A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Mentioning this place even though I didn’t take any pictures (photo attached isn’t mine) since apparently it’s a great place for drinking and for Toronto finance bros to make deals. Need to check it out again next time (but maybe right after a work day).
Aside from whisky, also got the nachos here (probably would want to get something else other than the nachos next time).
Tried this place for after work drinks. I like the loungey type vibe, but will say I would try and get another drink than the one I ordered. I ordered an espresso martini without the sweetener (and it was not that good). There were other cocktails that seemed interesting for next time.
This is apparently the oldest cocktail bar in Edinburgh.
Got the Whisky Away drink. It seemed like it would have been an old fashion with a banana twist, but it was not as sweet as expected, which I was kind of disappointed.
My friend got the Ka Pao Tao (or something like that) drink, which I thought was great.
Also tried their cheese plate. The Scottish brie was pretty terrible, but I did like the Scottish Gouda.
We went on a Tuesday night so vibe was pretty dead. So maybe would go back on a Thursday or Friday night.
We went to this sort of speakeasy place (it has an unmarked door). It has a reaction system (fortunately they were able to accommodate us with just a 45 minute wait).
For our waiting the bartender gave us free apple martinis.
For main drinks, got an old fashion with just regular sugar (not simple), and a custom drink that had whisky, chocolate, and cherrry flavors.
Also, you’re supposed to write on anything in the restaurant. Wrote Trancienzo.
We ate here for a dinner at Inverness. Got to say even though we had to wait an hour for our reservation, it was worth it.
First the piano player / singer was amazing. Also the drinks were good (got a raspberry and lemon martini and an Aperol spritz).
For appetizer the pork belly was phenomenal. And for the main, got the cod (it had mussels, but safely ignored that). Would get everything again.
We tried out this rooftop bar while waiting for our reservation at Hell’s Kitchen in DC around the wharf area.
Got a simple drink, glenlevit neat. Will come back for sure (and even try some of their cocktails). We went when it was raining, but the outside looks sick if it were sunny.
Went to this place after a fine dinner for drinks in the Polanco area in Mexico City. Surprisingly the place surpassed expectations.
The music was mainly disco house, so lots of Purple Disco Machine. The waited sometimes strobed his flashlight when we a sick song came on. We also got sparklers from the waiter for free.
For drinks, mainly stuck to what I knew, which is Jameson highballs and Glenlivet on the rocks.
Will say the music sort of went downhill after 12:30am.
We went to this place for drinks for our second night in Mexico City, located in north Roma.
Definitely recommend this place for drinks. Had a coffee type drink (of course with alcohol), and a Jameson highball.
This is a Korean restaurant in Mexico City, but we mainly came here for the drinks while walking in the busy area at Condesa area.
We had Aperol Spritz’s. They were excellent (although didn’t have as much fizz). Would come back here again for the food (they have Korean fried chicken, kimchi noodles, etc).
This was the first place we checked out in Mexico City in the Roma NTE (north) area.
This is the number 3 bar in the world apparently.
The speakeasy was hidden in the Nh hotel, and the entrance looks like the door in the picture below.
Some drinks I had were the Banana Split (it came with a Lego piece that was edible!), and. If in Japan. Both were great. Also got a Toki highball, which was just as expected.
We also got all the food on the menu below (all shareable). I would say the best is the braised beef and mushroom brioche. (I wouldn’t get the other food).
