Poplar St, East Parkside

Okay, so chances are you're not going to be going to Poplar St. unless you have a reason. Maybe this is because, for being so close to so many attractions, it's strangely difficult to turn onto. Maps will try to tell you to turn on Chang Street... which would be great, if that street was around these days. Anyway, most will be coming for the North Star Bar, a mighty local music institution. It's a bit of a blank space inside, but the acts are usually pretty good, and it's certainly laid back enough to discover new music. If you can find it, a great place to spend a weekend night.
