Wednesday’s a two-part job.

Part one: any pasta on the menu with a glass of pinot, $30. Part two: the Dart Comp, which is harder after part one.

Nobody said midweek had to be sensible.

Trivia Tuesday, and the curry’s green this week.

Steak night’s the excuse. Mahjong’s the reason you stay.

$20 rump, $25 sirloin, tiles out in the Bora Bar from 6.30pm. Beginners get shown the ropes, regulars get shown no mercy.

Book a seat. Bring your patience.

Happy Father's Day from The Balmain.

The roast beef's carving, the BBQ glazed pork ribs are on - $30 half, $50 full with corn ribs, feta and chips - and Lawson's playing the garden from 1pm. Dad's afternoon sorted: Dragons v Eels at 2, then the Tigers meet Penrith at 4.05.

Bring him in. We'll do the rest.

Pinot & Pasta, midweek’s finest hour.

Any pasta on the menu with a glass of pinot, $30.

The Dart Comp follows, for anyone whose aim survives the w**e.

The grill’s on and the tiles are talking.

Mahjong Monday from 6.30pm, with a $20 rump or $25 sirloin to keep your strength up between hands.

Play nice. Or play well. Either works.

Father's Day, Sunday 6 September (yes, only one week away). Here's the pitch:

A free schooner for dad the moment he walks in. Pork ribs with chips, corn ribs and feta - $30 the half rack, $50 the lot. And Lawson from Big Wheels (.t.doyle) playing the b**r garden live, 1pm to 4pm.

To everyone who ran the marathon today: well done. To everyone who spectated from a comfortable distance: also well done.

Either way, you've earned the Sunday roast pork, crackling and all. $10 in the b**r garden while the sun does its thing.

Recovery starts at the pub.

Saturday at The Balmain has two settings: sun out, b**r garden. Sun gone, fire place in the Bora Bar.

Frozen margs work in both.

Live music at The Balmain.

The Grateful Dads take the stage Friday 18 September, 7.30pm - and the name tells you most of what you need to know.

Dinner first, front-row schooner after. You know where to be.

$1,800. That’s the number on the badge this Thursday.

Curry of the week is butter chicken with rice and pappadums, $24 - it’s the best way to fill the gap between 6.30 and 7.30 while we find out who’s going home richer.

Meat trays raffled along the way.

Not here, not winning. That’s the whole rulebook.

Wednesday, and the kitchen’s keeping it simple.

Any pasta on the menu, glass of pinot, $30. Then the Dart Comp, where nothing stays simple for long.

Nobody’s ever regretted a Wednesday here. Not one we’ve heard about, anyway.
