a friend graduated last month and we went for drinks to celebrate. it was a little speakeasy that, hmm, how do i put this delicately, had more style than substance. i liked the idea of it (detective agency) but the role-playing bit at the beginning where you sort of let yourself get interrogated by the hostess / detective agency boss...? was defo cringey. the mister kept rolling his eyes i had to elbow him firmly to remind him of his manners. the drinks were, if you ask me, trying too hard. their re-conceptualised old fashioned was so far removed from an actual old fashion that it didn't taste like one at all. which's pity because you know what they say about the wheel and not reinventing it. also, if it aint broke, don't fix it. but the company was good and we were happy to see dr. k so very happy.
