$27 is just crazy! They also have a bowl on the table you can put them in. His composition, “The Raffles March”, was dedicated to one of the hotel’s founding brothers, Tigran Sarkies.
Why do you have to throw monkey nut shells on the floor? That said, the laws are probably what make Singapore so clean and safe. The shells on the floor remind me of sitting outside at a crab shack in a small beach town. I got up to take a few photos and that’s when I noticed the sign: Quite possible the one place in Singapore where littering is actually encouraged. You don't have to.
Throwing peanut shells on the floor and having a few drinks and some dinner. It’s only at the end of the day when the bar is ready to close that the peanuts shells are finally swept away. It’s an absolute must when your in Singapore! I don't even recall any of the bars having peanuts to consume with beer. With one swoop of his arm he brushed the peanut shells off the table and they fell to the growing pile on the floor. Among them, Time Magazine, BBC, Nine News, Amnesty International. Is it bad if I have one smirnoff or Mike's hard lemonade every night? Was in one of those places and saw a young employee get hurt because of them. In the Raffles Hotel.
So when they swept it up, it kind've waxed/oiled the floor for them. Rudyard Kipling had a thing or two to say about it, Raffles was immortalized in the work of nobel prize winner, Rudyard Kipling. How Georgia’s blue drift changes politics nationwide, Live coverage of 2020 presidential election, 3-way Georgia Senate race heads to runoff election, Ex-Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville wins Senate race, 'Hamilton' star changes lyrics of song for voters, Trump signals he won't try to declare victory prematurely, Battle intensifies over which votes will count, The Obama-Biden economy outperformed Trump's, Celeb forced to quit 'DWTS' gives health update, WH coronavirus adviser warns of new 'deadly phase', Visiting campaign HQ, Trump says ‘losing is never easy’. Raffles recently celebrated 125 years (Photo by Roslan Rahman/AFP/Getty Images). Halifax for Foodies: Where to Eat + What to Eat in Halifax, Nova Scotia! I’ve not done that before but I can sure imagine it.
When she's not writing, interviewing or mom-ing, Molly teaches tarot card classes, gardens, sits in bars drinking Miller products and dreams of being in a punk band again. At that time, the Ground Round was known for playing silent movies, having a mascot named Bingo the Clown, a pay-what-you-weigh night and, of course, the peanut-shelled floors. Yes!
The other is that the Sling is merely an appropriation of the Bronx cocktail, that didn’t contain pineapple juice. Liked all the pictures. As a full time senior writer, editorial manager and self-described experience junkie, Molly has written thousands of articles about Milwaukee (and a few about New Orleans, Detroit, Indianapolis, Boston and various vacation spots in Wisconsin) that range in subject from where to get the best cup of coffee to an in-depth profile on the survivors of the iconic Norman apartment building that burned down in the '90s.

Whatever your belief, many still venture to the Long Bar to sip on a Sling, while throwing peanut shells onto the floor. I’m an Australian-based journalist, editor, and former TV correspondent, whose work has appeared in several local and international titles.
When you walk into the Raffles Long bar you will be crushing peanut shells all over the floor and the staff come through to sweep away thousands. I remember a music/disco bar here in Pittsburgh back in the late '70's that had "free" unshelled roasted peanuts for all customers and had a very copious following (yea, me too <>). Named after the father of modern Singapore, Sir Stamford Raffles, the state’s most cherished hotel has seen many a celebrity, royalty and dignitary grace its hallowed halls. No, throwing peanut shells on the floor isn't much a tradition in that part of Texas. It looks like I have a good reason to come back to Singapore now! What people might not know is that the tiger was the last of its kind ever to be shot in Singapore.
You have taken me on a nostalic trip – many Saturday evenings were spent tossing the peanut shells onto the floor. Think about how much money I saved when I was in Singapore!!
Gussy1dog is correct. It’s tucked away in a little alley opposite 313 Somerset. All of this makes me super glad to be a non-drinker! I scanned the room and noticed that piles of peanut shells were littered around the chairs and the tables at the Long Bar. Used to be a place near Denver called Trail Dust Steakhouse. Anyway ... the Long Bar is closed right now for renovations ... so you'll have to throw your peanut shells elsewhere :-). That was the first drink we had when in Singapore a couple of weeks ago! The tradition was to throw the nuts on the wooden floor to help with clearing the dust. (and it looks delcious too!). Emilia-Romagna for Foodies: 5 Delectable Food Experiences You’ll Want to Try!
