Cocktails

Try soft drinks. NO confusion there.

I prefer coffee. Soda is horrible for you. Rots your teeth. Rots your organs. Too acidic. Coffee is acidic but less so than soda and can easily be offset with water or milk. A nice espresso is a simple pleasure.

That reminds me of the time that I asked the bar tender in a Copenhagen escort club if he knew how to make a "Bloody Mary". He assured me that he did and even ran off the list of ingredients. So I ordered one. Next thing I know, he is pouring it out of a shaker and into a stemmed glass for me. Since they didn't serve any beer there, I ordered a bottle of wine after that.

I would think in 6 years of experience as a bartender she would know the basic, classics.

Moto, if they can fuck up a blow job, they can fuck up a Jack and Coke.

Slick, I've really cut down on soda. I don't like the taste as much as I've gotten older. My favorite drink now is plain iced tea, but most clubs I've been in don't have it.

+1 slick

Even before I quit drinking alcohol, I really only had beer. Never the same one every time, because variety is the spice of life, or so they say, but I also grew up in a family where beer was the only alcohol around, other than the one wine bottle mom always had around.

I grew up with a dad who grew grapes and made wine so it was pretty much a wrap that I'd end up drinking. But I prefer beer to wine. Interesting.

Virginia clubs don't serve liquor/hard alcohol. All you can get is beer/wine/etc. Yet ANOTHER reason why Virginia clubs suck.

I'm the type of person who usually has a drink while I'm in the club. But to be completely honest, I hate spending $5 on a beer. The way I see it that's money I could be spending on the strippers.

That's why I LOVE BYOB clubs- because I can bring whatever I want (don't have to be limited to what the club serves) AND I don't have to spend 20-30 bucks on drinks

A little off topic but I went to a favorite club Thursday night just to see the dancing girls and really did not plan on drinking much, if any. Sweet thing happened, not a single waitress approached me in the hour and a half I was there. Normally I would have been a little pissed off but was actually happy I didn't have to pay for on over priced drink or put up with the "drink minimum" argument.

Had more money for dances and I met the most beautiful blonde spinner with a perfect ass so I was happy not to drink.

And I never order specialty drinks in a SC.

I usually just get a Corona or a Coors Light. I will sometimes get a cranberry vodka.

I’ve often wondered if those cute looking female bartenders know what the heck they are doing or did they mainly get hired b/c they are cute?

I’m not much of a drinker; usually will nurse a Heineken during my visit.

Sometimes I’ll order a Long Island since it’s pretty strong and will usually give me a good buzz if made correctly – but it seems too many SCs water down their drinks and I hate paying for an already overpriced drink that is watered down on top of that.

gin and tonics are usually a safe bet I have found

I pretty much stick to straight liquor and hope it's not watered down. Sometimes I'll get a rum and coke or jack and coke if I want a little caffeine.

Pretty much the only time I order cocktails anymore is in the casino because they'll make pretty much anything and usually do a decent job.

Carbonated flavored water (soft drinks)kill sperm count, coffee turns your teeth yellow. What the hell is a manhattan. I prefer cocktails with fruit flavor thus I generally get a LI iced tea. Can just taste the alcohol but its there and is magically delicious. Beer taste nasty and just makes me use the bathroom.

Manhattans, martinis, Rob Roys (a Manhattan made with scotch), Gimlets,etc. are the classics and very few bartenders know how to make them. I worked my way through college and grad school behind the strip and have to tell bartenders how to make most of these. They are now all making drinks called "Irish Car bombs" and "Redheaded Sluts".

1). Irish Car Bomb is racist.

2). My teeth are pearly white after years of coffee drinking. Coffee is amazing. Go to bulletproofexecutive.com to learn about bulletproof coffee.

3). Beer is the nectar of the Gods. Guinness Stout or a Stone IPA.

4). Everyone is entitled to their opinion and what tastes good them.

I don't drink water - Fish fuck in it

*there are a million variations of this. Not sure of the real quote.

Most strip clubs have a pretty lousy selection of beer. Sucks when a Yuengling is the best thing on the menu. You can keep the bud, coors, and lousy ass Heinekin and corona. Be nice to find a club where I could get a nice IPA or Belgian beer while enjoying the ladies.

I know I'm in trouble when I ask what kind of beer they have, and the response is "We have every kind of beer. Bud, Bud lite, Coors, Coors lite, Miller, Miller lite..."

By the way, Bud is not a kind of beer. Bud is a brand of beer. The different kinds of beer are things like ale, lager, porter, and stout, with lots of variations like lager and IPA.

Budvar the beer bud stole its name from and sued them so they can't use the name in America (have to use Czechvar) is an amazing pilsner, it actually has flavor. Any beer that uses adjuncts like rice is a no go in my book.

Now we're talking. Oktoberfest is here. Spatten is good German dark brew. Prosit.

Das Boot!!!

I drink water when clubbing

Remember the famous Henry Ford quote "Any customer can have a car painted any color as long as it isblack."

It's kind of the same concept at the Hip Hugger in Kokomo, Ind.

Any customer can have any kind of beer they want as long as it's Bud or Bud Lite.

At least the week's order to the distributor is easy.

SS,

Why would one ruin Jack with coke? :)

Cause they have an immature palette and need to sweeten up an already good thing.

@Clubber: I'm in agreement with your sentiment, even if I think JD is somewhat less than completely pleasing to the discerning palette. I've asked the same question whenever I hear someone asking for Scotch or Bourbon and water. :)

I'm not a big drinker. And I prefer nude juice bars. So I'm pretty naive about bar lingo. But I was at a full liquor service club recently and I overheard the waitress asking the chief bartender about an order.

He told her to make sure she rang it up as "with ice" not "on the rocks". It seemed the price was different. (I assume).

I was confused.

motorhead - It may have been that some drinks are made with ice and then strained into a glass where others are served over a glass full of ice. Shaking a drink requires more work. So therefore a higher price. ???

SS and gmd,

I enjoy a mix of Jack and Tennessee Honey. Even the SO drinks that, but straight Jack, no way.

I am also a Manhattan drinker and a former bartender. I have given up on getting a decent cocktail in a strip club. I would spend a lot more money on liquor if they could make a decent drink. At this point I usually order a shot of top shelf bourbon and a cup of coffee.I would drink wine but the selection sucks and they don't always pour what I ordered. This is a lost oppurtuninty for club owners and a dip on the bartenders tips. Oh well,more money for the girls I guess but I would like a nice drink for my $12.00.

Just had a Sammy Smith Chocolate Stout. Delicious.
