Cocktails, the libationary art!
A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.
If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.
Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.
Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:
Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.
A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.
On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.

We've got several restaurants (Spanish tapas bar/restaurant, a Greek place and an Italian place with a beer garden). Don't know of any dedicated bars, but it's kind of suburban here. I only go there a couple of times a year, though; I don't go out much in general.
But this isn't the US, so there's decent options a short bus or bicycle ride away. Is "30 min. by foot" a "walking distance"?
If you are happy to walk it on foot, yes. I consider my work in easy walking distance at 2.5km, commuting by walk is reasonably pleasant unless it's really hot or raining.
Personally my walking distance different in different directions though because to the north there is a street too big to cross comfortably at any time of day and to the south it gets a little rough at night but east and west I will go farther.
