WHERE & HAPPENINGS ... moving in to introduce the 2 dimensions
So far, I have had 3 posts on the drinks scene topic .... promising a series of it; and in the 2nd post. I gave a framework ...and in the 3rd post I introduced 2 brands of beers (WHAT)
Always with one or more of the 6 parameters - to make things easier; thus each time I have a post, I will try to classify them ...WHAT, WHO, WHERE, OCCASIONS, PECULIARITIES AND BEHAVIOURAL, & HAPPENINGS ... as the drinking scenario is strongly influenced by an interplay of the 6 parameters in multi ways. (Caution: Non-Halal topic - to my Muslim friends ... please take it from an educational perspective).

This post .... Drink Scene 4 will touch on WHERE and also to share some visuals surrounding the parameter - HAPPENINGS.
There are many elements to WHERE .... connoting where do we drink & where do we buy the drinks ... thus, to suggest this is a very wide aspect to write about ..... and share experiences.
At the very basic, when we talk about a drink, and relating it to happy hour, it immediately bring out the word a Pub (or say a bar)
A pub is a place of dubious distinction ..... is just a slanted perspective
However,.........,even till today, amongst the not so open minded people (perhaps, to say those conservative type) will imply that a pub (or bar) is probably a place of dubious distinction ... connoting the incidences of some vice activities and influences along that line ... and nevertheless ... even to say that it is a place filled with sexy flirtatious women ..... and on and on into it.
I am not contesting to deny that we don't have such bars with such characteristics and to offer such services ...... and I do not deny that it is a fact that some customers have such preferences and needs (I will in a later post touch on this kind of bars/pubs)
My focus in this post is on ....
A decent tradition pub .... a social meeting place
Yes, a pub ... with no hanky panky stuff etc etc (not to deny its absolute non-existence, but if any of it happens, it is totally .... BYO (bring your own).
The concepts of such joints, the pubs, are not dependent on such dimensions .... there are the simple straight forward bars ....... a place for social gatherings and interactions, side line business meetings and discussions, even primarily a meeting point amongst friends, even to see families having their meals there (common amongst the tourists) etc ...
It is definitely not the bars where you can expect to pick up some lady or meet some guy.... but in no way am I suggesting that these are boring and conservative places.
This kind of place in Malaysia .... are in line with those found in other countries..... taking UK as an example ....... a typical pub.
I will herein below illustrate what I have written with some photos ...... a place for social gathering and interactions .... citing the Delaney's Irish Pub (DIP) as an example.... a decent place .... where a corporate guy having a drink there will not fear to be seen by others .... or a place where a guy will not lie to his wife or girlfriend about the place he is in.
DIP is located at the back portion of the Federal Hotel in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur ..... also serving an array of Western dishes and a limited selection of local stuff; a simple pub with live music on most nights of the week........ and fairly popular with the tourists.
See the photos below .... it has the ladies (connotations of being decent..... doesn't mean the absence of nice looking ladies .... and the place is not a total bore.....)
Delaney's Irish Pub
Kuala Lumpur ....... a respectable social place ......... serves western cuisine ..... including the Irish Stew. A GAB joint .... main locally brewed brands of beers...... Tiger, Heineken, Guinness Draft, Kilkenny etc
A simple and casual scene ...... tourist relaxing themselves at the bar .........................
At the pub ...... we are no different and we do abide and believe in the Egyptian proverb .......... as in the photo ...................
