Employee of the year 2009! – ‘Craig’ - craig started with us this year – and we’ve soon realized that without him, we just couldn’t function as a business! He has become the heart and soul of the bar. He practically runs the place now. Thank you craig. You may not see him often, or ever, but when he does turn up….

Naked Chase – English apple vodka 42% abv
Naked chase is pure English apple vodka, grown, distilled and bottled in Herefordshire, which was the first in the world to be made from organic cider apples. The reason it’s called naked chase is because there’s nothing added to it at all. The apple flavour comes from (you guessed it) the apples used in the distilling process.
Coming soon- the ‘Naked martini’*
*Please note that you do not have to be naked when drinking the naked martini, although Sammy 2/a points out that if you are Ellen’s mum- it would be highly recommended and appreciated!! Wowser! Easy tiger!
After Mike & Jo’s unfortunately extended Manhattan expedition (Thankyou Libby / Icelandic volcano ash cloud), they have returned with a renewed vigour for classic mixed drinks & a boredom for 80’s disco cocktails. We will be leading the Wirral Way to attempt to divert our responsibly intoxicated patrons away from calling for ‘cosmos’ and ‘iced teas’, towards ‘flips’ and ‘fizzes’’, ‘cocktails’ (in the original context!) and ‘cobblers’. We would like to thank all at ‘Little Branch’, ‘Employee’s Only’, ‘P.D.T.’ ‘Death & Co.’ ‘Little Owl’, ‘The Market Table’ for inspiration / letting us rob menus / serving us so much! If you ever go downtown Manhattan, please visit these bars & restaurants!
Newly bonded ‘gym buddies’ horny seany and sami 2/A will be hosting the first ever bi-annual obt grand slam squash tournament! Please buy them a drink to receive half the details. A soapy shower and a good rub down apparently included!!
obt ‘one chunk of a man’ escort services!
Our resident chunk of a hunk 2/A (so hot he’s got a code name!) is finally single, so we’ve decided to pimp him out (£100 per night – extras available!). He isn’t picky & will take anything he can get a good hold of, tall, short, slim, hairy – he’s easy…as long as you’re a goer – his number is 0700⅓01134⅛.
**Apparently over 30’s need not apply, except ‘Ellen’s’ mum ‘cos she’s hot!’
‘The inner sanctum of Sherman Billingsley’s famous Stork Club, was called the Cub Room. Every Saturday night helium-filled balloons covered the ceiling of the Cub Room as the guest’s arrived. At the stroke of midnight, everyone grabbed the long string of one of the balloons and popped it, and some lucky stiff found a $100 bill inside!’

'EIGHTY – SIX'
…. is slang for ‘out – of – stock’ products behind the bar, or customers who are barred from entering the premises. Originating during prohibition at ‘Chumley’s’, a bar at 86 Bedford Street – NYC which did brisk business as a speakeasy!
