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.
The Glasshouse failed cos it was a fucking shit heap! |

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.
We had to in the end. as literally it was doing worse than it was the Bedroom so just trying to get ANYONE in there... End of the day now its free to anyone, there is no cost to take it over, just the massive rent etc we are paying, its cheaper to keep it boarded up than run it. |

What's that?
http://kcclub.co.uk/I've played there a few times, but the blokes that play there love, and i mean LOVE, to gamble. They gamble at the games, between each other, what's on the box... As a poker player and not a gambler, watching someone rebuy on a £10 re buy tournament 17 times in less than a hour is shocking. Seeing people shouting odds between each other for who scores next on in the footy game showing on the tv is amusing though. I've only played there about 5 times, but got pissed off with their buyins. They used to have rates of say £25 + £5. The £5 going into a pot for an end of year tournament, which only the regulars played enough to get into. I didn't like that. Especially when playing at Gala in Bristol was cheaper, you got dealers and a nice big spread of players of differing ability. |

Cash games available during opening hours with the following stakes :
25p / 25p - Min buy in £5 Max Buy in £25
25p / 50p - Min buy in £5 Max Buy in £50
50p / £1 - Min buy in £40 Max buy in £100
£1 / £2 - Min buy in £100 Max buy in £300 Anyone know if these cash games run much? I'd guess the standard is pretty low so I might have to try them out. |

Still a good laugh though whipping some of the Pricks in glasses who think they are pro's. Beers Reasonable, £20 torney friday nights is ok. |

The glasshouse was the Bedroom with a different name and was pretty grotty.
Went to bottom of town for first time in probably well over a year the other Saturday and was absolutely horrific. I'd rather spend a fiver plus on a glass of wine, drink less and go to old town as usual.

They've ran everytime i've been there. As players get knocked out of the tourneys, they start cranking them out at what ever stakes everyone fancies. The standard is quite high and not bad for a TA player, because most of them are closer to Gus Hansen than Dan Harrington. A mate went once, and walked out £800 up, although that was from winning the Tournament with their old bounty format (which placed a massive sum on someone's head, by name out of a hat, and if that person wins, they win the bounty sum). He never went back. - He's very aggressive and pretty loose by the way. |
