8 Ounce. Newcastle, Australia

When 5 or 6 guys want a casual dinner the options may appear limitless, but its not as easy as you might think. Its not business, so ditch anywhere formal. You dont want romantic or too cool for school, and you actually want to participate in a conversation. Everyone should be able to afford it, obviously. Finally It has to be TASTY !

8 Ounce on Darby St certainly looked the goods, though the staff seemed a bit surprised to be rushing around looking after a reasonably full house on a Wednesday night. First impressions were very good when I got to order a Coopers on tap. The perfect way to wash down a pizza.

Good pizza by the slice and some yummy home made pasta supplemented by the offering of mussels and a jug of beer for $25. Reasonably satisfying, but not quite as fulfilling as the Schnitzel from the specials board. My friend polished that off quickly ( avoiding the good looking but apparently unhealthy baby spinach ) so he could duck out for a cigarette. His body is a temple and he is, after all, a doctor.

Beer and pizza... enough to satisfy pretty well any guy I know.
