Hey all you waiters! I'm expecting quite a few guests in the near future, so muck out this place pronto and prepare for a lot of eating, drinking, cavorting and merrymaking.
Maestro, let's have some music!

Ah! This looks like the place for a drink. A large pinkers please, and stop looking at me like that!
Having a good time, are you? You've got the place all to yourself I see - but that should change soon. So enjoy the peace and quite while it lasts 
What's a large pinkers then?  Something I might enjoy you think?

It's a couple of drops of aromatic bitters, swirled round in a glass, then poured out (leaving only a trace). Then pour as much neat gin as you fancy into the glass. The bitters give the gin an interesting taste, and a pink colour .... Here, try one <shouldbepink>  Hehehe!
*downs <shouldbepink> * Hm, interesting. Now try this: *pours a  and adds a double gin *

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to investigate the Bösendorfer grand over by the stage ....
*Inspects. Yes ... it's the 9' model, with the extra keys in the bass ... walnut casing, heavy duty pins ...and ...(trying a few chords) nearly in tune*
I'll give it a try ... work my way up to some Louis stuff...
*Improvises a blues ....*
Let's try "Basin Street Blues", shall we? I'll try to sing it the way Dr. John does it

Gentlemen, if you come back from that dreamland would you tell me then, please, where on earth is this cabin boy? I'd like to have some Pina Colada with a lot of Captain Morgan. 
~Walks in with two heavy looking record bags, and walks to the DJ-corner, where the turntables are, ready to play some music when the band stops playing~
*The music stops and the captain summons assorted cabin boys*
Take you pick, Gwennie! I'll have a Captain Morgans on the rocks while I listen to what Kheldar has to offer

It's your call captain...we're going to dance, or do you prefer easy listening, or maybe a combination of both?

I wonder if this is a self-service place. But I have seen cabin boys here.
