JJAuckland Posted August 6, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi I have been having a look at a few POA "dailies" & they mention well drinks. Can someone please let me know what a well drink is? I am guessing at $3.95 a pop it isnt water :D thanks Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amor1964 Posted August 6, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2012 A well drink would be the opposite of a call drink. Example: to order a scotch and water at the bar would be a well drink. To order a Johnny Walker (scotch) and water would be a call drink. Well drinks use bar brand liquors. Call drinks use top shelf stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie2pies Posted August 6, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Often, the server will say "is Dewars ok?" In this case it becomes a call drink and you'll pay more, both for the drink and the 15% which is added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a respectable brand, and even with the 15% was only $6.95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way to tell the difference between the two is that the "well" drinks come from the rack in front and below the bar tender that is called a "well". A "call" drink is one that you say the name or "call" the brand of the booze you want. That, of course, is a rumor as I spend little time in bars :rolleyes:. You may ask what their well liquors are and if it's acceptable to you, order them a save a few bucks. As a PP mentioned, they don't serve the mega cheap s*** that you may find in some local bars.
