  • POV: If 91大神 Was a Bar

    If 91大神 was a bar, we’d do dorime for everybody, even if they buy water. Our cocktail names would be cool too e.g. “I don’t want to be a mechanic”

    Written By:

    It鈥檚 Friday night, and you鈥檝e just entered this new spot called Z Bar, the superior alphabet bar in Lagos (argue with your laptop charger). You walk in and see the name 91大神 everywhere, and there鈥檚 a mix of joy and fear on your face. Because you know nothing is normal when it comes to 91大神. 

    This is what鈥檚 likely to happen if 91大神 were to be a bar: 

    You鈥檒l be quizzed

     鈥淭ake This Quiz, and We鈥檒l Know If You鈥檙e Above 18 or Not鈥. We can鈥檛 just give you drinks without knowing if you鈥檙e legal or not. You鈥檒l also have to take the 鈥淗ow Drunk Are You?鈥 quiz so we can know when to stop giving you drinks.

    We鈥檒l have the most exciting cocktail names 

    We鈥檙e 91大神, so we don鈥檛 do basic cocktail names like Margarita, Daiquiri, Tequila Sunrise etc. Expect to hear names like 鈥淕od abeg鈥, 鈥淟agos traffic鈥, 鈥淕en-Z=Best in employees鈥, 鈥淲izkid is more popular than Ronaldo鈥, 鈥淚 don鈥檛 want to be a mechanic鈥…

    We鈥檒l serve you drinks in an entertaining way 

    You know those cool tricks bartenders do, like throwing the bottle up and catching it? We鈥檒l also do something like that, but we鈥檒l dance 鈥淛oha鈥 and 鈥淚jo laba laba鈥 instead, to give you a proper show. If we do bottle-throwing tricks, somebody will get injured and that鈥檚 how the party will end. 

    You鈥檒l also be fed

    We won鈥檛 allow you to drink on an empty stomach. As we give you a drink, we鈥檙e giving you food to go along with it. We pray not to run out of business by giving free food anyhow. 

    Expect to see a lot of purple 

    Your drinks WILL be purple no matter what drink you order. Take it or leave it. Purple glass with a purple straw/tiny umbrella, and it’s not because you’re a pimp named Slickback. 

    Also, expect a lot of Zs 

    Why did ex leave you? Because XYZ. [Omo just take this joke like that.]  This is the type of content to expect in our menu because we鈥檙e funny like that. Also, don鈥檛 be surprised when your ice and cocktail glass are in the shape of a 鈥淶鈥. It鈥檚 giving aesthetics. 

    You鈥檒l definitely have a good time 

    We learnt from the best. Your drinks will be 98% spirit and 2% juice, so you鈥檇 get lit. Only problem is, you may wake up in your ex鈥檚 bed the next day sha. 

    Dorime for everybody

    Everyone gets a Dorime, even if they buy water. As long as you鈥檙e buying from Z Bar, we鈥檒l hype you.

    Our drinks are based on dollar price 

    If the dollar price goes up that minute while you鈥檙e ordering the drink, we鈥檙e changing the price, sorry. What you should pray for is that it goes down. 

    鈥———————————————————————————————————–

    If you鈥檙e looking for cocktails that won鈥檛 be affected by the dollar price, and won鈥檛 leave you with the worst hangover that man has ever experienced, then we鈥檙e not for you. Go for instead. There you鈥檒l experience various cocktails by different mixologists and drink sponsors, and you鈥檒l get to see more than just purple drinks. 

    Be sure to attend the Cocktail Village Pop-up especially. It鈥檚 happening at the Balmoral Convention Center on the 20th and 21st of October 2022. Wristbands to attend cost just 鈧5,000. Z Bar drinks are much more expensive than that. Click to get your tickets.
