Otta Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Baa Bar in Liverpool circa 2000. Used to be the Friday after work place of choice. ?1.50 for a bottle of beer and a shot. ?15 later you'd be very nicely oiled.

Jeremy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Otta, wasn't "baa bar" the sort of trendy (in a scouser/clubby kind of way) place in the slater street area? Never set foot in there personally... although I do remember there being plenty of good places to go out around there.

Otta Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yeah, think it was Wood Street or Hardman Street. Defo that area. I never went there as a student funnily enough, it was only when I was working and we'd go mob handed for the cheap booze, but I ended up loving the place. Not clubby really.It did have weird shared toilets though which felt wrong when you were pissed and confused.

red devil Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 This thread is getting a bit like 'what is your favourite album'. It tends to be one that defines a memorable time in one's life, all very retrospective thru rose tinted glasses, rather than the bar/album actually being any good. I very much doubt I would go into a Baa Bar now (it's since become a small chain of bars), a case of right time, right place...

titch juicy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Dry Bar (now called 'Fizz' I think) on Sairee Beach, Koh Tao, Thailand.Beach bar built into a couple of big trees- cushions and seats on decking on the beach, holes dug into the sand with lanterns in for lighting, facing west for the most amazing sunsets, chilled music for sunset, party bar after dark. Best place i've ever been (2003 for a couple of months). Heard Koh Tao has become a full on party island now, but 10 years ago it was just a few diving schools and small bars, and parties in the hills.https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=dry+bar+sairee+beach&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=6_ANUtLyM8jG7Aaz9YG4Dg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1337&bih=619 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35345-great-bars-of-the-world-cayote-ugly-hogs-and-heifers/page/2/#findComment-670807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pibe Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I would most definitely look a right prat if I got all dressed up in day-glo, slapped Vicks vapo-rub all over me and hugged strangers whilst saying 'what's your name where you from what you on' ad naseum to cheesy rave.Actually we all did back then but noone cared.OK, back to the real world, Pearl on the Peak leaning out atop Victoria peak is hard to beat for jaw dropping views. Pretty good restaurant there too.http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4070/4430205055_cf0dcd105a.jpgPearl on the Peak, a restaurant with a magnificent view.

maxxi Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Talking of West End basement bars - in the worst bars etc. etc. category: the San Moritz Club, nominated for a terrible New Year's Eve in the mid 80s - four of us getting drunk on a pear liquer at the bar (no, I can't remember why) and watching three girls dance around a squat, fat, indoor firework - when it went off 'gifts' of boxer shorts and the like flopped out of it.For a sweaty basement night The (tiny) Toucan used to be a laugh - all guinness-glass stools and the barman telling you how Hendrix once played the place.

AllyCat Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Aah - Hog & Heifers..... MickMac - you've just brought back the memory of a wild night out in New York, many moons ago.... I seem to have recollections of being hauled onto that bar and dancing my ass off to (embarrassingly..) the Sheryl Crow track 'That Don't Impress Me Much' (!!!) - thankfully I wasn't made to pour jugs of water over myself - unlike the girls that worked there!

Alan Medic Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hanley's in Strokestown, Co.Roscommon. One side was the bar where I might have had a club orange and the other side the shop. Only ever went there because they were related but there was something charming about it and places like it.
