agree  emiledgar: Oui, normalement, tipple indique que l'on boit trop, mais, in this case, boire un coup est parfait.

pot


Explanation:
(Comme dans l'expression "boire un pot"). Étant donné le contexte - "bordello-feell [...] tipple and tapas", paraît être la seule solution possible. Bonne chance pour "bordello-feel" :)

À la réflexion, et grâce aux suggestions de Jean-Jacques, "un verre" serait mieux encore (qu'un pot, ou un coup) : étant donné le décor, un coup risquerait d'émoustiller les ricaneurs. Le vin est tiré...

Example sentence(s):
  • tipple n : a serving of drink

neutral  jean-jacques alexandre: bordello feel : son décor de bordel
13 mins
  -> Bravo pour le décor, mais bordel me gêne un peu : décor coquin?
neutral  Nathalie Milliet: Pour le "bordello-feel" que pensez vous de : "une déco intérieure torride" ou "digne d'un hôtel de passes" ...Bon courage :-)

  -> Oui pour torride! Il fallait y penser.
neutral  Frederic Jacquier-Calbet: Pour moi, pot me fait plus penser à une brasserie sympa qu'à un club avec du velour rouge....
