Big City Girl Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I like the word Emporium, I'll probably go just because of that. Don't like gin though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're serving up sloe gin & such like it sounds like something different, fair play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I presume it's 'Hogarth's' after William Hogarth... (all the BBC Four is finally sinking in, thanks to Andrew Graham Dixon, whom I used to think was a grade A twat). A section of Gin Lane by the artist, the babbeh has fell from the mam's arms, but she's had a ha'penny of mothers' ruin and dunt give a fack...

Moderators Carlos Posted October 21, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 21, 2014 The Varsity was successful, for a pub tucked away out of the centre. Went in the Capitol once, Hawaiian bar, shit DJ, 4 people in... Good luck, they'll need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, they'll need it. maybe tucked away is a good thing. Have you seen the state of deansgate? Unless it's changed dramatically it was grim as fuck last time I went & that's got to be 12 months ago. 3 crowns, cider house, BL1 were alright, further up though, fuck me!

Moderators Carlos Posted October 21, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 21, 2014 Couple of months since I ventured out, if you are naming BL1 as one of the better bars then we are fucked. Stinks of piss, full of peasants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) People with expendable cash generally don't want to sit supping with kids and (down-at-heel) pisscans - so they start to give town a swerve... The pubs look after their regular custom (kids and pisscans) and so the downward spiral continues... They can stick all these gimmicks up their arse tbh, what the fuck does gin have to do with Bolton anyway?

See the gin lane image and swop the victorian piss cans for heroin addicts and roma benefits peasants and you have the modern view of Bolton town centre life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinks of piss, full of peasants. last time I don't recall it being too bad (compared to some of the dives) but I'd imagine if they've done fuck all to it in 12 months it could now be pretty grim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) If they want a bar to do well, kit it out nice and easily cleanable - bare wood and brick and parquet floor, keep the bogs nice and clean and replace anything broke as soon as it gets broke - minimal piss smell a bonus, keep prices reasonable and tell smelly fuckers to sling their hook... Let staff wear their own clothes and if they're easy on the eye, then so be it... Don't serve shite kids' drinks like alcopops or sambucca or whatever they sup these days...Hopefully they won't darken the door either. Get either a jukebox with good stuff on, or no music or tellies - unless it's World Cup or Euros.

Youri McAnespie Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 No shite gimmicks, if they have to decorate it with tat, use stuff that actually has some meaning in relation to the town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
