Maybe you've wanted to believe it. God help you it's been a while since the Union stopped serving $6 mash and vegetables and playing good music. But the rumours are true: Smith Street is getting a new pub, and it will change the face of hanging out in Collingwood forever.
Russell and Mace from Hells have teamed up with Cath Fletcher, Maurice Manno (Concorde Crepes, Superfino), Dan Zeidan (Aix) and former Panama chef Catriona Freeman to re-open the Grace Darling. Holy hell and crapsticks it's gonna be good. We went there yesterday to check out renovations and here's what we found out:
There's a sportsman's paradise games area with snooker and an arcade shooting game called Big Buckmaster II. There are leather psychiatrist couches and open fires. The food will be 'rustic European bistro'. There's a glass-roofed atrium with a BBQ so you'll be able to order platters of food to cook yourself. Catriona will give you a thermometer and instructions if you are a retard. There's an upstairs bandroom and a basement banquet room where you can have forty people for dinner.
Even if this place was called the Clumsy Ex-Wife, you'd be there every night.
