Bars in Glasgow, WTF!
What has happen to our beloved Bars in Glasgow
SO! I have not been to a new good bar in Glasgow for years, I’m getting a bit sick of these twats with no idea about how to make a good drink opening bars just because they think they can.
I was in a bar in Glasgow at the weekend. The bar is called Blue Dog, a few years back when it opened it was the best cocktail bar in town, it was proper, it had a piano man and everything. You only went there for cocktails, that was it. Now as I don’t drink cocktails very often I’d pop in a pop out of the place now and again. I have been three times this year, and every time it got worse. It went from having sharply dressed, well groomed, slightly pretentious (which you didn’t mind because they were the best), knowledgeable and enthusiastic bar staff to…‘mate you look like you’ve down’d a bottle of buckfast and had a scrap with door man, and FFS did you not wash when you left the house??? Oh, and do they only make that shirt in XL? Phone China they might be able to knock you a suitable size; ordering that quantity of material should kick start their economy.’ Not only has the quality in Blue Dog went down but the prices have went up, is it not supposed to be the other way around!?
Blue Dog is just one example of a great place with great bar staff going to F*@K because of some monkey or group of monkeys decided they wanted to own a bar. I can’t wait until this recession really kicks in and buries them all!
At least I have still have Bar 91…
