Good, Clean, Penny Wise Fun.




How about paying RM14 for a bottle of this compared with for a can of Coke?

Actually, I haven't been an avid clubber for a couple of years after my Zaman Kembali ke Pangkal Jalan 5 years ago. But when Bar Savanh opened, we frequent the place once a month as we found it to be a great place to bump into old friends, listen to nostalgic melodies and there are parts and corners in the club where you can still sit down and enjoy a decent conversation.

But what sucks always is that my conversations is always accompanied with either a flat glass of Coke or a geeky glass of Pussy Foot. So you know, paying RM14 for a Coke and RM17 for a mocktail surely kills half of the fun - one starts to feel like a second class citizen just because one doesn't drink alcohol.

The bar tender will say things like, "The faster you get drunk, the faster you get to the dance floor!". That's bullshit. One doesn't need to hide behind a facade to enjoy oneself???!!!

I am just wondering why club owners can't be more thoughtful. Sure Carlsberg, Tiger and JD sponsors some of their events, but not Coke!

Note the difference:

Beer per mug (happy hour) approx: RM8.00

Beer per mug (other hours) approx: RM16.00

Coke (all soft drinks) at all time: RM11-14


C'mon club owners don't need to be prejudice over non-alcoholic customers eih? It doesn't mean we don't want to spend money for your ambience and entertainment.

Have you guys tried Bundaberg range of soft drinks? Who ain't a sucker for great packaging. But this things tastes as good as it looks.

If you wanna enjoy it at home, you can buy them in Cold Storage, I buy them mostly from the one in Great Eastern Mall and the supermarket in Bangsar Village. It's about RM4.70 per bottle. In the clubs, I don't think anyone would mind being charged RM11-14 per bottle for it as it offers a different flavour, a different attitude.
I remember drinking a non-alcoholic beer in Mofaz go-cart circuit in Sg. Penchala. The taste is exactly just like the real thing.
You'll be surprised how many tudung wearing gals seek good music nowadays. I wonder who'd dare to open up non-alcohol clubs in the near future.


And yeah, if Oxygen Bar in Bangsar works, you think juice bars in the clubs might work too?

Oh! Another gripe, for not having a need to 'open bottle', we can never get to book a decent place to rest our asses. RM280 - RM360 per whisky bottle! Not like it's tasty. Sell la those non-alcoholic wine, at least we have something.
