点评:Dropped by the Wheaty after not visiting for quite some time because it felt well, kind of pretentious last time I visited. This venue used to be an affordable relatable alternative suburban pub. I am more than happy to pay a premium price for a drink if the venue gives you a premium experience, this place is not one of those. So many beers to choose, yet none of them taste like beer. I ordered a Japanese beer, I like Japanese beer. This tasted like watery cat's urine I couldn't drink it, so disappointing. This reminded me as to why I hadn't visited for so long. They used to have a good range of affordable spirits. Now you are looking at paying $35 upwards for a shot of scotch. This is this a pub charging resturant prices without the restaurant perks. My friend requested a spirit they didnt stock, he was told in a rather distainful mannner that they dont serve it becase they are a "Specialist" pub. It appears their specialty is selling a multitude of mediocre forgettable microbrewery beers that wont be around in 10 years and over priced spirits. Despite really liking this place in the past I won't be going back. There are far better real pubs that remember what real pubs are about. This place has just become pretentious and greedy. If I want to pay a premium for a drink I go to a premium venue, not some pub that was renovated over 20 years ago. Fortunately many Adelaide venues have changed for the better, unlike the Wheatsheaf.
翻译:好久没去Wheaty了,上次去感觉有点装腔作势,所以这次又去了一趟。这家店以前是那种价格亲民、氛围轻松的郊区酒吧。如果酒吧能提供优质的体验,我很乐意为一杯酒支付更高的价格,但这家店显然不是。啤酒种类繁多,却没有一种像啤酒。我点了一杯日本啤酒,因为我喜欢日本啤酒。结果这啤酒喝起来像稀释的猫尿,根本喝不下去,太失望了。这让我终于明白为什么我这么久没去了。他们以前有很多价格实惠的烈酒。现在一杯苏格兰威士忌就要35美元以上。这简直就是一家酒吧,却要价和餐厅一样,服务却没有餐厅应有的待遇。我的朋友想点一种他们没有的烈酒,服务员很不屑地告诉他,因为他们是“特色”酒吧,所以不提供这种酒。看来他们的特色就是卖一堆平庸乏味、十年内就会消失的精酿啤酒和价格虚高的烈酒。虽然我以前很喜欢这家店,但我不会再去了。有很多更好的、真正意义上的酒吧,它们还记得酒吧的精髓所在。这家店现在变得矫揉造作、贪得无厌。如果我想花高价喝一杯,我会去高档场所,而不是去一家二十多年前翻新过的酒吧。幸运的是,阿德莱德很多酒吧都变得更好了,不像这家Wheatsheaf。
