London Glamspatch:
By Sean "Super Pimp" Williams
A painting of Ganesh on the wall of the Bedroom Bar in London. As we continue on the "Road To Ganeshpuri" one of Glamwire's most cherished film projects....maybe that road must pass through the Bedroom Bar. Hmmmm. And apparently there are comedians waxing comedically on level one. Hmmmm.
Bedroom Bar, Shoreditch, London by Sean Williams
LONDON--October 8th, 2008 --The Bedroom Bar, situated in Rivington Street, runs a finely-tuned precipice in east London between the bloated bankers of Old Street and their drainpiped boho compatriots creeping in from Shoreditch and Hoxton.
Happily, there’s something for everyone here- especially as the Bedroom carries the successful Comedy Café as its subterranean sister venue. Cheap pints-a-plenty for the hard-up, and a cocktail list to enliven even the most hardy HBOS punter mean this place is one of the few locations where suits and students can rub shoulders in drunken joy.
Add in the fervent Indian décor- inclusive of giant Ganesha- and the dimly-lit corridors and plush sofas here are more than conducive to a bit of hanky-panky. The great and the good from London’s underground chilled house and techno DJ echelons flock here Bedroom each weekend, too: music, cocktails and giant elephants- what more do you
Want.

BEKI BIZZ: The notes of Beki "Pina Colada" Thomas
”If you like PINA COLADAS.....”
WELL..I'm obsessed with them, and here's what I like to do.....try it!!
Whether you are with your best mate, on a casual date or just wanna gossip and people watch in Manhattan while drinking heaven in a glass on a budget, then I have the perfect thing to help kick off your afternoon.
It's a bit trashy but,....
.
... on the corner of St.Marks and 2nd Ave in the East Village, you will find the place where you can get a JUMBO pina colada for $7.99 and for an extra $1 you get a test tube shot of ...ah...something and together it makes one mutha flippin' recipe for talking shit and gorking at spunks (Hot boys) walking by ....it's like a meal or dessert
...DIVINE!!!!.. BUT !- beware- if you have more than two, you won't be able to walk...for two reasons...(drunk and FAT haha)... but trust me, it's worth it. Then...if you think mixing seafood in with pineapple juice and coconut milk is a good idea... you should really jump on the 'Hipster Express' (The L Train..I'll elaborate more on that later) on 14th and 1st Ave and get your ass to Williamsburg!..get off at Bedford Ave 'Hipsterville' (more on that later too).. then head to the Seafood place on Nth 6th near Bedford.
It's like being in Ko Samui in Thailand or some tropical paradise...HEAVEN!!!...with sand on the ground and fairy lights and rock /punk music blaring...a Tiki wonderland and a treat for your every sense....there's an outside area that I immediately wanted to book for my wedding reception when I saw it...(just gotta meet my husband to be yet haaaa)....and yes, if you like Pina Coladas WELL – they have em' !!!!!!!! yum..nice strong ones too mm m mmmmmmmmm... Oh and amazing fish n stuff AND these yummy sweet potato fries with a mayo dippy thing.
..OK, you may be feeling reeeeeallly sick by now, but if things are getting nice n rowdy and you wanna continue on to a bar with a band or 80's music or something?? WELL guess what? ! I HAVE THE PERFECT PLACE FOR YA!!!!!
It's called Otto's Shrunken Head Tiki bar and Lounge...yes, that's what I said..it's on 14th, B/W A & B.
Vincent, the guy that may greet you at the door is a Vampire oooooo- but he's cuddly and nice (shhhh don't say I said that)... This place is decked out in more Tiki shit (obviously)..there's booths and a cool bar to prop yourself up at, bands in the back room and the best mix of new wave pop, Madonna or whatever they might be playing..there's probably a horror movie on the screen in the background and the bartenders are most likely doing shots and crazy punk ass corry (choreagraphed dancing) behind the bar.
One weird thing I've noticed about Otto's though...is that they PUMP the air con (A/C) WAY too high and it's a bit freezing in there in the middle of summer..we did a show there and our drummer was rugged up in a jacket and scarf behind the drum kit.. BUT! Besides that, they make a mean, mean Mutha MUTHA of a you guessed it PINA COLADA. Seeya next week for Hipsterville and Turkey shakes!..and why are there so many beards in W/Burg and do us girls really like em' ????
