Blue Diamond

So I've decided to get into blogging again and today's post is going to be about a nice exotic bar I went to yesterday. The bar was called Blue Diamond and was located on the 15th level of Queen street.


Level 15, 123 Queens Street, Melbourne



The view from the balcony was absolutely amazing! Unfortunately I didn't get to take as many photos as I wanted! Reason being - I wasn't with my usual photo taking friends! haha. I tend to adapt depending on the people I'm with. Yesterday was a catch-up with my workmates from Holden. Although they already know I love taking photos, I couldn't bring myself to go crazy! haha. So I shall make an attempt to return to Blue Diamond for photo taking purposes =P. Drinks were pretty reasonable in price, although I didn't pay for many of mine!


It was great seeing everyone again and It made me miss the good days when I was at Holden. I am glad that these friendships have continued despite me finishing my intern and now working at a place called Healthscope.

Apparently it is $5 for entry into Blue Diamond and you need to make a booking (with a list of all your guests) before entering into the uper-class bar, the reason why I used the word "apparently" is because I was not on the list nor did I pay the $5 dollars entry fee. haha. My appearance was more of a surprise as I was told that one of my workmates were leaving and joining HP in a new role as a project manager. Taking this opportunity to catch up with everyone, I rocked up..(looking lost as usual) and was guided towards the table where everyone was chatting away and sipping on champagne, nibbling on snacks. Realizing half way through the night that everyone else had paid the $5 and realizng I was not on the "guestlist", it surprised everyone else too! haha. I had a few Lemon Lime Vodkas. The first one I had was the best lemon lime vodka I have ever tasted! I couldnt put my glass down! Usually at other bars, they always put too much vodka, or its not sweet enough. But the one I had yesterday had the right proportion of every element -no joke! It didn'teven taste like an alcoholic drink but it definitely hit the spot! I am wondering if its because they squeezed the lemon and line into a glass, poured the vodka shot and left it there for about half a minute before pouring in the lemonade? Either way it was absolutely delicious!
