PubNight #619 (7/30/08) - Barramundi

Previous PubNights PubNight Home

Good evening, summer Pub Nighters, and welcome to the PN Discovery Channel. We have a lot of fun facts for you tonight. Actually, just one. I was going to inundate you all with facts about the barramundi fish, but then I heard about this neat-o tree-shrew which can drink all of you under the table. (Yes, even you over there in the corner. I see you trying to be upright.) Apparently, it can drink all night, never get tipsy, and has 55 millions years of practice. Check it out: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7530720.stm

(I also want to know more about this plant which ferments itself. This strikes me as the height of efficiency.)

Anyway, for the part you skimmed over the science to get at, Pub Night was last at Barramundi in the summer of 2006. With its ginger-vodka martinis, mojitos, and infamous white sangria, this LES bar sounds perfect when the thermometer hits 90. (Seriously, 90? I hate summer.)

Happy hour is from 6pm to 9pm, with $3 draft beer and $1 off all other drinks, important info for those of you who want to start early.
