I never realised how cheap steak is in Australia. In the UK you had to sell a kidney to get a steak and it's not that far off in the states. At a steakhouse if you pay Aus$25 for a steak you are getting a fucking good cut and a good size portion!

Beer sounds reasonable   I will not drink light beer though, even if they do spell it LITE

you can find cheap steacks here but there just that , the big thing in Vegas is AGED ANGUS Beef , Well I raise angus cattle and hell I cant telll the difference ..LOL

The sad part on the beer say like Budweiser , $4.00 a bottle at a tavern and buy a twelve pack at the store for $8.00 .

Steak in Canada is pretty reasonable, similar to Australia it seems, but again, it all depends on where you go. You can get a good steak for 20 bucks and you can get lousy steak for 40 and vice versa.

But when you go to Vegas, go to the Ellis Island Casino. It's a couple blocks off the Strip. It's just a hole in the wall place. Restaurant/pub and a casino. But if you want a good cheap meal, this is your ticket. Order the steak special, it's not on the menu so you have to request it from your server. For $4.95 you get an awesome New York Strip steak, potato, salad and vegetable. It's not the absolute best steak I've ever had but it was pretty high up on the list. Not what you'd expect for 5 bucks. Our server said he ate there all the time cuz he couldn't even buy a steak at a gorocery store for that price.
My wife and I each got a steak dinner and a couple beers each and our bill was 15 bucks. Not bad.

yeah but no matter what the price, it's still Budweiser

your right that casino is cheap food , only ate there once ..and it didnt give me gas , so it was worth the $5.00


Yeah Im not a bud drinker , as it gives me a headache . but it was a prop for the pricing ..

[Gnappster]

I make my own for even cheaper, but it's a lot more work. Thankfully I can get drunk in the process.

gnappster you would fit in over here if you brew your own
we finally got a hooters around the corner i went there for mothers day lol
we have had a hard rock for years in surfers paradise,good steak on the gold coast there are a few place but they are little and not well known but good value nightclub beer and spirits are overpriced, thats why you have family and friends that own pubs

There's another hooters up there a few blocks south of Cavill Avenue but it's a strip joint.... or so someone told me!

Surfers is a little different to the rest of Australia. Similar to Bondi in the way that it's heavily geared toward the tourist market, so they jack up the price on everything!

And you aren't kidding about the drink prices at nightclubs! Shooters was probably the worst. Melba's was ok as they had lot's of happy hours and The Shack was good one night when I went. They had a ladies night where the girls got one free drink every 30 mins. My wife doesn't really drink so she just kept going up to the bar to get the drinks and passed them to me

Yeah it's a good establishment... and I have wiped that night from my memory

Are those beers American AND full strength?

[ddd35]

Michelobe I believe is full strength , Amber bock is a dark beer drank mostly by the preppies , its not a lite beer but I dont know the content .. Busch is a beer that i can drink alot of and it doesnt fill me up .thats my reason for drinking it and its fairly cheap .

[Gnappster]

I like Miller Genuine Draft (MGD). I think it's 4.9% or something, so it's not full strength but it's not really lite either.
But living in Canada it's not like I've tried every yankee beer on the market.

I'm not a fan of MGD. It takes like burning to me. As sad as it sounds, I prefer Bud Light to Miller Lite to lots of other stuff, to MGD.

My beer of choice for the summer so far is Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) . It's actually pretty tastey for a shitty beer. and because it's not so popular, it's usually the coldest beer in the bar

its also cheap at the store so it's a good party beer. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's the comeback beer of 2007

Pabst Blue Ribbon? My English is not good, but I have to tell you, that beer is like swill to me. Do I have that right? I am saying that only a swine would drink that beer.

But I must confess, on a hot summer day, I can down a case of Miller High Life pretty easy. It's a cheap, shitty beer, but I kinda like it. It's my guilty pleasure.

haha. Spotted and well played.

And I belive only a true alcoholic can enjoy the finer things in life like cheap shitty beer. or is it the economical sense of shitty beer. or is it that if I learn to enjoy shitty beer, moderate tasting beer tastes like expensive beer.

well hwatever.

All I know is that 8 beers makes an ugly girl cute. I can get there with good tasting beer for $32, or I can get the same buzz for $14 still hvae $18 left over to feed the parking meter while I"m banging the broad in the back of my car. And then still have enough money to give her a quarter to call a cab.. and then still have enough money to buy go for breakfast with my wife. (it takes only 6 beers to forget I'm married)

So I'll remember to send you money for a couple of cases of beer before I head out to your neck of the woods

I like it too. WHen it comes to Yankee beers we really only get MGD or Bud, which is imo the worst beer ever produced anywhere world wide!

Jesus you guys are really clouding up the waters, although I have been entertained with your simpsons references.

For thos of you with my myspace I just got a whole bunch of new pics from my trip and I'm gonna post them. I'll include this pic with a cricle around me

that's crazy talk. I don't need to drink to make you cute, you're totally already there.



oh, wait a minute. I bet the beer is for you to drink.

You've never had Schlitz, which is another great cheap shitty beer, that's always freezing cold if a bar is so awful as to even carry it.

Jesus you guys are really clouding up the waters

Is that frowned upon in this office? cuz had I know idea.

although I have been entertained with your simpsons references.

If it weren't for the simpsons, I'd have no jokes.

"Ahhh Barney's already sucked it dry Homer. Cut his gums up pretty bad"

that one made me laugh so hard I almost choked on my water that I just sipped.

[bondiguy]

I ain't no scotsman you guff speaking work slacker!

Nope, we don't import much beer from the states, it seems to be an acquired taste.
