Perfect for a quick break from shopping

My friend just bought underwear for her wedding night… my other friend just spent aaages looking for the perfect wedding outfit… how should one celebrate such a feat? Stop off for champagne of course! :) Remember that this bar IS in the middle of the shopping centre, and balancing on stools doesn’t make it the most comfy of destinations… but this is all improved with a happy hour price-list. I am always partial to a little glass of bubbly… but happy hour at Searcys made it almost obligatory for us to stop off and try the rose. Champagne that works out cheaper than wine is always a good idea.

«What-ho!!! Bring me your finest Champagne my good man»…well I didn’t actually say that for fear that some french revolutionaries were waiting in the shadowy corners to appear like the Spanish inquisition… The Champagne Bar by Searcys 1847 is located in the prestigious Village section of Westfield. The bar sits 34 and is a welcome break if you have been shopping for hours on end… ideally I like to soak my feet in the finest champagne bubbles but in this economy I have to satisfy myself with just drinking the stuff… Security also pointed out that 1) they didn’t like my feet and 2) you aren’t meant to soak your feet in champagne(hey who knew right!!) All kidding aside… if you want somewhere nice to sit to take a load off and consume something alcoholic and bubbly — not some mamby pamby iced soya latte coffo mocca cocco blah blah blah — then this is as nicer place as any in Westfield. Nice champagne and good bellinis… it is pricey(but not remortgage you house pricey) but it is champagne so what exactly were you expecting… this is not pound-land people. The only thing I cannot get over is that lush(married) ladies of a certain age tend to take a gulp or two of three of the fizzy stuff… get tiddly-er…and try to chat up the staff… why-oh-why-oh-why…did I not discover this endless source of cringe worthy entertainment sooner. I cannot get sued for saying this right… damn I should have said«allegedly»…
