Harry's Bar (Velocity @ Novena Square)

If you ever wander down to Novena's Harrys on a Sat arvo... do grab a set lunch n a beer n relax e afternoon away...lalalala..... hold on! wait a minute! a beer in e afternoon?!?! r u CRAZY!?!?! SIAO huh? So early drink beer??? well if u belong to this (ahem *cough* losers) school of thoughts.. kindly walk 10 steps across to TCC n get high on your erm mocha? But if u belong to e (ahem *smiles* happening) school of thoughts... let's all get high on our beer n boo across at those kopi ppl! HA!

Now that i've got your attention.. u gona thank me for introducing this cool lifestyle to u.. Waking up on a boring sat arvo with nothing to do? Fancy having some hot food n cold beer in your tummy? Then head on down to Harry's and juz relaxxxxxxxx! (wahahaha this read like an advert but it's not!)

Anyway... Harrys @ Novena offers a fantastic 3-course lunch deal at $12.90 nett.. To start there's e soup of e day such as clam chowder n tomato soup n potato soup n onion soup.. i actually do like e soup.. it din wow me but it's not bad la.. then there's e mains of fish n chips n salmon n bangers n mash n pasta n lasagne n pork chop etc to choose from.. i personally lurve bangers n mash so tat's alwaz my choice... i lurve e sausages n mashed potatoes n onions n brown sauce.. imagine having this on a sat arvo? lovely!

my partner in crime alwaz have e fish n chips which is beer battered and is not too bad.. e accompanying fries r wonderful! thin fries sprinkled with curry powder! yum! i've tried e salmon as well n i tot it's quite good as well... will update more if i ever veer from my bangers n mash n venture into e lasagne or pork chop!

Lastly would b e dessert.. i alwaz have e warm choc cake with generous chocolate syrup n a scoop of vanilla ice-cream... OMG having this on a sat arvo? Sinful! At $12.90 i alwaz tot this is a great steal coz e food r beautifully presented n r of generous portions.. absolutely perfect to laze e afternoon away..

Since we r already sinners we might as well sin away n order a bucket of harrys! 5 bottles at $39 is not too bad a deal.. i'm a surprise fan of harrys beer coz like any good old drinker.. u do get a bit skeptical at harry's own label beer but it's surprising good! light n refreshing.. juz nice for a afternoon...kilkenny? see ya after sun set!

The sun could kill your mood so advice is to stay indoor for lunch n when it gets less sunny n more windy.. head out to e alfresco area n enjoy e "view" while sipping on an ice cold beer... harrys? heinken? watever... ahhhhhhhhhh that's life! seriously.......go give it a tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...........

5 December 2007 : 77 & I came to this drinking place for a mid-week stiff drink.

We ordered :
[JC] : Brain hemorrhage ($9) & Passion Fruit Daiquiri ($10)



[77] : Sunset Paradise ($9)


The Brain Hemorrhage (peach schnapps, bailey’s, Grenadine) really looked like innards floating in peach schnapps. Anyway, I enjoyed this shooter because it was a good stiff drink.

The passion fruit Daiquiri was like a kiddo syrupy ice-blended drink. There wasn’t much alcohol inside.

I decided to walk back to the old shack in the rain to sober up….(“,)

Slide Show !~

I come to Harry's Bar regularly for two primary reasons - the after work drink as well as for sports. They regularly have most sports channels here, although I am a little disappointed that they do not have Channel 107 which shows the American National Football League (NFL). Service is pretty efficient with staff doing their best to meet my requests for certain channels to be shown. As there are several television sets, this allows for different shows to air at the same time at different corners of the bar. During happy hours, one can even get a bottle of beer for about $8 - a steal these days. That by itself is a good enough reason for me to make this my regular haunt.
