The Bhutanese are generally very liberal consumers of alcohol. Small wonder then that alcohol is cheap and readily available in the innumerable bars of the town. One can choose from a range of Bhutanese brands of whiskeys, rums, brandies, gins, and a peculiar green concoction called sonfy which one would be wise to avoid. Two whiskey brands, Special Courier, and CSJ, made with Scottish malt,are actually quite pleasant.More internationally recognised brands of alcohol are also available at some of the more reputed watering holes such as the bars at Hotel Kuenga and at Hotel Druk-Bhutan, located in Dhamidhara, half a mile away from the din of the maintown market.
