As we circle the tail end of 2016, truly the most garbage year in living memory, you’d be forgiven for at this point simply wanting to escape to a forested glade somewhere, to crawl up against some grass and drink your bodyweight in wine.
Well guess what boozehounds, we’ve found just the place to farewell the shittiest 12 months of all time, and it’s just a gentle stroll from Sydney’s CBD.
Praise be to Stoneleigh Wines, who have taken over a once-abandoned sandstone hotel in inner-city Chippendale and created a dope as all hell pop-up experience, where you can knock back some free vino amidst a “ruined” hotel which is littered with busted type-writers, “draw-me-like-one-of-your-french-girls” couches festied up by nature and 19th century bath robes you can chuck on for some reason.
Look, it’s free delicious wine in a ye-olde house that looks like the end half of ‘Jumanji’. Also it’s ‘grammable as fuck. See Exhibit A:
Wasn’t fucking lying was I? We hit up the VIP opening last night and Snapchatted the highlights, which you can cop a squiz of below. The Stoneleigh Hotel is open to the public for three weeks at 48 Kensington St, Chippendale, Sydney. GET. AMONGST. IT.
If you haven’t added us on Snapchat yet, you look like a real jerk right now. Hit us up via the Snapcode up top or punch in our username: (PEDESTRIAN.TV).
