Shock ! Horror !
The scene is set .It's the Belgian Beer Cafe in the centre of Brisbane. I'm out with the missus,she requests a Stella (330 mil),i opt for a Hoegaarden(500 mil) and the price comes to a whopping $23 :eek::eek:This equated to $7 for the Stella and $16 f@rkers for the Hoegaarden ...which by the way aint even a pint's worth :ohmy:The frightening thing was though ,punters were queuing up to pay these prices:eek:.Guess i'm in the wrong job then !:(
Guess who won't be paying another visit for a very, very long time :rolleyes: Can anyone out there beat that ........(unfortunately):lol: |

The place is full of pretentious tossers as well. |

The Belgian Beer Cafe in Perth is just as bad.

The place is full of pretentious tossers as well. I don't even join in the social drinks at work when my colleagues go to the Capt. Stirling on a Friday. I just can't afford 8, 9, 10 dollar pints...:ohmy: I guess they don't have kids, maybe that's why or maybe everyone is sky high in debt and don't care. |

Hubby winces when going to the Indi at Mindarie gets mentioned & that's not quite as pricey. Guess that's why we have so many barbies & invite people round to drink at home instead.

Yeah, but someone went to the trouble of dipping that glass of Hoeggarden in a sink of water and cuttting the head off with a butter knife...surely that makes it worth $16! :D
I haven't been in since the infamous telephone temper tantrum a couple of years ago. I seem to recall that G's bar tab in there was circa $300 bucks that day. I stuck to whatever was on tap for most of the day & treated myself to a single Kwak, at $50 bucks just for the deposit on the glass it was difficult to enjoy it without worrying someone was going to knock it over:eek: I still spent over a $200 for the day, F expensive as a watering hole:blink::blink: |
