You know you've got good friends when they order you a 20 dollar "smokey tequila" drink that is really, and I mean REALLY, boozy.
Ohhh The Diamond. Never a disappointment that's for sure. I was introduced to this super swanky 2nd floor bar in Gastown about a month ago, and it has quickly become a favourite. The atmosphere is incredible, the view can't be beat, and the cocktails are off the charts. It's just a good place to be on a Saturday.
For those of you who didn't know, or don't actually care because that's fine too, it was my 21st birthday just over a week ago. I've been blessed with a D.O.B. right around the start of school, so I usually have to celebrate on the first weekend after classes have started. Which, if you're in fashion, you understand that even after the first week you've sold your soul to education and your social life slowly starts to get washed down the drain like cheap hair dye. I woke up Saturday morning thinking "sh*t... why did I have to plan a night out... THERE'S SO. MUCH. HOMEWORK." Buuuuut, in all fairness, the workload is only going to multiply by the day so I figured this was our last kick at any type of social interactions outside of Kwantlen's fashion department.

This drink. They call it the Improvised Rosita. I call it a night ruiner. I love a good cocktail as much as the next posh girl, but this thing..... It's a different kind of drink, and referred to by our waitress as "a boozy one". That should've been my second red flag... after her asking if I like tequila... needless to say, it took well over an hour to polish it off. Thanks Jessi. |
