Acqua E Vino

Met up with some friends from work at Acqua E Vino last Friday night for dinner and drinks. A cosy little bar/ restaurant in Yarraville. Actually, I was amazed when I drove up Anderson St. in Yarraville to discover so many cafes, bars and restaurants. It was like Brunswick St. but in the West. So hidden from the main road that I never realised this place existed. Acqua E Vino is very much like Supper Club in the city. A cigar bar with an enormous drinks list. Just the martini list alone is like 4 pages. There's even a section called The Million Dollar Cocktail list. And here you will find cocktails that cost up to $260!!! The place is decked out with large leather sofas and has a very 1920s gothic feel to it. Old fashioned chandeliers light up the place and because it's a cigar bar, the smell of the place is quite over whelming. The food menu consisted mainly of snack size tapas. We ordered almost everything on the menu, from bite size calamari pieces to little lamb cutlets (which were scrumptious!). The best was the chicken and pesto pizza; highly recommended. I hope to bring the girls here for a night out in the West one weekend. It's a very cosy place and well hidden from the streets, being located in a side street and on the first floor.

Later on in the night, I went to Lavish. I had initially wanted to catch up with Plastic at JWOW but was reluctant to drive into the city and look for parking. Plus Lavish was closer to where I was anyway. Caught up with BBs who had just found out that she's passed her Chartered Accounting exam and is now fully qualified. Congratulations BBs! Well, done. But now that no more studying is required, will that mean more partying or will that mean more research into another course? BBs was truly thrashed that night and didnt have much recollection the next day. Atleast she still looked decent. No one would've suspected she was drunk at all.

Lavish had their House Edition night on and some guest DJ was playing in the main room. I actually quite enjoyed the music. He played alot of old school commercial house and not much electro stuff. BBs and I had a great time hanging in the main room with Cutey. Piggy didnt get off work till 1am in the morning and came to join us after checking into her hotel in the city. Ball Breaker also worked late that night and didnt finish up till 2am!! Poor bitch. Cutey was very happy to see me, Piggy and BBs there on Friday. The usual suspects were not with us. They had sacrificed Lavish for another club called Room instead. That's 2 nights in a row to Room for some of them crazy people.

A group of my old friends were there too. Friends who I had gathered whilst in a relationship once upon a time. The loser ex was there too and I made it known he was my loser ex. Thankfully, he's not the sensitive type and took no offence to me calling him a loser all night. Piggy was happy to see the boys as well and just as pleased were they to see her. It's been awhile and apart from the loser ex, his friends are pretty nice people. The Baker was so happy to see Piggy, he planted a kiss on her lips in front of everyone. BBs was a little taken back with this public display of affection. She was wondering the whole time if Piggy actually knew this baldy! It's all good.
