OMG...at Eastern Promise a few weeks ago. Asked the bartender what scotches they carried. She loked at my confused. Scotch...ummm WHISKY...Ahh, whisky, okay. She pointed out a section the rack and said "all our whiskies are right here"..hmmm..i looked and was disappointed to only see only run-of-the mill blended scotches. I looked around and on the other side of the display shelves was Glenfiddich. "What about that one? What is that?" "Oh thats Glenfiddich." "and thats a whisky, isnt is?" i played with her. "So no other whiskies?" "nope." Then, down off the shelf near the register was a bottle of Jameson (Irish Whiskey). "What about that bottle?" asked again. "You want Jameson?" "Yeah, Jameson IRISH WHISKEY" i said slowly as i pointed at the words in the label. Ok...so i took the Jameson (i was tired of glenfiddich).

But my fun had just begun. I ordered a scotch double on the rocks. Upon taking my glass from the bartender, I had to look closely to see if there was indeed any scotch in glass whatsoever. I handed the glass back to her and said there is no way this is a double. She then pulled out her jigger and explained that the small side was a single and the big side was a double. Hmmmm... I insisted that she was wrong and told her that the small side (the pony shot side) was no more than 1 ounce, while the big side was 1.5 ounces. Actually, I think the pony side of this jigger may actually have been only .75 ounces! One pour of the big side is a SINGLE (1.5oz), two pours is a double (3oz). And this is only if the bar is being strict in its pours. But the bartender insisted on her measurement and said this is how they have always done it. Nice, thats impressive quality control. So I said fuck it, laughed at her, and threw down my cash (120,000, or maybe 160,000?). I took my 1.5oz 'double' to the pool room, for the last time. My girlfriends Midori Sour was really weak too, prob same thing happening there. How the fuck does that happen? Another great example of service staff who never eat, drink, try, or have any clue about the products they are serving (e.g. no product knowledge). EP spends too much time on the weekly newsletter and not enough time training THE BASICS. THE BASICS. If heading to EP, stick to bottled beer, cant mess that up. But I wont be going back.


All criticism, constructive or otherwise, is valid.

No, it wasn't particularly interesting. All it said was:

Right twat features, I couldn't give a fuck about your "bar review" if that is what the tosh was supposed to be, another limpy lionel moaning about the measures, why not picking on something constructive like the state of the front shit house? No, whine about the size of the measures, and you didn't even check to see how big they should be. A sweeping comment that you'll never go back there again, so the guy cannot even put the situation right.

As for pick the gauntlet up, you'll be able to do that when you are laying on the floor next to it.
When the Captain comes around it will be three weeks before you do. You want to make threats, better make sure you don't have your ambitions mixed up with your capabilities like the lanky streek of piss moaning about having to pay a silvery 10,000 to sit down, and then getting slung out of the bog by a dwarf.

Was the bit about you being a galonka munching polak right then?

I wish to heaven you fellows would stop re-posting deleted crap. It is most vulgar and quite unbecoming.

Speaking of EP, whatever happened to Carl the old owner of the EP, is he still around or did he move on to greener pastures?

Carl Gilchrist? Never met him but have won his finely milled tin quiz trophy on a number of occasions with the chaps. One doesn't like to blow one's own trumpet however, if I could do that I wouldn't have time for no quizzes.

I remember back 17, 18 years ago Carl would have some business guys's circle jerk in the EP back garden each Wednesday. They would sell raffle tickets and have 3 drawings for 3 different prizes most of the time a case of beer, bottle of hooch (good hooch, Black or Red Label, something of quality) whatever, I would win at least 1 of the prizes at least twice a month. Jesus they got tired of seeing my ugly mug walking up with the winning ticket..........

If you want to learn how to be the very best bar tender, just come and look at HYPNOTIQUE Club Lounge in Bali. A Creation by Behind Bars Owner and Bar Supremo Yos Malelak and Purple Dot Audio (The Best Club Sound System in Indonesia) Owner Steve Chadwick.

He is the latest review on HYPNOTIQUE:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Well Finally Jakarta Night Life Arrives in Bali!

PROGRESSIVE "NO-RULES" Club Lounge Called - HYPNOTIQUE.
The newest and most hyp addition to Eat Street's burgeoning bussle of bizziness (...and now bars), opens its doors and hearts to a sexy cocktail of style and savvy.
This state-of-the art cocktail bar and lounge caters to Seminyak's swish mix of local and foreign revellers, treating guests to high-end mixology by none other than local master-blaster, Yos Malelak, of BaliMoon, BehindBars and RedSquare Bar (Jakarta) fame.
Sleak lounge-design features include spherical custom-made PurpleDot Audio systems seen as the best audio sound in Indonesia, audio-reactive water-walls, along with the signature eye-shaped screens that swirl you on to next flavor.
Totally up market in comparison to Red Square!
Music will keep a more urban and rare groove vibe through the weekdays and then take things up a notch on weekends.
Service and value will no doubt be two of the best hooks for repeat offenders here, as bar-tenders will soon know you on a first-name basis, how you like your drink, and even which way the taxi needs to go to get you home safe...
