About the only thing that ticked me off last night was failing to have a drink in hand for "the moment"; not because I didn't have a drink, but because the reason for the lack of drink was that the barstaff had ALL failed to serve our section of the bar for a full fifteen minutes, being too busy attending to people who just swanned up to other sections of the bar while we waited patiently, then a mite frustratedly, and then somewhat angrily, and ultimately decided we'd prefer to schlep on home after midnight and break into some wine instead of giving those losers any more cash for their overpriced alcohol.

Really, though, other than that it was an excellent night.

We had a better experience where the bar staff walked around the bar at about 11:50 with a tray full of full champagne glasses (plastic of course)so that everyone was well served in time. I have seen this work more often than fail. You did the right option. I hope though it wasn't your local as that is beyond redemption to not look after the regulars.
