On Sunday evening, I went to Queens LK Metro with a friend. We opened a bottle of Bombay and celebrated with two beautiful girls. So far, so good.
We returned on Monday evening, and the same two girls quickly joined us again. Lady drinks were flowing alongside our gin and tonics. However, I noticed something off with my drink. I made myself a gin and tonic, but it still didn't taste right. That's when I became suspicious.
I smelled the bottle, and it had a strange scent. I took a sip straight from the bottle, and it tasted much too soft and watery, lacking the normal biting sharpness of Bombay gin.
I paid the bill and went to a nearby bar to compare their Bombay. Six people present, including the bartender, each said the gin at Queens LK Metro was diluted by 30-50%.
I went back to the bar and confronted them, as this is apparently an old scam. The excuse was ready: "Alcohol evaporates, so now it tastes not strong. What do you want? You drunk, go away."
Beware of scams like this. Cheers.
