If you're looking for an alternative design, we went to a bar in Amsterdam not too long ago where there was no actual bar. The punters came in and took their seats and the barman came and took orders which were dispensed from room at the end of the pub. Wasn't much bigger than the Bag, and was a wooden floored & panelled room. Very atmospheric.<br /><br />Look forward to seeing you open.<br /><br />Cheers from the Boys at Spark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412043081616722924.post-42167148870771496622011-10-10T10:16:08.807+01:002011-10-10T10:16:08.807+01:00Hi, I haven't been to Bristol for a couple of ...Hi, I haven't been to Bristol for a couple of years, and really wanted to update my website www.beer-meister.co.uk and include some stuff on the Bag O'Nails as I really liked it on my last visit (fitted in with my idea of a pub re ale 'basic' etc., but saw this blog and guessing the pub isn't open at the moment?<br />I'm happy to include something to that effect on my Bristol page, and will keep in touch regarding progress. If you haven't seen my website, it's aimed at people who are visiting a strange place and like real ale (started with football, but too retsrictive, and some plonkers always get disappointed with my choice, so I point that out on my site).<br />Anyway, let me know, you can email me at steve@beer-meister.co.uk too.<br />Cheers!Steve Colwellhttp://thebeer-meister.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412043081616722924.post-42214666078481583332011-09-21T11:03:51.375+01:002011-09-21T11:03:51.375+01:00Bill, I would say that calling them nice is going ...Bill, I would say that calling them nice is going too far, but they certainly are tiles. I am in no hurry to get rid of them, but the wood that they are stuck to is just rubbish, thin hardboard, painted black.Saga Of Nailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891668833405154713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412043081616722924.post-35181675078980576402011-09-20T21:14:06.509+01:002011-09-20T21:14:06.509+01:00Didn't there used to be some nice tiles behind...Didn't there used to be some nice tiles behind the bar? Of course the old landlord may have ripped them off or my memory is playing tricks on me (won't be the first time)<br />Agree rest of back bar a bit naff. There are some good reclamation places in Bristol who might have something suitable.Billnoreply@blogger.com
