  Housepours = the liquor that avail in the club as basic/standard spirits.
  e.g when you get a club entry ticket with a entitlement of one drink. You are going to use the coupon and order a drink.
  You want to order a Belvedere vodka cranberry, the bartender will tell you that that they use Absolut Blue.
  
  - Absolut Blue is their vodka housepour for all coupon or standard drink.
  Other than Absolut Blue is considered premium spirits which is additional of $2 or more.
  
  Housepour has six kind of liquor.
  
  -Tequila
  -Vodka
  -Bourbon
  -Whiskey
  -Cognac/Brandy
  -Gin
  
  Mixers are
  
  - Juices
  - Carbonated drinks
  
  Housepour mix is considered only one spirit(housepour) and one mixer to form a drink.
  e.g Vodka Redbull, Tequila Orange, Brandy Dry(Ginger Ale), Whiskey Coke, Gin Tonic, Bourbon Coke.
  
  Or Housepour neat. (You should know what this is.)
  
  Cocktails consist of more than two liquid in a drink.
  One spirit and two juices
  Or Two spirit and two juices and more.
  e.g Around the world, Long Island Iced Tea, Mai Tai, Hawaiian Blue, Blue Lagoon, Grasshopper, Lychee Martini, Cosmopolitian, Metropolis, Manhattan, Margarita, Pina Colada...etc.
  
  Shot could be one spirit
  or Shot cocktail.
  
  Cheers

  Wow thanks a lot that's, very informative. I'm sure it'll help many others newbies like me.
  
  A few more questions.
  
  For those club entry entitlement, is it i can only order housepour mix(1 mixer). or can i order cocktails with the entry entitlement? How about places with freeflow housepour? can only order mix like vodka redbull? sekali i order cocktail must pay extra and malu myself.
  
  I know what's neat, but housepour neat? means i can order any liquor neat for my entitled drink?
  
  Thanks!

  Useless post. I may be young but i'm of legal age and i don't see anything wrong with knowing more about clubbing culture. Take your conservative views back to afghan.

  As far as i understand. All clubs will provide one entitlement to housepour mix or Housepour neat ONLY. Cocktails are not considered standard drinks. Cocktails requires more spirits to mix the drink hence will be charged even if you try to use the coupon.
  Yes you will malu yourself if you ask for a cocktail and give them your coupon, they will give you a no no look.
  
  Housepour neat = standard spirit without ice or mixes.
  You can ONLY order housepour thru your entitled drink.
  
  Cheers

  by the way, if u're like a total noob who knows nothing about pubs, what do u do?
  go there with experienced friends? but if they're like all experts and know their way around the pub etc., won't you feel kinda bad and very embarrased?
  
  thanks,

  I guess it'll be better if he joins a group of friends whos familiar with the club.
  They can guide him and take care of him.
