Recommended Posts

Had never been there before until last night but we decided to look in. Walked up to the door they wanted £4 just to get into the bar so we thought we'd go across the round. Door manager comes running out saying we'll let you in for £2. We thought yeh that sounds reasonable. My mate decided to get our drinks in: -

 

1 JD n Coke

4 Orange Reefs

 

.........£15

 

Same round at most decent places would of been under £10.

 

Anyone else go there? I won't be again lol. :loopy:

Under £10? On a Friday night? Let me know and I will drink in there more often too. You may get that kind of round for about £12.50 ish....doubt under £10 on a Friday.

Mate dunno where you usually drink, working mens clubs maybe?

 

But £15 is about right for that round, in my bar it would be £15 also

 

Reefs £3.10, JD £2.20, Coke 40p

:D Plug alert..

 

Smirnoff red vodka

Bulleit bourbon (which is more expensive than jd btw)

Havana blanco rum

Malibu

Archers

Baileys

Tanqueray gin

 

Dbl + Baby mixers (ie tonic, ginger, redbull) = £3.50

 

Members get 50p discount too..

 

DQ has a pretty rubbish reputation from before we took over, but look at some posts on the forum. Don't get chance to go to takapuna much cos I'm generally working but it's definitely one of the better venues in town..

 

Don't get me wrong.. I charge £3 for reefs :D:thumbsup:

ha ha ha.orange reef!didn't know they still sold that!!!

 

 

Yeh lol, I'll generally stick to reef/vk sort of drinks as I'm not really a beer drinker. Or, I'll get plenty of shots to do the job properly lol.

 

Looking at what I put I agree it was probably being a bit on the cheap side estimating a tenner. I'm more used to places like hallam union/flares/Corporation where things like VK are £1.25 or so. lol We were in a group of about 10 and we all agreed it was a rip off so I couldn't of been that far wrong :P.

 

What can I say. I'm a student, we're meant to be cheapo lol. Me and my mates tend to go out when it's hallam specific nights so the rounds of drinks we usually get are really cheap.

 

Reef does tends to cost around £1.80-£2.40 when I normally buy it (which is why I probably said £10 for the round). Think corporation used to sell them for around 2 for £2 on a Friday night ages ago as well.
