Kitsch Bar

We farmed the kids out to their lovely Auntie, and headed to Kitsch Bar in Leederville for a meal. Great atmosphere, it feels like you are in Asia (especially with Perth's sultry climate right now). The swinging chair Cherie and I both had a turn in was fun, and the odd frangipani blossom dropping from gnarled branches overhead added to the experience. The food was delish, and 'small plate' style, but Baz raised the query as to how a few beers can cost more than a well prepared and flavored meal? And I mean 8 beers between 3 of us over a few hours.... Your thoughts? Is beer marked up higher percentage profit than wine?
