Plus they're in constant debate about whether or not they will continue the allowing of sales and if it does, in fact, draw tourism like the clubs say. -It sure as hell brings the Saudis over every thursday.<BR/><BR/>Then there's Ramadan... and life stops for a full moon cycle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817002.post-1145486662984727392006-04-19T15:44:00.000-07:002006-04-19T15:44:00.000-07:00I have to go to Bahrain!

I wonder if all Muslim countries are great for cheap alcohol, I've only been to two (Egypt and Indonesia) and they were cheap.<BR/><BR/>The thing about NY/living in NY is that after a while it feels normal to pay $13 for a bottle of Corona; $15 for a vodka+cranberry (for some girl); $100/night; $500/week, all on entertainment. Or, maybe that's just me.bufflohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02298242902029705045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817002.post-1145482785706481812006-04-19T14:39:00.000-07:002006-04-19T14:39:00.000-07:00So, wow...

That's close to 9 dollars, u.s.<BR/><BR/>From what I remember in NY the cheap drinks were 7 to 9, but I only really hit up two bars.

That means not marrying the alcohols!<BR/><BR/>As for their food: mediocre at best. The croutons in the French Onion soup left something to be desired.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114334667928656839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817002.post-1145479738883046122006-04-19T13:48:00.000-07:002006-04-19T13:48:00.000-07:00Don't blast the Doc!

We might be drunk, but we're definitely not stupid. D orders Grey Goose and has the same problem. It's especially obvious when we order shots. BTW, Absolut Mandarin is actually pretty good.<BR/><BR/>In response to #2: My problem is not the 20% IF I choose to give it to them. This bastard put over 20% on the bill, and then I added 20% on top of that amount. That's not cool. I tip 20% on food, but not drinks. When I bartended, I laughed at people who game me over 20% to poor vodka on ice. Trust me, bartenders think we're stupid. Of course, we've probably perpetuated this idea...Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114334667928656839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817002.post-1145471585145841912006-04-19T11:33:00.000-07:002006-04-19T11:33:00.000-07:00#1 You should have switched to Grey Goose+Soda, he...#1 You should have switched to Grey Goose+Soda, he wouldn't be able to "fake" that. Or maybe. But Absolut is pretty generic.<BR/><BR/>#3 That's interesting. And it was all drinks, no food? I guess if you're gonna be drunk, I love being one too, you should always pay upfront for each drink. Or share the tab with someone sober enough to read it by the end of the night. Now, I understand why it's an issue in this case, but as a former bar maid/waitress/whatever, do you really think 20% is a lot for a tip? My friends (the ones who used to work in bars) are always on my ass about "tipping starts at 20%!" I don't really have a problem with that, but then I expect some kind of service too. Just opening a bottle of beer feels more like a tip of $1/drink.bufflohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02298242902029705045noreply@blogger.com
