It is indeed - half price on selected drinks. My $8 fruit shake was "only" $4. Plus 7%.Miguelito wrote: Isn't it happy hour there (half off drinks) until 9?
I was quoting their standard prices.
To be fair it did come with an array of nibblies.

I doubt one would consider Chez Rina a "hostess bar", but it's stocked with at least 2 pro's I know. If you're paying for "lady" drinks and chicks get paid to hang out there for your entertainment (ie Shanghai Bar), I guess in a way, it's a hostess bar. Certainly high end. Not sure you can barfine a girl out of there or not. It's a nice spot either way.jm wrote:Too many couples and single women go to Chez Rina for it to be reasonably considered a hostess bar. Given the crowd it gets late evening I never thought it was overstaffed nor do the girls push lady drinks in my experience.Miguelito wrote:I wasn't aware Chez Rina was possibly a "hostess" bar; went there with the wife for a cocktail the other night. Looked like a classy place, but the only other customer was a guy in his late 60s (probably) who brought a date in her 20's there, who did hold his hand the whole time and let him cuddle up next to her, etc, but looked rather bored.offshoresports wrote:In the case of Chez Rina I think you've created a new category, High-end Hostess Bar?
In retrospect, there were a lot of female staff on hand, and then the one guy in charge of making drinks. Our drink was pleasant enough, but I don't think we'll be rushing to go back.

i couldnt justify those pricesyoungwill100 wrote:As I sit here in the Elephant Bar awaiting Gibbon's appearance, I can state for the record that it is definitely not a hostess bargibbon arms wrote: Snifters of brandy and cocoa infused beedi's at Elephant Bar today at 5:15, if you're game old chap.
Two rather sturdy waitresses, one of whom refused an offered drink, thus failing question #1 of GM's test.
Drinks are on the stiff side price-wise:
Gin and Tonic $9, Jack Daniels $10, vodka $9 and cocktails from $14-18. All plus 7% service charge.
Makes typical hostess bar drinks prices a bargain, especially when you factor in the bevy of attractive ladies present in these bars.

When you are back next month I will take you there for a long beer - you will weep, as I wept, when you see what they have done to it in its entirety ...Petrol Head wrote:What in gods name is that ?
