I don't think the open 'industrial' ceiling helps TBH, however I agree a bit of decoration and more memorabilia will improve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highlandjambo3 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 To clarify, is the fans bar on the ground floor and, is the strongbow lounge on the first floor? I have hospitality in the strongbow lounge on Saturday and don’t want to get it wrong mixing with the rif raf ?....... only joshing.

Beast Boy Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I really like the fans’ bar. It’s great that the money goes direct to the club. If I feel like a different atmosphere, I’ll go to one of the local pubs. I also really like the exposed pipes and vents etc. These hung ceilings with tegged tiles look utterly shit. Like hospitals or schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone else said earlier, it’s 140/50 people at a time. My seat is high up in R, and it takes me ages to get out. I get there with a queue of about four people in front of me normally. Usually only takes about ten minutes to get in. I refuse to leave early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 140/50 allowed in at a time though. I sit in R which is really close to it, but I leave at the final whistle and usually have a three or four person queue to wait in. That doesn’t take long though. Service at bar has always been really quick too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main deciding factor becomes cost. Why pay £6 in town, for example, when you can buy it locally for just over a £1 and it creates the same end result but at a lower overall cost. Anyway, to the point, I'm guessing that this new bar will sink or swim based on the brands of beer/lager on offer. More so as if most of the people who tend to hang about after games drinking in Gorgie do try this bar and aren't taken by the liquid on offer they can then head for their regular haunts. Some sense in what your saying regarding nips, but a pint varies less in price. And a £3.50 circa pint should suit most folk. Say tenents *or a few Bob extra kronenberg etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Boy Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 It’s reasonably priced atm. Sub £4.00 for a pint of Birra Moretti is cheaper than most pubs in the area, for a good quality beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am sure visitors to the museum, plot ceremonies, a war of 2 half’s ect would frequent this place. p.s.
