Steve and I are very tolerant people and we remained calm when our planned Indian meal had to be cancelled because Susanna and Bev found themselves drunk at a cocktail bar. They were so long at this cocktail bar that the Indian restaurant had closed, that’s how bad the situation became.
Steve and I have never heard either of them talk about cocktails, but they were obsessed about it all day and claimed they’ve always liked cocktails. They cited a cocktail bar that they went to six years ago as evidence of this. Steve and I didn’t say anything. Fortunately, we had tripped into a craft beer bar by mistake, so all was well.
Bev acquired me an espresso martini, which was very nice even though I couldn’t put a drink like that on Untappd. Bev and Susanna had already had several drinks by the time Steve and I got there, with Bev’s drink in this photo being the Miss Piggy. They were both very jolly, but that wasn’t a surprise since they’d had about a bottle of vodka each.
She doesn’t get out much…..
There were parts of animals attached to the chairs and patio heaters which combined to make the temperature outside the cocktail bar as positively tropical. I was too hot, but Bev and Susanna were far too gone to worry about the temperature.
In fairness to the venue, the service was friendly, the location was clean and my cocktail did taste of a decent quality. But, all this excitement (especially as Bev had recruited a young English tourist to our group that probably wanted to be freed) meant one thing, I had to replan our evening meal and also get a beer to wash down the cocktail.
