The Balaclava is a lot of things, i probably wouldn't include trendy with those though. They seem to be perfectly happy with that as well! I love the unpretentious vibe, plenty of booze specials to get stuck into ($5 cider pints all day a highlight!), good honest pub food (but in no way a "gastro" pub), sport all over the TV's, jukebox, pool table and open till very very late (6am)
