Good live music venues that also incorporate well-made drinks are often hard to come by. But in the inner-Sydney suburb of Chippendale that is all about to change.

Former Employees Only bar manager, Chris Garner is opening a new venue which promises long nights and cool drinks, as well as a few dalliances and adventures.

We got a sneak-peek at the bar before its scheduled opening this Friday, talking to Garner about what people can expect from the lively, but never too serious,  venue.
