Merivale boss Justin Hemmes, whose Sydney hospitality empire totals about 75 venues, says it will take "years" to restore the city's nightlife to its former glory.
Mr Hemmes says there has been a definite "shift in culture" that prioritises quality food, especially for younger consumers. "They're so into their food," he says. "Apart from porn, I'd say food is probably one of the most posted images [online]."The same sophistication can be seen in how people drink, he says. "It's not just about having a bourbon and coke any more. They care what tequila it is and where it's from.
Mr Hemmes emphatically rejects those critics. "They clearly don't go to our venues because not one of them is the same - every one of them is so different in offering and cuisine and scale and music," he says.

The booze-fuelled violence around his Ivy venue in the city exemplifies why they introduced these laws in the first place...this is all about $$$
Dude thinks vomit, piss, poo in the streets, fights, king hits drunks passed out in doorways is ‘nightlife glory’ 😂
He's thinking up a thousand and one ways to underpay his staff and kill off any competition.

I mean, if we did that, we might have to stop killing them. auspol pmlive outsiders Incredibly triggering to those who have suffered life-threatening and fertility-destroying ectopic pregnancies. How can they legislate for something medically impossible? You can’t “reimplant” an embryo anymore that you’d expect a body to regrow a lost limb.
