A buddy of mine is opening a new bar in TTDI called Tom, Dick & Harry’s. It’s not open to the public yet, but checked it out last week for a recce & a drink.
Bar-warming
A wet dry-run
Macallan fans will be pleased that d bar carries almost the entire range.
It serves food too. A slightly more detailed report will be up soon. The outlet is located on the same street as Sid’s on Lrg Rahim Kajai 14, and will be operating for the public from Friday, Dec 4.
I luv rooftop bars! And Sky Bar (2332-9911) is one of ’em. And i luv the tunes they churn there – lounge & house. Just click on the link to be treated to some smooth vibes at their cool website.
In fact some liquor & beer companies could learn a thing or two from here about doing a simple yet cool site. Their websites tend to suck – overdone, over-flashed & under-info to the point of being impractical & uncool.
The outlet recently celebrated gettin people sky-high for three years. Dammit, time sure flies!
Not many rooftops give u the option of jumping-off or swimming
And in style too. Cocktails & champagne. What more can a man ask for??
Well actually a lot more but not in public.
Stylish grape juice
There was this dude i met, Thomas Anostam, who was there to mix special complimentary cocktails. They were great, sold out pretty quick.
Thomas was so focused he didnt realize the view - in Sky Bar and out
He’s from Flow Cocktail in Bangkok.
Sky Bar is a Traders Hotel outlet. Absolutely loved the hotel when i reviewed it for The Star a coupla years ago.
Sky Bar will serve absinthe from Dec 2.
Drunk faeries better dont trip-out n try to fly off into the sunset. Coz its a 33-floor drop.
Looks a lil too healthy for alcos. Haha

Took place on Wednesday noon till midnight at Sid’s, my birthday. Quite a day it turned out to be. The plan was for me to chill , kick-back, & try to last from 12pm to 12am. I only left at 1.30am. Over-achieved. Haha
Starter
I was expecting a grand total of 6 or 7 people, since common folk have to work. Got two liters of liquor ready – Cuban rum & Smirnoff.
Get there around noon, after a dim sum breakfast, for a lunchtime session. Before i can get a drink, the first guest Farah appears. With a cake. She did not know about the no-cake ruling. But since the cake is a fucking awesome chocolate mud cake, she’s forgiven & welcomed.
The first bottle is a Havana Club. Very smooth rum. It goes down easy and slowly, as a few more guests appear during their lunch break. (Some never leave.)
Throughout the afternoon, it rains, and we drink, & listen to sum cool tunes. Niice.
Pissing down
BYO entertainment
The third wave in session at 7+
And in the evening, more show up after work.
There were four waves of people – noon, afternoon, evening, night. More bottles are donated by my sis (Jim Beam) and friends like my buddy Khabir (Gordon’s, Captain Morgan) and Farah (Bacardi). By midnight, my target, things get pretty crazy.
Just when i think we had enough to drink (6 bottles of liquor & a few bottles of wines), Geoff the owner of Sid’s hands me this lil monkey…
Chicano thirst-quencher

What a ride!
Pt 2 of 3 took place Friday nite at Rootz. Pre-partied heavily with some Havana Club at home, and good ol’ Night Train ondaway. Arrive there just at d right level.
Some cool house tunes there. Have 2 more bottles of Havana and was forced to down some champagne – dont recall much after dat!
Rum again, + bubbly, followed by amnesia
Camera malfunction - lens cover failed to fully open. Dis is my view when drunk + half-eyes, so i do have a good reason for not recognizing people sumtimes
Pt 3 of birthday celeb to come soon!

If your family has a history of heart disease, here’s some good news.
A new study has found that alcohol (not limited to red wine) reduces your chance of a heart attack by 50%! Wow.
Start drinking. It’s almost noon.
