Wow some bars really gets hit hard on mid-month Friday nights, and i dont mean in a good way….Check out this pic, in Baby Lynch, at around 9pm. That is the bar, and there are no people, let alone queues at it!

I was in, and there were about 4 or 5 groups of people in there, that counts 2-3 people as a group. It was so empty it was untrue.

There were 2 PR people outside, a doorman, and probably 6 bar staff…Thats 9 people and probably less than 20 customers at one time!

And what happens when i go? They sell a crap drink and get it wrong! Baby Lynch is one of the “more sophisticated” bars allegedly. But when i got a Vodka and Redbull i got the same old generic energy drink and some Smirnoff vodka which tasted really watered down. The drink tasted so watered down!! They have Redbull, and i ask for Redbull, but thats not what you get. How much do you think for a weak tasting vodka and fake Redbull? £4.50!!

I really dont understand how a bar which is supposed to be upmarket wants to sell their customers cheap drinks at expensive prices. Maybe thats why it was empty!

WOW! Just as a write something good about Baby Lynch the inevitable happens…They mess up. Once again its the old routine of getting a drink you dont ask for and then the staff throwing their toys out of their pram.

Of course i am talking about the old “Redbull or not Redbull” story….

“Can i have Grey Goose and Redbull” -Yes
Comes over with the drink. “Thats £6.40 please”
“OK, can i have the can?” -”You want the can? ok”
Barman comes over with a can of something which isnt Redbull
“sorry, i asked for Redbull, this isnt Redbull, can i please have Redbull”
Barman then goes off in a huff and finally makes the drink i asked for in the first place..

This age old argument seems really petty and bitchy, but come on, £6.40 for some cheap energy drink (which you dont get you only get part of a can if they can help it) and vodka. It isnt on.

If they go to a clothes shop and ask for a Nike T-Shirt and they say yeah sure thats £25 and the guy comes back with a generic white t-shirt would they accept it? I dont think so!

It’s funny, because i was in Baby Lynch earlier on and ordered exactly the same drink, and i got it first time of asking. The bargirl even told me, “You’ll have to buy the can mind” which is fine, it was £6.30 (why 10p cheaper first time round?!!?) so its not like they sell you the generic energy drink to save you money, its to save THEM money.

Why do they stock Redbull if they aren’t going to sell you it?

If you are one of the many people like me who drink Vodka Redbull then you will know exactly what i am talking about Before i would just accept it, these days i will not. If you go to any bar and ask for Redbull and dont get it please refuse and ask for another drink!!!

Baby Lynch, sort out your staff!!! Maybe i was served by the ‘baby’ himself, i dont know. He sure acted like it.

Have the people at Baby Lynch been listening to NewcastleVIP? I posted earlier about how the bar sells many vodkas, but is cheap when it comes to the mixers, in particular the energy drinks…

They seemed to only sell some generic excuse for a drink instead of the industry standard, Redbull…Well at the bar on the right (not the main bar) they have Redbull! maybe they have always had this here, or maybe they read what the people want on Newcastle VIP

Thank you Baby Lynch. You have gone up in my opinion!
