Japan calling

[Josquius]

Last night: Epic fail.
"Lets go to somewhere different" said we "Not the usual pub with the usual people. Lets find some small Japanese place!"
A side street or two later and we found a likely place, it seemed nice, small but not just a bar against a wall as so many others are. We sat, got a beer, and it was good...until the woman started bringing us little snacks and suchlike....I smelled something fishy and asked the girl who spoke better Japanese to ask what was up- ack, 10 quid fee just for coming in the place. And it was just a little Japanese pub, not a club, not one of those sleazy places with girls on show, just a little pub.
That'll teach me never to experiment with where I drink again.
Though it does give me a better idea of how those tiny places with just a bar and 4 chairs stay in business.

There is nothing epic about that. Try again.

A beer costing $20 is rather epic.

Not really if you are factoring in a cover charge.

The epic fail is that he was apparantly unfamiliar with the concept of a cover charge.

Sort of.
Such things are normally reserved for clubs or places with live entertainment, not random pubs.
