Located in the heart of the 'Combat Zone', Patina Pub is a friendly and welcoming bar with attractive and chatty barstaff. Whether you simply want to sip away on your drinks or indulge in a game of pool or fusball, it's a great place to while away a couple of hours.On Fridays and Saturdays, the bar features live music. And be warned-the barstaff may all look like angels but they're demons on the fusball table!
This month's cocktail was created for me by Joy (why are all the bar maids in this town named Joy?) and is named the Tiger Lily. A blood-red mix of Galliano, Vodka and Tomato Juice topped off with a small sprinkle of salt, this drink had me concerned for a while, I never drink tomato juice. After the first sip, though, my fears were washed away. The taste lies somewhere between cough syrup and Koolaid and, although this may not sound too appealing, it's actually a mighty fine tasting drink. If you want to try this interesting creation, pay Patina Pub a visit. Now, I'd better get out of here before I get hammered on the fusball table.....By Mark Payne Translation by Batty Liu
