Where can I get booze on Good Friday in Sydney?

It's Good Friday, the fridge is empty and you could do with a drink. What do you do?

Finding booze on Good Friday can be a little tricky. NSW has strict laws on alcohol sales on Christmas and Good Friday, which boil down to the following: absolutely no takeaway alcohol, and licensed venues can only serve on premises from midday-10pm. So, in other words, bottleshops are closed. And while pubs are open, they can't serve takeaway alcohol.

But – there's one loophole: venues that have a producer's license (ie: that brew/distill/ferment) may be able to sell their wares. So get ready to stock up on fresh growlers of cracking local brews, some craft spirits or even pre-mixed cocktails.
