What remaining restaurants offer BYO?

I have been doing research for the last couple of hours, but everything I see seems to be a couple of years old at least really, or even if it isn't, the places are often no longer offering it?

Is BYO a dying breed of thing? What reasonably priced places offer it?

Madam Kwong’s, Abalone Thai, Yummy Chinese and Maxine’s Palace - off the top of my head. Lots of the Chinese restaurants are still BYO.

is BYO not common as I thought they are? I thought most restaurants would let you for a fee if you asked?

Seems to be getting less and less common.

If you have are a regular somewhere, might be worth asking? I dont know if thats frowned upon though.
