Every pub in Germany has some locally produced jager-alike that they'll break out if you ask them for some decent shots, ice cold, no loving red bull, way nicer than the real thing But I've said it before, there is no bad alcohol, only less good. I miss tesco value "scottish style" bag whisky e: 27 is significantly less than the number of drinks I've had this weekend, you guys need to stop enabling me

Pound_Coin posted:I also miss the fright night goth/student bars like the Ben crouch because they had a list of signature cocktails called the seven deadly sins that were supposed to be served in highball glasses but they did by the pint, sloth was just a pint of Baileys, cream, kaluha and chocolate sauce, you could drink like 2 before puking a white puddle Come to Aberdeen when the COVID poo poo is over, Slains Castle will probably still be there.

Back in my local in rural Wales, we had an old lad who used to drink the drip trays at the end of the night. It was also the kind of pub that would have a lock-in on most days, because the landlord didn't want to drink alone. It was a fun place though. Any time a drag queen would be passing through the landlord would always ask them to perform, which was a hell of an experience in a pub with a max occupancy of 20, and was full of flat caps clapping and cheering along to "I am what I am". I think it's a Marstons gastropub now

Interesting. not in a pub/bar which is open to the public but I wouldn't be surprised to see poo poo like this happening in uni/halls bars IME universities are more than happy to pay lip service towards responsible drinking and then look the other way when it comes to drinking a dirty pint out of an old wellington boot on your birthday

Camrath posted:Slains is one of the few things I miss about Aberdeen. Yeah, the Still is still there. The Tilted Wig renamed itself the Wig a few years ago, though, showing an utter disregard for both history and humour. And the Grill has been making me laugh out loud with the outdoor beer tent they've put up during COVID.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Oh Jesus. Reminds me of my brother telling me about working as a glass collector in our local lovely nightclub. Someone thought they were clever by leaning over the bar and scooping a glass into the slops sink and running off, the slops sink which was currently blocked because of a poo poo someone did into a pint glass.  Weirdest pub story along those lines was a mate who was cleaning the toilets at the end of the night and found a beer bottle in the toilet with a perfect poo poo in it. No idea how that happened.

Student pub near me had (maybe still has?) a £1 cocktail shot menu. It's arranged alphabetically and helpfully comes with illustrations for people who foolishly accept the challenge to drink the alphabet, lose the power of speech at around H, and have no recollection of anything past S. As I get older I've also noticed a weird shoulder ache from drinking alcohol, especially on an empty stomach. Dr Google tells me it's either cancer or not.

You can absolutely get Coke on the soda gun but the syrup is so absurdly more expensive than Pepsi that the only places who tend to do it are ones who are bound to specific brewery/distribution agreements.

Gyro Zeppeli posted:Snakebite & Black belongs exclusively to the goths, and I will not see it reclaimed like this. I used to drink snakebite (no black) when I was underage in a goth pub on the basis that nobody would suspect me of being underage for ordering something that rank as it was 50/50 carling and strongbow and tasted like piss. I don't think they cared to be honest and assumed I was just a very nerdy looking university student. Plus back then there was none of this challenge 21 stuff so if you could hold the bouncers eye and straight face your dodgy fake ID you were fine. Good times I tell you.

A bloke I knew years ago worked in a Thai restaurant in Edinburgh and he once mentioned a man and woman who paid corkage for two big bottles of WKD with their dinner I didn't ask if they had the same or different colours and the question haunts me to this day

There was a Yates's in Bristol that sold "WKD40" which is a) a brilliant name and b) 40% irn bru. The place was a poo poo hole (the pub, not Bristol) but that nearly redeemed it. I never saw it anywhere else.

Goldskull posted:How did that work out for them? It'd just turn into riot foam, especially if the lemonades from a mixers gun. One of my mates invented a "cocktail" of Port and Red Bull. Actually surprisingly nice but you don't want more than one. Also here in Canada I asked for a shandy, had to explain that it was lager and lemonade half and half... only apparently "lemonade" in a bar context here means like, lemon bitters. It was not good. Not like, undrinkably bad though so we did drink it.

My favorite cocktail when I was young and stupid was a mix of Blue WKD and Port that was referred to as a 'Special Vimpto'.

Hooch and double vodka was my usual back when lemon hooch was bitter as gently caress, before they changed the recipe and made it really sweet.

forkboy84 posted:An alcopop. Like Smirnoff Ice. Sort of thing that seems to have gone out of fashion these days Alcopops have gone out of fashion because everyone who drank them as a teen is now comfortably into their 30s and 40s, and have either opened up a cocktail bar or are regular customers at one. It's not a coincidence that sweet, brightly-coloured alcoholic drinks that don't really taste of alcohol are popular now. Kids these days don't really drink so I'm not sure what the trend will be in 2040. Different tap waters from around the country?

Our group’s DIY cocktail was a Purple Nightmare – a shot each of green, red, and blue Aftershock, topped up with a double vodka. That was always a definitive end to the happy hour at the Southampton club we’d go to where a shot and mixer was 50p and you’d come back with change from a tenner
