Dats right, it’s the sequel of Thirsty Sunday, which i attended last year. This time the event has no beer-tasting, but there’s food – bbq to be exact; and cheap lagers and ales, including weissbier (draft). Takes place at bakita on Changkat Bukit Bintang from 2.30pm to 7pm.
Easter Sunday will never be the same again.
Afternoon drinks? For sure!
Another bar will be opening along Rahim Kajai in Tmn Tun, called Chip n Dale.
Gettin set
Operations shd commence soon, and it will be open from 11am. It will be a GAB outlet, and specializing in cocktails. Food is non-halal, with pork as well.
Will keep yall posted.
Its really rare that u ride a bus that takes u from bar to bar for free drinks all evening! That’s what i did in conjunction with St Patrick’s.
It was the Malone’s Bus Tour, a bar crawl dat began at Malone’s The Curve, on to Malone’s KLCC, then Pavillion, and finally Malone’s Sentral for a full-on St Patrick’s party. Phew! Nice.
Wristbands all set
It was a sweet deal. 100 bucks for free Guinness Draughts at all four Malone’s outlets, and some food too.
As i was concerned about downtime in between bars, I did expect draught on d bus too, but at least there wuz ice-cold Guinness FES.
Ahh, first beer of d evening
All aboard!
For d ride
The party bus had a musician to entertain on board, Arif
The intoxicated mob charges into KLCC
Arif gets busy @ Malone's KLCC
Bus gets rowdier
Topping up, Pavillion
Oi! Curi glass ah?
The booze bus crew
It was a unique experience and I had a great night. Malone’s might even do it again.
A few days later, checked out Sid’s Kenny Hills outdoor St Patrick’s party, with Guinness at five bucks a cup.
Colourful
Greenman got lost
Some bush session
Guinness pint got high on his own supply
Watdehell! Guinness 'tower'

After many, many years, Johnnie Walker has modified the look of its Black Label bottle. The introduction went down at Teeq on Lot 10’s rooftop.
Pre-dinner drinks were several types of whisky cocktails, not really a thing for me, as i enjoy its flavours with water.
Guests were treated to a short talk by the brand ambassador, as well as an interesting “Keep Walking” video, the story of JW.
The whisky has sure come a long way from its origins in John Walker’s grocery store almost 200 years back. The Red Label is the best-selling whisky in the world, with five bottles downed a second.
There was a tasting too! I like. We got to try several of their labels….. including…. ….. Blue! My fave!
Serialized. Dont mess
Of the millions of casks in the Johnnie Walker reserves, only a few in a thousand are set aside to mature for the Blue. Some of these rare casks are from distilleries that no longer exist, making them irreplaceable. But i’m sidetracking.
Ready for 'class'
Yummy. Enjoyed/emptied them all
Yea, use two hands now
The great food of Teeq accompanied the whiskies prepared for us. The finale was ice-cream, chocolate & sum other sweet stuff with a shot of Gold Label Reserve, a special blend that is relatively new. Best enjoyed neat, chilled or over ice.
Seems like a strange combi
Anyway, about the new bottle (almost forgot about that!). I like it. If the old bottle was very classic, the new one’s a mix of that and modern. Should pass the Uncle Test.
The top has a stronger shoulder, while the bottom half has changed significantly – not as squarish, but rounder and refined. The bottle’s base is now an octagon rather than a square.
Security features are enhanced to prevent counterfeit whisky. Once the cap’s seal is popped, a gold ring will indicate that.
Old (L) and new
The labels have also changed, and the bottom label’s gone minimal and transparent to accentuate the bottle’s fine, tight new ass. Check it out. Give it a spank. The new bottles are already out there as of late last month.
