Double-blind testing?I dunno, cave in on soda water and before you know it people will be wanting stuff like lager too!
Thought I saw you in there....
Edit: The soda was probably the issue, they have many tonics but not seen soda. Could be wrong.
Or should it be left as a warning to others?
I had rubarb gin and rose lemonade in the star and garter pub w'ton road on thurday night, The gin was a double and the rose lemonade comes in a little bottle with enough for another drink. Cant' be doing with pretentious crap of 'we dont have' or ''we dont do it' surely tonic water and soda water are a mixer for most drinks. The customer is always right. Get some in if someone has asked for it, dont' argue with them at the bar however drunk they are, it's not good customer service and other customers will witness the poor customer service. Never beat your self up about being drunk its part of life.
I thought it was you! But I was already a bottle of wine under so wasn't 100% sure (on anything really)
You should have said hi!
Good. Probably not before a day at work though......No. After all, Christmas Day is where you can have a Baileys for breakfast and no-one bats an eye.
As long as it was a great one and not one of the long-tailed bastards that bang on your windows for weeks on end.Too late now! I already made a tit of myself !
Hope your not implying that we don't collect the empty glasses at The Swan!As long as it was a great one and not one of the long-tailed bastards that bang on your windows for weeks on end.
The fresh air will do you good.
Just admiring your choice in table decorHope your not implying that we don't collect the empty glasses at The Swan!
I had a great evening (perhaps too great...) the atmosphere, setting and everything the the Gin Bar was great - just the bar man was an ass.
To be honest I don't have a clue what the difference is between soda water and tonic water so would have been happy with a dash of that instead but his attitude was 'It's not on the menu - you can't have it - you know nothing about gin cocktails so sit down and shut up'
I ended up in the Swan who made my drink beautifully!

It doesn't seem to be a very common opinion these days but I'm going to say it anyway. If there's only one type of alcohol in your drink, its not an effing cocktail. All the fancy mixers and fruit in the world doesn't make it a cocktail. Its a gin and mixer. And £6 is too expensive for a gin and mixer, no matter how fancy the fruit is.
I asked for a gin, lime and mint with a bit of soda (amazing drink I'd had the week before in Manchester)
