Instant Bar Review: Pegu Club

Went out for a couple drinks to the Pegu Club last night. It's an homage to the original Pegu Club in Rangoon, which was big in the days of the British Empire, and where various cocktails originated or were popularized; and indeed, the place is all about the cocktail. About the best I have tasted in the city, though the Brandy Library is up there too, and none of this Put Flavored Vodka In A Cocktail Glass With Something Sickly-Sweet And Call It A Stupidtini, and the decor is lovely. But not, not, not cheap.

They have small foods (also delicious, also very not cheap) but no full kitchen. They do have beer and wine but, seriously, that would be like going to Artisanal and getting the fish.

Would definitely go again, particularly if I can flutter my eyelashes and get a boy to do the buying.
