Best beer happy hours & promos

Yea, there’re some good promos on these days, as 2011 matures. Competition is stiff among bars. In the last one year alone, the number of new bars has been amazing.

Strapped for cash? Most bars can afford to give away what seem like ridiculous deals. I sure aint complaining. Almost all bars have these deals daily, and that includes weekends!

Best part is, the line between happy hours and sad hours are blurry. While HH used to be for a few hours in the evenings and on weekdays, in some bars it’s not restricted to that anymore.

Here’s a snapshot of the best spots that i know for good thirst-quenching deals. (Strictly not for those who only have one glass.)

I think ALL promo outlets happen to be Guinness Anchor Bhd ones. Wattup. Isnt Carlsberg Malaysia doing anything?

If ur a consumer, or outlet owner, pls feel free to add on, if its a good deal.

S’more’s (2240-0069)

Guinness lovers, heads-up bitchis. Located in The Sphere, Bangsar South, S’mores Restaurant and Bar has been goin nuts. For an undetermined period (at least a coupla months still!), a pint of Guinness is goin for only 12 bucks NETT for certain days of the week. And no, its not Monday & Tuesday from 5pm to 7pm or some crap like that. It’s every Thu, Fri & Sat, from NOON till 11pm. Beat that!

A veryy long Saturday brunch anyone?

The catch? Minor. All u gotta do is order one food item per person, and then your drink orders are unlimited. Smore’s gotta nice outdoor lounge.

Now go drown in black juice.

Prefer cider? Sorry, am all out of Baad Apples hooch for now. But at S’mores every Wednesday (all day, till 10pm), u’ll get a pint of Strongbow for only $15 NETT. Also with purchase of one food item.

Movida (6141-8022)

I’ve only checked this outlet out very recently, in Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara, so i can vouch that it’s an authentic deal. Already i been there thrice. Good for pre-partying. Or weekend afternoons.

Here’s the insane deal: Get your first pint of Kilkenny or Guinness at $34++. Then your next two are A BUCK EACH. Comes up to $13.93 NETT/pint, all day, everday, until 8pm.

After 8pm, the deals are sweet too. Call for details. There’s a new Movida in Malacca now.

The Beer Factory (012 366-5505)

A short dance away from Movida, with similar deals. Only better.

Before 8pm – buy one pint Kill/Guinn at $38.30 nett, get TWO free. Haha. Dats $12.76 NETT / pint.

8pm-10pm – one for one.

After 10pm – get six pints for $115 ($19.15 each).

Overtime (017 243-7907)

Also a crawl away, Overtime has some Malaysian-brewed German beer called Starker, and before 7pm, it’s one-for-one, so works out to $17.40 per 500ml NETT. Some say it tastes better than Hoegaarden. And better value. There are nine outlets all over the place.

As an added bonus, the Village Grocer supermarket here stocks Night Train…. . Goddam.

Spaghetti Grill (2287-2220)

U losers in MidValley might get screwed by the traffic, but this American-diner-style joint balances shit out.The last time i was there, a pint of real cold Guinness in FROZEN mugs was below $15 NETT all day & night.

It’s so good n smooth, u could finish it in four gulps, easy. The liquors are only about 8 bucks, and no, it aint moonshine. Whisky is Famous Grouse.

The snacks are good too.

The 50-bucks-for-three-pints gig

That’s $50 NETT, for either Kilkenny, Guinness, or both. There are many bars doin this, like Royal Oak (all outlets, all hours, daily), D’Legends (all hours, daily), and S’mores (all hours, daily). Works out to $16.66 nett/pint. And most joints allow you to not just park, but come back another day if u cant finish your quota! How nice.

There’s some crazy 33 bucks for three pints (Kilkenny/Guinness) deal at The Curve, at Sanctuary, but its only until 7pm (daily). Malone’s at the same mall has two pints for these prices everyday:

That sure saved me a lot of fucking typing. I hate typing.

There’re also regular deals downtown at Celsius.

I’ve added links for all the outlets, so give ’em a call if ur going if u wanna verify the deals.

After all this effort, I hope i dont get asked anymore “Eh, where to get cheaper beers??”. But i guess i will. Haha!

Enjoy, salud, and better buy me one someday!

Arthur’s pre-party

Big drinking party by Guinness goin on today (Wed) at all four Sid’s Pubs – TTDI, Damansara Heights, Kenny Hills & Bangsar South.

Do it

Here’s the deal:

16:59 – 17:59 – free-flow Guinness Draft
18:00 – 23:59 – $10 net per half pint

This is in conjunction with Arthur’s Day, which is the day Arthur Guinness signed a lease for the Guinness brewery 251 years ago in Dublin. There’s also a gig, i think it’s tomw or sumtin.

The Guinness bus will make an appearance. Unfortunately it aint a party bus, ie, no drinking inside.

St Paddy’s parties

The two stout producers/rivals here, Connor’s & Guinness, are as expected doin stuff for St Patrick’s Day, which officially falls on Wednesday, March 17. Over in Ireland, it has become a five-day festival! It’s obviously huge in US too.

Pat was a nice dude & an Irish missionary (387–493 AD), and brought Christianity to Ireland waaay back. St Patrick’s Day began as a purely Christian holiday but has gradually become more of a secular celebration of Ireland’s culture. St. Patrick’s Day is a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.

I’ll take the “spiritual renewal” part to mean boozing.

Anyway, low-profile Connor’s (of Carlsberg Malaysia) has stuff at five outlets in d Valley on Wednesday. Some activities, some prizes like cameras. A free half pint if ur in green.

Guinness (of GAB) is throwing a party at Central Park Avenue, 1Utama on Friday, March 19, from 6pm.

Am gonna hit it.

Dress code for girls is bikini.

Well, not really, but can la.

There gonna be bands, comedians, fireworks & a booze garden. Details here or preferably go to Facebook page instead. A lot quicker.

Entrance is free of course, but not booze i guess. From experience, Guinness draught should be $10 net a cup.

Happy St Patrick’s Day to all Malaysians, seeing as how we celebrate everything! Cheers, sláinte, bantai!
