I'm sure some of you have experience with bars.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 11.13.2008, 11:16 AM

So there's a good chance that I may be going up to Canada with a friend. It is our plans to go to the bars/pubs since we can't do such things in the states yet. I just have no idea how bar prices work. I don't drink beer so I'm expecting the price to be somewhat high. But on average how much does a shot of something like Jager or basic whiskey go for in a bar.

punkaspoo · 11.13.2008, 12:24 PM

don't buy yourself, wait for some chick to buy you drinks. maybe you'll get some sweet loving later on the dancefloor.

flophousefloozie · 11.13.2008, 12:44 PM

Depends where you'll be in Canada! (Toronto?)

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 11.13.2008, 12:45 PM

I don't actually know. I guess it's at the most eastern part.

flophousefloozie · 11.13.2008, 12:49 PM

I haven't been to the east coast in ages, but I would advise you to expect to pay around $4.75-$6.50, depending on where where you go, and what you shoot.

In my opinion, it's much cheaper to purchase a 26 of rye, and have a few highballs. Then, have a beer or two when you go out.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 11.13.2008, 01:00 PM

Cool.
I'm not used to paying so much it may be hard to split ways with my money. I usually pay five bucks towards some cheap shit and end of drunk. Oh well. At least I'll be in Canada.

Inhuman · 11.13.2008, 02:05 PM

yeah, it's about $5.50/drink for some of that good JD

mangajunky · 11.13.2008, 02:12 PM

the main question is dive bar or club?

Drinking and not smoking is no fun.
Is it allowed to smoke in bars in Canada?

Not really. There's outdoor shisha joints/bars, but that's about it.

My pops use to bar-tend so I'll see what crazy good drinks I can dig up.

phoenix · 11.13.2008, 10:30 PM

I find it hilarious how much prices vary for spirit based drinks.

I'm not in canada, but I've paid anywhere between 5.50 and 12 $ for THE SAME DRINK depending on what bar I go to.

so I guess it would be the same anywhere. depends on the house as to what they charge. higher end places usually have higher end spirits and charge accordingly, but lots of lower end places still stock the higher end spirits.. and aren't anywhere near as expensive. hmm.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 11.13.2008, 10:33 PM

A bit curious. How large is a drink?
If I got say a whiskey on the rocks or something. I've heard that that is the same as about two shots.

phoenix · 11.13.2008, 10:35 PM

a standard shot of spirits (in my country... Ive never thought about if its different internationally) is 30mls. and if you have it on ice its usually half the tumbler with ice and the shot over. Its two shots if you ask for a double. If you have your spirits with soda it or juice it will depend on what glass you get it in.. generally short tumbler or high ball. Im not a bar tender but have served drinks casually in my last job.. Im guessing the drink is in the region of 250mls plus ice plus the 30ml shot of spirit.

a night out for me is usually a $50 note.. and Im a pretty cheap drunk.

I think aust dollar is pretty similar to canadian?

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 11.13.2008, 11:04 PM

I have no idea
