Hard to know how exactly to write a complaint that’s not really a complaint but is also definitely a complaint. There’s a bar in Perth. It’s a new-ish bar. I genuinely like the place. I like the staff. Actually no. The staff are great. Seasoned hospitality pros who like what they do and genuinely seem to like their customers. Extremely welcoming, lovely people. The vibes are pretty immaculate. But goddammit. Those cocktails, the ones that are front and centre of the socials and the one of the cornerstones of their appeal…are tiny. They are tiny! Tiny tiny tiny. Served in tiny glasses for tiny ballerinas. Sylvanian Family glasses. Lego Friends glasses. Thimbles. If you can make one last more than 15 minutes you are doing super fantastic on the self-restraint charts and at the now standard $20-24 price range, making them last a little longer becomes an issue of financial precarity. It would help if the range of other drinks was good but it’s not, the very small beer range is an afterthought. Of course I can go elsewhere. I know this! But I like it there! I’m not one of those people who’d go to Noma and complain when they don’t get the calorific equivalent of a Shetland pony on a plate. I expect some degree of refinement and restraint when I go to a place like this but the ratio is way off. Scale up your glassware and serving sizes or find smaller customers. Maybe children, or children-sized adults, or at least adults with tiny Trump hands. I dunno. It’s the same feeling you get when you go to Costco, but the opposite. The Normal Sized Human:Glassware ratio is all wrong. Anyway this post is about Bar Love.
