Industry News: Fancy Free
If you haven’t had the pleasure of being served by any of the four legends who make up Fancy Free, I feel a little sorry for you.
Chris Hysted-Adams (Black Pearl), Rob Libecan (Mr Lyan), Matt Stirling (Black Pearl) & Ryan Noreiks (The Lark) all come from bars that the industry loves and secretly wish they created.
They come together for an all star team that will inevitably create a best in class bar for not only Melbourne, but the world over. Whilst they search for a site, they have a schedule that would rival John Farnham’s ‘Last Time’ tour.
Click here for a list of their tour dates and here to follow them on Instagram.
