Check me out, blogging
about things I’ve been doing and ACTUALLY leaving the house for once! I felt
like my blog was getting a bit boring with all the constant beauty reviews, and
thought that it might be fun to review places I’ve been and things I’ve done.
Chris and I have been making an effort to have some down-time together, going
on dates and stuff together. We get so wrapped up in university and work that
we can find it hard to have quality time together, so we’re trying to be more
conscious of date-nights. That’s where God’s greatest gift to mankind, Groupon,
comes into play. I’m forever scrolling through their deals, and I found a fab
one for 6 cocktails for something ridiculous like £22 at Far Rockaway in
Shoreditch.
The Bar itself is
surprisingly huuuge and very weirdly decorated. I say it was weird, but I was
actually loving the mural of Hitler begging every horror movie villain ever for
his life on the wall. We came, we saw, we drank. I chose an Old Fashioned to
kick things off, and Chris went for the ever-so-masculine Appletini. He had the
last laugh, though, as I sat there choking and spluttering my way through the
whisky. Then it was onto a Cosmopolitan for me (my ultimate fave) and Chris
went for a Long Island Ice Tea. Now, I’ve only tried a couple in the past, but
they have always floored me. Chris’s was actually GOOD, and so we both decided
that for the last round, we’d both get a lethal Long Island Iced Tea and
disorientatedly stagger back to the tube station in the rain.
All in all, Groupon has
delivered AGAIN. I’ll definitely be trying out new bars that I may not have
even looked at in the past. Far Rockaway was super fun, cosy, with 90s R&B
playing and reeeally friendly staff. Also, I do love a good cocktail!
Lots of love,
