ANZAC Day is about commemorating our diggers, past and present, but it is also a public holiday—a day off that you don't want to waste lying on the couch. Thankfully, Sydney has a heap of bars, cafes and restaurants open this ANZAC Day public holiday on April 25.
In between paying your respects to the ANZACs, you deserve a tasty meal and a frosty drink—and a cheeky game of Two-Up.
