It is a just a far less busy , comfortable space with pretty much zero queues and a relaxed pre-match atmosphere . I was in the Skyline Lounge Bar later on that evening and it is far more hospitality like and decorated far nicer . Personally I do not like 1874 . Cramped , slow service , impatient bar squeezers …… dark and a bit tatty . Much prefer this pre and post match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much prefer this pre and post match I don't think it looks downmarket or anything, looks finished to a good standard...I just half expect someone to be resting their pint on on a photocopier and an announcement not to leave your luggage unattended over the tannoy. If it's relaxing with good service, how it looks doesn't matter. I'm sure I'd really enjoy it too. Decor is all in the eyes of the beholder, it just doesn't do it for me.

Taffin Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Just now, Pete Elliott said: It’s not a full time fans’ bar though so the decor has to be suitable for other types of events and functions. Absolutely true but regardless of the event, it is pretty bland. Even regular modern offices have moved on a bit from that these days. Again, in my eyes only... I appreciate some will like it. It's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mscjambo Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 The business model now at Hearts is fantastic. The multiple revenue streams from the hospitality to the hotel can only help the business grow. Add to that the European money we have a massive chance here. The complaint always was off the park we were great, but on the park we were inconsistent. If we can get both things working in tandem we have a chance to open a gap between us and thr rest. Hibs got £6 million in investment we are making that in one European campaign. Add to that FOH cash and these ever increasing revenue streams, its a fabulous position to be in . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Hibs get £6m investment? I assumed that went into the Gordon family pockets. Was it not used to buy shares from them? To stay on topic, quiet, comfy and quick service appeals to me.

I always though it would be great to put a German style bier keller in place in the undercroft when the plans were to move the temporary office space back into the new stand, but those plans were changed when the club realised there was nothing wrong with the temp office space and better use could be made of the huge space we'd still have in the main stand.

Taffin Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) I revoke my views on this. Realised I was walking along the very corridor in the pictures whilst at the hotel and given it's an existing space that needs to work with that it makes a lot more sense. An 1874 bar or Strongbow lounge style wouldn't work there. Edited February 24 by Taffin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 After visiting the PR bar it will bring in some decent funds at very little expense to the club. They need to sort out the seating though as they have plenty chairs which folk were putting around standing height tables. Literally reaching up to get their drinks. Some music or commentary from the Sport on TVs would help too. They also seemed to have some teething issues with the beer kegs but overall pretty decent. Barely ever a queue. Never tried the food but the free pies at half time were lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However apparently there is a Hearts fan that constantly emails the club with fotos of queues for the ladies toilets. So Hearts are toying with the idea of making it a female toilet.
