A little nightcap

Thursday, 6 November 2014 (PM), Phalodi

After lunch at Lal Niwas, Pati and BeeBee decided they will be too full for dinner (even if they are hungry). They also learned that they had eaten lunch at the best place in town. Pati saw "Fort DeHamir Bar - A well stocked bar that serves cocktails & Mocktails" in the hotel directory. He thought "alcohol kills germs and the sugar in drinks kills hunger" maybe that will do (sugar in tea would work too but despite ordering it in three different restaurants in the last three days it never seems to come). Pati and BeeBee went to the front desk and asked directions to the Fort DeHamir. They were led to a locked room by a member of the hotel staff. He unlocked the door, pushed aside a roman shade, and turned on the lights. Pati and BeeBee knew they shouldn't go in but they did. Pati didn't recognize much but saw a type of beer that was OK and ordered one. They brought him a different brand which isn't OK but he accepted it. BeeBee doesn't drink beer but he thought she might have a sweet mixed drink (she has a cold and Pati knew Nyquil was basically alcohol). He asked the bartender "Do you make cocktails?" The bartender said "Yes" and gave Pati something that resembled a 6 inch potato chip. BeeBee said  "I have had enough weird for one day, let's go." Pati drank his beer as quickly as possible while the bartender stood about a foot away glaring disapprovingly. Pati and BeeBee left and the bar closed again. It is a pretty happening place! On the way back to their room, Pati and BeeBee saw their driver. He mentioned that, despite having a large number of rooms, Pati and BeeBee were the only guests at Lal Niwas. It is a hidden treasure! Pati and BeeBee are considering being too full for breakfast (even if they are starving).
