Certainly not cheap or in the "specials" category, but 9th Ave Bistro is my best restaurant in Durban!

Damn didn't think that existed. How the hell do they make that profitable...cause there are people out there that can drink some serious draught.;)

The bars/restaurants buy beer for around R4/litre if i remember correctly.... Ribs = R30 / kg Thus... R60 - R30 = R30 IOW R30 / 4 = 7.5 liters of beer :) or 14 and a half draughts :p

Spur and those places make around 300-400% profit on drinks and around 100-200% profit on food.

Fair enough. So they just won't be making any profit on those people that pitch with a designated driver.:D

Yeap :) but they will make a lot of money of the DD that comes with you :(

Also these specials are mostly made for men (no offence meant), you might break even but you GF wife or Hooker will not.

Yea they still make money otherwise they wouldnt do it ;) Draught beer also contains a bit more alcohol in it, so you'll get drunk faster and puke on the floor before the evening is over and you've drunk all your beer...

But in restuarant terms its a good deal ;)

Thats why I think Buffet Restuarants can make good money aswell, because your basically making food on a larger scale, setting it out and telling people what to eat...

Dont you get some stripclubs with buffets... I dont normally eat were I play though :sick: Think Moulin Rouge in Cape Town was like that, could eat and some chicks would come and give you a special treat, like some extra flavour on your fish and stuff :sick::sick::sick:

In Spain when you order a drink they give you a complientary snack - tapas.

If you order a beer, you might get an omlette, chips, crisps - for FREE!!!

The idea is to make you more thirsty i guess. Can u imagine that in SA? :D
