE PLACE?? I haven’t been there for a couple of years and admittedly I was off my face the last time I was there but still…
They say that Panthers ‘World of Entertainment’ in Penrith has 1% of all the pokie machines in the world. If that is true, then… North Sydney Leagues certainly has a lot of pokie machines too. In fact the whole place has become over run with them.
More pokies than you can point an ice pipe at and $45 for a bottle of Oyster Bay? Very disappointed, North Sydney Leagues.
On the way out, we decided to test out the breathalyser machine. Despite the fact that Miss Contradiction and I had EXACTLY the same amount to eat and drink (two 500ml Stellas at Epoque and we shared a bottle of wine at the club) I managed to blow 0.089 while she only blew 0.029. Yes, scarily, legally Miss Contradiction could have driven us home.
What’s up with that??

Yes, considering we are not exactly fussy with where we drink, this place was truly woeful.
I could barely finish my wine, and that is saying something.
The best bit was when Kelvs tried to entice us down into the gambling den by telling us there were some 'young footballers' hanging out down there.
Cut to footage of my eyes lighting up then promptly being disappointed when the young footballers turned out to be middle aged derros.
Well written article.
