Now that I am somewhat recovered from my 2 day hangover and shamed that I participated in such an irritating bar phenomenon I would like to offer you a Christmas carol, it being the week before Christmas and all...

Just one more drink
I'm not driving home

One last gin and tonic with lime!
Thank you to those who sang along! Now, I did not successfully complete my twelve bars, though to be fair there are no longer twelve bars within walking distance in the downtown core.
At my count there are 10: Dominion House, Foster's, Pour House, Parlour, DTS, Bentley's, Boar's Head, Molly Blooms, Backstage and Cadance. And that is the order I attempted to hop in.
I feel that my hangover of monstrous proportions was karma giving me a nudge, reminding me how much we bartenders hate to serve the droves of "12 bars" groups frolicking around the city at this time of year. They flux in, demand quick service all at once for a group of 20 people or so, then flux out, often without much 'giving' that is so popular during this holiday season.
Please, if you participate in these events, try to drink responsibly and be kind to your service staff, patience as they say is a virtue...
Next year I will just stay in and sip Christmas cheer at home!
Hmmm....Pazzo's has a decent bar, although I'm not too sure that they would appreciate accommodating the drunken masses...
ReplyDeleteMaybe next year, Chew should stick to Chocolate Barrs and an icecream bar from the General Store.
Merry Christmas, Chew.
I hope that your head clears by then.
Food for Thought?
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one that finds Pazzo's "Arab Spring" ads leave me with a bad taste in my mouth? (No pun intended).
What does the suffering & struggles of an endless number of human beings have to do with going out for dinner and having a good time?
I just don't get it.
BTW, I'm new to this blog. I think it's great. I also work in the food buiz.
Arab spring dinner reservations!? WTF? Can someone post this ad, it must seen to be believed.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone post a link to one of these 'Arab Spring' ads? Is it in SNAP?
ReplyDeleteThe original ads ran in the Beacon Herald. I haven't been able to find them on-line.
ReplyDeleteLoving the blog Mr.Chew!
