Speak-Easy

So last night with my roommates and neighbors we went to a bar called Bourbon and Branch, an old speak-easy bar from the prohibition times. It's a SUPER classy bar that is SUPER expensive. You have to make reservations and have a password to get in.... and when you sit down they give you a menu with only drinks.

There were so many that I had never heard of, that I just picked something that I hadn't tried, and that no one else in my group picked cause we all wanted to try something different....
When we were all ordering, one of the girls ordered a Blood and Sand, which is what I wanted... so I quickly thought of something else to order... the first thing that came to mind was something that I had just read in the menu... Johnny Walker. The waitress asked me if I wanted Black, Gold, or Blue, and how I wanted it... I just said "blue, straight up please."

Once the drinks were brought to us, I was pretty shocked to find out that mine was basically a shot. I had never ordered Johnny Walker before, so I had no idea... I also had no idea that the label I just ordered, blue, was the most expensive at $28.... The single most expensive shot, and drink, I have ever ordered.

My tab was $45 for 3 drinks. It should have been a little more than that, probably around the $55 range, but we all just split the bill evenly.

over and out (of ca$h)
