I just returned from visiting some of the bars and have to admit I'm a
little bit dissapointed in the night life here. Walking into a bar
that is not smoked up was strange, but even stranger was the fact that
not that many people were in the bar. It kind of looked like the
social room in my grandma's nursing home. This could be explained by
the fact that this is a weekend between xmass and new year and most of
the people have spent most of their money and would rather stay home
than go out. From the four places that we visited, only one place, The
Burgundy, was packed.
One thing that all bars that I went to have in common is the stairs
you have to walk to get to the toilet. Therefore, I can freely say
that most of the bars discriminate against drunk people. Imagine
beeing drunk and having to climb up the stairs at the Burgundy (see
facebook for pics).
After 3 hours out, 16 pounds spent and a bit tipsy I can say that I
like walking into a bar, beeing able to talk because there is no
obnoxious music and having a place to sit down without beeing stepped
on. And the best part, I get to walk out without smelling like smoked
ham afterwards.
The smoking ban is not such a bad thing afterwards.
