Last night a good friend and I ventured to House, the new Thai restaurant on Elizabeth Street in Surry Hills.The food was spicy, spicy Northern Thai and absolutely delicious, but one thing that really caught my interest was the BYO situation.
Most Thai restuarants in Sydney including Spice I Am, House's big brother up the road, take BYO, but House has a clever new concept. Rather than bringing a bottle, you are invited to walk into the pub next door through an adjoining corridor to buy your wine where they have a special 'House BYO' wine list. You can purchase wine by the bottle to take back to the restaurant or buy any other drink you like and walk it back through.
I like this idea as its just like eating in a pub restaurant, but with the benefit of sitting in a beautiful outdoor restaurant setting away from the hussle and bustle. The drinks were also incredibly reasonable with a glass of house Sem Sav Blanc costing just $4.50. Bargain!
Bye for now and happy Easter!

the pub next door is very reasonably priced although i found the food at House way to spicy for me and the service less than friendly during the 2 times i've visited.
