The bars of San Antonio

        san antonio riverwalk2.jpgThe ICIS technical crew has been building all day Saturday - they are the advance guard moving into a city ahead of a petchem conference and turning an unpromising empty room into a wonderland of ICIS technology.

 

They know the petchem cities of the world like the backs of their hands: Monaco, Berlin, Vienna, Houston, Singapore and San Antonio.

 

So as we arrive in San Antonio for NPRA 2009, they share their tips about the nightlife on the Riverwalk ...

 

MadDogs

The techie favourite and the evening's starting point. It's got a Scottish theme, mini-kilts, loud music, karaoke and dancing.

 

Coyote Ugly

Bit more of a wild one. Staff and punters dancing on the bar. Always has hen parties with Texan girls keen to practise their English on visiting Brits. Don't ask for the water, cos you'll be wearing it (as per the film.)

 

Swig

Martini and very good cigar bar. All right if you like that kind of thing.

 

Bar Sirius

A serious shots menu on the wall. A bit heavy, and if you're from out of town you'll be the focus of everyone's attention.

 

PS Just to be clear about this link to "the film". It is to the film "Coyote Ugly." It is NOT a video of anyone we know dancing on the bar, as suggested to me by some German friends on the way in to the Mitsubishi party. They said they had been looking forward to getting home to a faster internet connection so that they could see the dancing!
