the mELBOURNE BAR LIST | In search of Zig Zag

https://insearchofzigzag.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/the-melbourne-bar-list

In search of Zig Zag. The mELBOURNE BAR LIST. Recently I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some time in Melbourne exploring the bar scene and I have to say that I came away very impressed.  The sheer number of quality bars staffed with great people who really care about what they serve is something to behold after my largely fruitless searches in Sydney, but that is another story. Seamstress – city. Black pearl – brunswick st, fitzroy –. Manchuria – good luck. Gin palace – 1951 martini. Enter your...

October | 2010 | In search of Zig Zag

https://insearchofzigzag.wordpress.com/2010/10

In search of Zig Zag. Archive for October, 2010. 13 weeks in Montreal and on the last night I finally find my style of bar. Which leads me into the tale of my last night in Montreal for the year. The night started with dinner at a Portuguese restaurant, Chez Michel, followed by drinks on St Denis at bar called La berouf (standard pub but with some fantastic wood work, an impressive. Collection of scotch and about 30 beers on offer) we then decided to head back to the old port for a drink at Vauvert.

Der raum | In search of Zig Zag

https://insearchofzigzag.wordpress.com/2010/04/04/der-raum

In search of Zig Zag. Another week on the road has seen me back in the Melbourne and that of course meant some visits to a couple of my favourite bars and foremost amongst those is the world renowned Der Raum. Which I had actually intended to write a review of as part of a follow up to my Melbourne Bars Pt1. Post from last year, but as seems to happen, time got away from me and it didn’t happen, so I figured I owed them their own review. But to focus on wafting mists of the liquid nitrogen is to really s...

The Cathay Pacific lounge in Hong Kong … no seriously | In search of Zig Zag

https://insearchofzigzag.wordpress.com/2010/03/13/the-cathay-pacific-lounge-in-hong-kong-no-seriously

In search of Zig Zag. The Cathay Pacific lounge in Hong Kong … no seriously. Which is the sister bar to Der Raum. Which is one of my favourite Melbourne bars. Whilst making said Manhattan, Zak was distracted by another customer, so finished mixing my drink then handed it across. After asking as to the make up of it (Jim Beam and Martini Rosso) he realised that he had forgotten the bitters, so recalled the drink, apologised for his slip up and proceeded to update the drink accordingly. Feed for this Entry.

The tippling club | In search of Zig Zag

https://insearchofzigzag.wordpress.com/2010/04/05/the-tippling-club

In search of Zig Zag. After my recent trip to Seoul. I was fortunate to be able to fly home via Singapore so I took the chance to check out the sister bar to one of my favourite Melbourne establishments, Der Raum. Offers both 5 and 10 course options with and without accompanying cocktails.  According to their website the goal was to create one big chef’s table, engrossing and drawing the customer into the kitchen and bar and to experience all the magic of the creative process . TTC has an interesting fee...

Obituary – Das zimmer hobart | In search of Zig Zag

https://insearchofzigzag.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/obituary-das-zimmer-hobart

In search of Zig Zag. Obituary – Das zimmer hobart. As i was awaiting my flight home from an all to brief holiday in Cairns I was saddened to read of the imminent passing of what was my favourite cocktail bar in Hobart, Das Zimmer. This boutique cocktail lounge come supper club, run by Sean Buekes and Anthony Smith, was one of those hidden gems that you only stumble across through either good fortune or a word of mouth  recommendation. Once you reached the table, you would then be greeted by either Sean ...

so those melbourne bars …… (pt 1) | In search of Zig Zag

https://insearchofzigzag.wordpress.com/2009/11/28/so-those-melbourne-bars-pt-1

In search of Zig Zag. So those melbourne bars …… (pt 1). A few months back I had made a trip to Melbourne and did a brief post that contained a list of bars. I had accumulated for Melbourne from a couple of different sources, but I have been rather remiss in actually following up on that, thus I find myself back in Melbourne on a very warm Thursday night and seated at Der Raum. So here is the first part of what will be a multipart series on bars in Melbourne. . In addition to the bar stools, there are al...

Drinking in Seoul | In search of Zig Zag

https://insearchofzigzag.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/drinking-in-seoul

In search of Zig Zag. As per my last post, I’ve been on the road for business again, and this time I was returning to Seoul for a week.  This was my second trip to Seoul, with the last one being around the same time last year.  on that trip I had a fairly fruitless exploration of the bar scene. . So what about the bikini bars? 160; Well they are basically a hof where the girls are wearing bikinis or lingerie, and your drinks cost more. From the street, it is easy to wander past and not even spot this gem...
