Ok, so now there is another player on the block. Stereolab at Pan Pacific Hotel has started its Sunday nights. Attendance so far is not bad cos there is free flow of champagne and mini-burgers till 12 and free flow of vodka from 12 - 3.
Yup, you heard that right … Free Flow!
I dunno how they cover costs, cos, no one actually needs to buy a drink. And it is champagne!
Nevertheless, not sure if the crowd will keep coming once they end the free flow and start charging cover (i dun think anyone paid cover last night!)
Seriously, how on earth do they cover costs? In theory, they are making losses every one of these nights right?
Anyway, why look a gift horse in the mouth? Just enjoy while it lasts, i guess.
ps. unlike other places where free flow is ‘controlled’, here it really is free FLOW. Once the waitstaff see an empty glass (or flute for that matter) in your hand, they immediately whisk it away and hand over another filled to the brim glass.
Rumour has it that a certain organisation is sponsoring this giveaway but i have no idea why that company would do it.
Anyway, till it ends (which i heard is soon), let’s eat, drink and be merry!
