Scrollbar hosts the official weekly Fredagbar (Friday Bar) of IT University of Copenhagen. A number of us study games in the "Media, Technology, and Games" Masters program. In November, we made a Final Fantasy Night, so the next step was of course to take the famous video game franchise, which in our opinion is Valve's Portal game. So this 28th of November we hosted a Portal Bar. We made a lot of companion cubes, took pictures around the bar, went through photoshop and printed out some nice portals to put on the walls around the bar area.

We pooled our vast knowledge of mixing and alcohols (this is Denmark, after all) to craft six unique Portalbar-theme drinks/shooters.

The most popular ones were Sentry Gun and the Teleportation shots. But all our recipes were very well-received. We encourage you to give them a try - but please credit us if you do!

(Note: "cl" stands for centiliter. Two cl approximately equals one "shot")

The Drink is a Lie

????????

Chilled Martini Glass

Garnish:
As Much as possible

• Cheap beer

Directions:
Start getting a Martini glass. Put some Fancy garnish on it. Get a cheap beer from the fridge. Pour it into the fancy-made glass while the customer sees it and serve. Tell the Costumer that of course there is beer in it, as the drink was a lie.

Notes:
Had some good fun with the costumers :) The Credit for that drinks goes to a friend of the bar: Douglas E. Wilson. Thanks for the idea ;).

Decorations

Here are some pictures from the night in the bar. To top off the night, one of the bartender's girlfriend's (Thanks again Benedicte) made a companion cube cake. So this time the cake was not a lie :).

Printed menus were placed on tables throughout Scrollbar so that patrons knew what special drinks were available.

Finally, we showed Portal clips from the games on the projector.

"Another success!"
