So. What the hell was up with town last night? At 10pm, closed were Concrete*, Dojo** and Beaujolais. A quick glance from the top of Woodward St suggested heading in the direction of Confidential, or even Liquidate, was a waste of time. So, a quick cab to the other end of town and the discovery that the slapper-barns (Maya, Red Square, Establishment, Jet, U-U et al) were virtually deserted. Were the girl-slappers and 'tards (boy-slappers) on strike in support of the junior doctors? Hmmm. Who can say.
On the upside, Ponderosa was nice, apart from being insanely warm (the upstairs area was like a sauna!); Mercury Lounge still show good films, but play bad music and can't make only average drinks (dry martini: 6.5); and Motel is for me streets ahead of the competition on all counts - two FLAWLESS 1951 Martinis.
Highlight of the night - apart from the aforementioned '51s - was the conversation with the barely-dressed 'hostess' outside Mermaids:
Me - "That's not a skirt"
her - "Yes it is"
Me, insistent - "That's so not a skirt"
her - "In there," pointing, "it's a GOWN".
Notes:
* So much for $8 cocktails on a Thursday night.
** So much for "open 11.30am til LATE" on a Thursday night.

Not sure about the Mystery bar: Red Square?
re Concrete's Thursday $8 cocktails: that's only until either 7:30 or 8pm. It says the former on their menus and the latter on their sign outside. Once we were ordering a round at 7:31 and they said "Sorry, too late for $8 cocktails". When we mentioned the sign outside, they looked confused, then angry, then steely. They finally agreed "Ok, just this one round though". Tossers.
