A GROUP of work colleagues have been assured by a co-worker that they can continue their drinking at a great bar situated a mere 45 minute walk away.
The group, who had ordered a final round at their local, were ready to go home before Stephen Malley, who is line manager to most of the group, suggested continuing at an alternative venue he knew.
He said: “You can’t end a night like this early, not when we’re less than an hour’s walk away from an insane jazz-EDM bar that this ex-bodybuilder runs out of a narrowboat.
“It just opened. It’s by the old propane warehouse off Mitchell Road and it serves until at least 5am, because it’s illegal.
“They only have beer-based cocktails and skimmed milk, but the women there are crazy hot, like unreal. And last time a guy who was on Take Me Out in 2015 turned up. It was f**king insane.”
The group agreed to follow Malley to the bar for a final drink, but after 45 minutes had still not found the location and were a further 45 minutes from home while beginning to feel hungover.
Admin assistant Charlotte Phelps said: “It was another half-hour, in the rain, before he said ‘Maybe they’ve docked somewhere else.’ Which I guess could happen to a bar on a narrowboat but seems unlikely.
“To this day I have no idea whether this place is real or something he dreamt about, but in any case, we ended up sitting on a bench before taking multiple expensive taxis home.”
Malley said: “Don’t worry, I’ve charged mine to expenses.”
