We have barely opened and there are already 20 patrons here! Oh, we do have something special for you. As Katerina let you down a little bit, she sent you a case of Becherova, The Czech Republic's national drink:

Do you serve Root Beer for me?
As this is England:
"Teens ages 16 and 17 may drink wine, beer or cider with a meal at a public establishment if purchased by an accompanying adult. Those under 18 may not drink spirits, like whiskey or rum, even if accompanying a meal."
So, if you come with an adult, we can serve you as per the laws above.
Root beer is certainly available, but we suggest our premium Ginger Beer. Non-alcoholic, of course, and locally brewed.

I will try Ginger Beer. Never had that or even heard of it before. I have heard of regular beer which I find the taste of that disgusting that I have had sips of. Wine and Ciders on the other hand.

Flipped a coin, thought it clever.
ZIdansek tried, but, Udvardy broke.
Bookies favorite? What a load!
Bartender! Got anything Hungarian?
Palinka-from-Hungary.jpg
One of Hungary's favorite drinks, Pálinka is a spirit native to Hungary and comes in different flavors including barack (apricot) and cseresznye (cherry). The best of them is the Hungarian alcohol drink szilva (plum) which comes from the Szatmár district.
So, which flavor do you fancy? Or, if we give you the five bottles, we can assure a most potent hangover that will make this defeat pale in comparison. So, just leave us your address and we can send you home later. Or not. -->

Irena2 Tauson injured. I am out of the women's pool. I dropped by the store to pick up some Royal Dansk cookies for everyone yesterday, but I ate them all while watching a replay of Isner almost go out (you know how long Isner matches go at Wimbledon). Isner survived and Diego made it through for me today, so I went back and got a new tin of cookies for us. And I would like to try Amargo Obrero with some fizzy water to honor Diego, who kept the Axe Man at bay today!

May I join you? Giorgi is usually a reliable pick for the early rounds at Wimbledon. I think I’ll have a limoncello to match the sour look on Giorgi’s face.

No, we told you the law says that AN ADULT can order for you, and it has to be together with a meal.

If that line of thinking were to exclude us from having a drink, we would all be monks in this place.
Grab a drink, get a plate of cochinillo, we will come up with some dessert later. 6 days of proper picks is already pretty good.
by Cuckoo4Coco I just can't eat something that is looking at me and that drink sounds like it would knock me right onto my butt.
by ponchi101 It is pretty strong stuff. ANIZ, a very common drink in the Mediterranean. Pretty much, liquid licorice. Not a drink I like too much, but a staple in the region.

It is pretty strong stuff. ANIZ, a very common drink in the Mediterranean. Pretty much, liquid licorice. Not a drink I like too much, but a staple in the region.

I would bet you would. If you like French Pastis, Aniz is for you.
