oh my god yes
i don't have a problem with the price, if you don't want to pay that, don't go to the savoy, easy. we chose it because we fancied being fancy for an evening! besides, any decent cocktail bar in london will be £10 upwards for a cocktail, so considering where we were, i don't think it's too bad.

but i had to disagree with the flatmate, i think my mouth did have several orgasms when drinking those cocktails. esp the ones with whipped eggwhite (cloverclub and new orleans gin fizz, sounds vile, tastes UNBELIEVABLE).

Lies
Oxo Tower is riding high at just about £8 for the best Martini in London.

I think I would like to take all of swipe's friends up the oxo tower for a dry martini.

The oxo tower sounds like a euphamism

We're talking about drinking though!
The brasserie is much better value for money IMO.

agreeing with your flat mate here
it seems the only reason to drink a drink at that price is to brag about it, and really, are you going to feel anything other than regret after 3 of those cocktails?
you could probably buy the ingrediants for the price of three and be able to make twenty of them.

it's not for everyone and it's not for everyday
we went as a group of girls for a treat, and it was lovely.

i wouldn't do it every night though!

That's not the point though, is it K?
It's the place, the music, the atmosphere and everything else that goes with it.

To be fair, I don't think twenty-quid sounds excessive for drinks at the Savoy.

If I had that kind of brass
I'd happily do it. Sounds like fun.

I wouldn't know, would I?
I'm a country girl, the fanciest thing in my town is Houlihans.
Just because a place has fancy music and smug twats floating around, means the girl should be judged because she didn't know the price of a drink?

I don't think anybody's judging anybody else for it, Kristine =/

Well I can easily spent £150 on a night out on the turps.
Granted, that'll include a couple of cab fares, but it'll mostly go on drink, yes, you get a lot more drink for your money elsewhere, but if you're having fantastic drinks made, using the best spirits then the chances are you aren't out to get spannered, instead you'll enjoy the evening and actually remember it.

I could spend a fair bit on a night out as well, I'm just saying that her post reads as "she didn't realise how much it was"
then "you shouldn't go if you don't want to pay the price!"

it seems a bit twattish to me

I don't think anyone would be in any doubt that the Savoy is going to be expensive.
They've recently spent £220-million refurbishing the place, and they won't recoup that out-lay with 'happy hour'.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 14 Mar 2011, 13:13, Reply)

as I said, "I wouldn't know, would I?"
I don't know what the fuck the Savoy is. Pardon me for not coming equipt with that knowledge, perhaps her flatmate is just as stupid as I am, considering we're both American.
( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 14 Mar 2011, 13:20, Reply)

the savoy is a type of cabbage
I don't quite understand how they could have spent millions refurbishing a type of cabbage, but then I'm not an agronomist.

I could say that I'm not and try to explain further, but what's the point

( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 14 Mar 2011, 13:36, Reply)

the sad thing is that I'd be considered as the one with wrong priorities
for thinking that spunking £150 on a night on the sauce is a complete waste. Fine if you are having a particularly great meal as well, but otherwise...
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 14 Mar 2011, 13:12, Reply)

You're right though. It is a complete waste.
£150.00 could be spent on so many other things more worthwhile than a hangover, but occasionally, it happens. A night in the local costs nothing like that.
