Okay, on the presumption that people are interested in continuing at a
bar (preferably with pool tables) then either the CBD, the Grace hotel
or even the Forbes may be suitable.

The problem that all three venues have -- is that there is no enclosed,
private area like there is at the WBH. I've had someone mention that the
Edinburgh Castle may be worth a look though.

Despite all the negatives listed above, the best thing about the WBH is
the (two) private areas where you can hold a meeting.

If anyone is interested in doing a (educational) pub crawl around Sydney
to find a suitable location, let me know.

Cheers,
Anand
