Since there aren't any reviews from S.A yet i'll start here.
If what you expect in a bar is a few T.V's, a room with pokies, VB and the T.A.B then you'll be wasting your time going to the wheatsheaf.
If however you want a place with none of those things coupled with a awesome range of beer, large beer garden and fire places and what not then this is the place to be.
During the week you ussaully have to take care not to get hit in the head with a spear(dart) on the way to the dunnies and come weekends the back room is alive with original music...some of it is so original its just down right strange :blink: .
When you go into most places these days they are cluttered to the brim with allsorts of things from useless irish historic pieces or fancy modern ugly looking crap.
The wheay is pretty bare and the only thing they have decorated with is a few paintings of girls cuddling. :huh:
They don't have a kitchen either but you'll see pizza delivery guys rocking up all nite long.
So if your after food you can get anything delivered that you like from where ever you like.
The beer is what its all about for me but they also have a good range of single malts and wine i beleive.
They have a extensive list of the very best bottled beers, none of the lists of euro swills you see at most places that claim to have a good range of beers. At the wheaty its stuff ranging from emersons to samuel smiths and the like.
All the little creatures beers are on tap as are the MSB beers. You won't found a aussie draught of any kind, generally for people who are after such beers they serve the LC pilsner. I pressume they have the coopers full range but who doesn't these days in S.A?
So if your wondering were you should be heading to on your next nite out then wonder no longer.
Check out George st Thebarton and say hi to Jade, emily and liz.
They do have plans which don't seem to much like delusions of granduer to me in that they aim to have a kitchen and even brewery there oneday.

Great bar chick too (can't remember her name) but she has a great passion for beer.
