Stitch - Good ol downtown yore!

The Stitch has an olden day flavor of yore associated with it. It seems to be more in the lines of how resto pubs used to be perhaps in the hey days.

There's lots of antique stuff in and around with specific focus on the vintage singer stitching machine. The model has it's presence throughout and no wonder the name also seems to be derived from the same in being called "The Stitch".

The place is all vintage and plays some dashing old school numbers and it has quite a kick ass retro based atmosphere to it. The staircase seems pretty daunting and you get to witness the action as you take your steps downward. It is engulfed with rustic woodwork based interiors and the inherent gloomy dark feel about it gives it quite the shiz.

On our way to the Winyard station, we wanted to finish our day with a final flourish and hence dropped in at 'The Stitch'. Just ordered for a couple of stuff viz:
- Cricketers Arms: This was a larger local Australian beer and turned out to be quite a good drink. It was a little thicker than normal with a tinge of sweetness touched upon.
- Mac n Cheese Balls: This usually comes with a bacon dip but we asked for a veg substitute and they gave us a ravioli dip. The balls as such were big in size, nicely breaded along and stuffed with cheese and you could literally feel the presence of thin macaroni pieces interspersed inside. The whole thing went along pretty well with the dip.

Overall, quite a reasonable fare. The service was well attended and we got the stuff fairly soon. The pricing seemed kinda par at $21 for both the items together.

The Stitch has a lovely buzz going for it and seems a pretty happening spot in this neck of the woods. If you're anywhere nearby, contemplate giving this place a shot.
