LUX - Alfresco Bar

Didn't actually dine here bc I was told that the burpple beyond deal was not available because "that deal was from a long long time ago", and that "we've been trying to contact burpple about this". Although Burrple states that this deal is until 30 Sep 2020.

Either burpple hasn't checked up on this merchant, or they're not holding up on their end of the contract.

Anyway, the waiter who told us this was very polite and apologetic about it, and even helped us check with management twice about it. I know it's not the waiter's fault, but management has really got to get their *stuff* together when they're putting out blatantly false advertisements to beguile patrons to their uninhabited bar.

For Burpple Beyond 1-for-1, we were only allowed to get the cocktails from the menu, but it was still super worth it. I got the LUX Old Fashioned, which has bourbon, agave nectar, and angostura butters. It was quite strong and I liked that they didn’t dilute the bourbon at all, and the hint of the nectar adds a sweetness to each sip.

Fried Chicken Wings ($12)
.
Lipsmacking chicken wings coated with a mildly spicy korean sweet and savoury red pepper sauce from @lux_alfrescobar which is located right outside Nox, dine in the dark. Just a tad on the pricey side for 5 pieces but made more affordable because of #burpplebeyond! The Mountains of Taiwan cocktail I tried was pretty interesting and tasted great too.

These were nice little bites to go along with the drinks, served with a house made goma sauce. The beef itself had that wagyu bite to it but wasn’t as juicy as I hoped it’d be. Still pretty tasty and the fries served with it were pretty good.

Get their fried chicken though, that was yummeh! We got both thanks to Burpple Beyond’s 1-for-1!

Using the space outside of NOX, LUX has drink options and tasty bar bites if you’re not too fussy about sitting outside.

Really enjoyed this cocktail using gin-infused green tea, Maraschino liqueur, dry vermouth and tonic water. It was surprisingly ‘juicy’ and refreshing, yet you could identify the traces of green tea flavours. Not super strong, but perfect with their fried chicken.

You can also get either their bar bites or cocktails at 1-for-1 with Burpple Beyond! ✌️
