Found out that Drunken Poet is at Orchard Towers. Just saying, in case wives, husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends have issue with that. I'm happy with Finders Keepers too. Any idea what the prices are like at these two?
Technically it as at the front with a separate entrance to OT.

A regular just confirmed it, Muddys is moving back to Claymore, in August. Brilliant.

Never been near US, but I know George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IATA Code IAH) is big, big enough for UA to have a hub and SQ to have 5 flights a week, with 773Ws ....

George Bush (IAH) had almost 20 million passengers in 2014, DFW about 30 million. SQ has cut back their IAH - DMW - SIN flights to 3 per week but quite a few others have introduced "direct to the Orient" service to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, and even China... it used to be that a IAH - LAX hop was mandatory to get Asia.

The Auntie behind the bar also confirmed the August move last week when I was there.
Sadly "The Basement Area" has now been filled in and I dont think it will be possible to recreate it.
One can but hope though.

It's okay by me. Are we talking about the Dead Poet's Society or Finder's Keepers? Far as I'm concerned 7:30~8:00ish is good for me as per normal till the cows come home. As long as there's beer that doesn't break the bank, I'm happy.

Finders Keepers looks cheaper than Drunken Poet if the original drink offers when it opened stand.
There are a number of places down near Far East Square that are very cheap Bucket of 5 for $25 nett as well.
