Cremorne

[upbeat music] [audience clapping] And we are back, episode 240.

We are live, in person, at The Commons in Cremorne.

Adir, how good is this?

I know.

Because I got the job.

In Cremorne.

Yeah.

With the gravestone.

That's my actual job, I guess.

And so that really helped.

So yeah, the first resume after the 200 ones that didn't work was for this business called Mustard Creative in Cremorne.

And literally, I didn't know a lot about the business.

It is a beauty.

A pub that I told you about last week, the Cherry Tree Hotel in Cremorne, in some infamy 40 years ago, is absolutely low-flying, and I'll remind everyone why.

It's going to be the nomination coming from this set of pubs for the pub of the year...

Which will be

Number two is a farm area.

And I chose a little pocket in Richmond called Cremorne.

Now Cremorne was the poor cousin to Richmond.

It played second fiddle, but it had a really good criminal history and identity.

So I'd go out and let it drop, you know, the entire suburb.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And a couple of different journos would come out.

And they'd talk about the history of Cremorne, Dennis Allen, Dr.

I'm here to tell the good times of a pub that's carried some notoriety over the journey when Scott Palmer was there and Barras was there and Some of Melbourne's underworld was there.

It's the Cherry Tree Hotel in Belmain, or on the corner of Belmain and Stevenson Street, right in that industrial hub of Cremorne, where the Rosella factory is.

And if you go the wrong street, you'll just keep doing lap after lap.

It is the Cherry Tree Hotel, and it is wonderful.

It is everything going for it in the pub.

What stands the cherry, this version of the cherry tree apart, is the service and it is flying.

Corner of Balmain, Stevenson Street, Cremorne, the Cherry Tree Hotel.

Tone sounds delicious and good you got all your teeth back in because you'll need them.

Yep

... and Transport Bar, the Cremorne Hotel-

... and the Como Du Ferrari Hotel.

He's eating a steak.

[laughs]

Down in Cremorne, what are you eating?
