Who fancies a dessert?

Good day to you my fine blog followers, "where you been?" i hear you cry, well busy is the answer, busy going to pool, busy going to the beach, busy going for nice meals, busy going for nice rides on my bike and busy eating lobster (more about all that in another post).

The Oceanic is still going well although the past week has gone a bit quieter on the Old Kalamaki road more 18-30's and eastern europeans than couples and families from the UK but July and August aren't really my months, i'm very lucky in having May, June, Sept and Oct as busy months where other bars have only July and Aug as their main season so i can't grumble.

The Kev's Unique cocktail range is growing with the addition of the "Comfortably Numb", Cherry Bakewell, Black forrest Gateaux and Lemon Cheesecake. These cocktails you will only find in Oceanic as i'm the only one sad enough to work on new cocktails LOL. I can't go in to to much detail with regards ingredients as its "TOP SECRET" like Colonel Sanders Kentucky Fried Chicken, well in fact its nothing like Kentucky Fried Chicken as thats a greasy coating with dried up chicken under it, dropped in a box to soak through the bottom and leave a horrible stain on your jeans when eating it at 4am in the morning on a bench by cardiff city hall, my cocktails are the opposite, lovely tasting alcohol based delights that slide down your neck then hit the neural centre of your brain to make you giggly and light headed, which can also lead to sitting on a bench by cardiff city hall at 4am, anywhooooo here are some pics of the new lovelys i've come up with.

THE LEMON CHEESECAKE

THE BLACK FORREST GATEAUX

I didn't bother taking a pic of the other 2 cocktails as they look pretty boring it would be like putting a Cheeky Girl next to Angelina Jolie, pointless! HAHA!

"A change is as good as a rest!"

Well what can i say "I'm Pooped!" Its been an amazing May, best start to a season i've ever had even when i was at Tropicana, Capacity bar most nights even when it rained, lovely company, great customers and fun chilled out nights, you would never think there was a credit crunch. My bar always does well in May and gets quieter in june but at the moment there is no let up so i feel very lucky to be having such a good start.

Well i thought it was time for a change as i don't get any rest LOL. On sunday i decided to re-design the bar and put a bar outside and build a cocktail prep area inside, started at 8am, finsihed at 6.10pm and opened at 7pm, worked non stop through the day and i think now the bar is better than ever. Would like to thank my best mate Dez for helping to build the inside cocktail prep area in the afternoon. So here is a picture Gallery of Before and After.
