Venue Review: Minque

I went out last night to Minque. It's a lounge/bar/club located in trendy Manuka, on the southside of Canberra.

Initial impressions: faint vomit/strong cigarette smoke smell, good looking but try-hardish patrons. Bar staff have very gay hair but are definitely not gay. In the skunkish sense.

Drinks: I could hardly taste the vodka in my mixer drink, and it wasn't top shelf vodka.

Toilets: Reasonably clean, and ever so slightly innovative. Urinal is made out of granite. Tap over marble sloping sink did not work very well, but water was cold. Good thing.

Music: generic housey shit blaring into the street.

Clientele: my companion commented that the crowd gets younger, druggier and woggier as the night progresses.

Atmosphere: very smokey, generally making one feel sick for the following few days.

All in all, a good night was had!

I hate bars that smell like broken dreams & old beer.... but what other kind are there, really? Pretentious upscale "lounges" Mind you, those are nice once in awhile.
