I like to participate in life rather than be a spectator. Music, dancing, theatre, travelling, food, cycling and walking are some of my passions. Writing is an enjoyable pastime that allows me to share my experiences.

A great port in a storm
An interesting new bar/restaurant has opened on Darby Street. Quill & Compass serves Bloody Marys, all day breakfasts and other food and drinks six days a week. The nautical theme is something not seen before on Darby Street and ensures that the menu is not tied to any one cuisine. The owners plan to change the menu regularly and are concentrating on simple food done well. They are also in the process of renovating the upstairs space.
The decor is quirky, relaxing and comfortable and is reminiscent of your grandparents' lounge room including the piano in the corner. There are a variety of seating styles including bar stools, large dining tables and settees. The background music on the night we were there was full of 70's power ballads, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin but was at a volume that made conversation easy.
During the evenings there is a variety of tapas style dishes on offer for $12 each or six for $60. The owners/barmen are very friendly and accommodating and one feels free to relax and take time eating and spending time with friends.
Don't sail by, drop your anchor and moor at Quill & Compass for an interesting evening.
