New boozer down town replacing O'Neils / Reflex

[stfctownenda]

Not sure it has been mentioned but there is a new boozer opening down town where O'Neils and Reflex used to be, it's going to be Bushwackers downstairs which will be food/daytime pub and Sin upstairs which will be a club.

They already have similar set ups in Birmingham and Worcester and say there aiming for upmarket clientelle, young professionals and people who like drinking in old town.

The names Bushwacker and Sin don't imply they're aimed an upmarket clientelle though do they? Also can't see the Old Towners getting out of their comfort zone and going to that neck of the woods.

I like going to these sort of places knowing i am not welcome.Its good to get wrecked and mock the snotty twats

[Peter Venkman]

Isn't bushwa(h)cking a euphemism for hard fucking?? not very upper class in my mind!

[stfctownenda]

Be interesting really trying to aim for that kind of clientelle in chav central, I prefer Old Town these days but will probably go down town and see if this place is any good.

Suppose a big plus point is its nice to see something new opening down there as loads of places have closed down there in the past few months.

We tried to get an up market place in bottom of town "the glasshouse" it bombed. maybe it was to do with drinks or the fact itw as the bedroom , in any case it bombed, Rush tried to do the same to varying degrees of success so i would be cautious with this place. Right venue, wrong part of town IMO, It should be competing wtih the Old Bank, Spot, McKenzies etc. He has said that is their niche market. If he thinks the crowd from old town are going to go to chav central (bottom of town) then he is a bit deluded. i give the place 2 years before going busy, only on the basis that the food part may do ok with local businesses in the area.

Upmarket..... with an offer of 2 hours worth of drinks for £12.95!!! Only Beer and house wine though. I'm sure that would lower the tone.

Saw this in the paper yesterday.Think they are being a bit picky.It is the bottom of town after all,its a bit smelly

Difficult to see the Old Town crowd wanting to venture in to the war zone.

I wish the Glasshouse got bombed.

The reason it failed is because you still let the same people in you did before.

In the end because it was business..... before we only let certain people in there but palyed the wrong music, it look like it was always shut it was just a very poor layout but..... too alte now, it now sits there paying loads of rent for a derelict building.

Haha that was sound advice as well, glasshouse were very foolish they ended up lowering there prices to £1 a drink and it attracted a worse clientelle than the Wetherspoons.
