Bodega .... Bamboo...Toy .... f**k knows how many in Tree Town ... But I doubt it will affect the noisy fucker on Excyte owned by the police ...

Yesitisdakid Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 3 hours ago, forcebwithu said: With Barbie Bar I thought it was more a case of the owner being too quick to push the boundary of operating hours. They had been cited, along with Witherspoon and Nikom for violating the opening hours restrictions, but while the other two toed the line Barbie Bar a week or two later tried once again to stay open late. That resulted in the five year ban on the location operating as a bar. Yes that's true he continued to stay open later despite being warned and not to but there are bars all over this town that were open after hours that were ignored nothing was done about them. This was a personal Vendetta or a lack of donation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 10 hours ago, forcebwithu said: Triangle Bar does seem to get picked on. During the pandemic I seem to recall they had more restrictions placed on them than other places. I noticed that as well. It did seem a bit draconian in comparison to other bars. Wasn't there a faff with the license as well when the guy too k it over?. It's a bloody shame because I've always liked the Triangle. As I understand it, the guy in the video is the new owner and took a fairly big risk with his savings to open it up post covid. (Might be wrong on that though - I just seem to vaguely recall a vloggers video about it). I make a point of going there for a few beers every trip, great atmosphere , great crowd of blokes and always had a really relaxed time with no issues on my bill etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesitisdakid Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 It looks like this place has bought the farm they were heavy on Facebook looking for a 1/3 investment but I guess that fell through Blue streak would know more about it because I think he walks through here pretty often. But the place is dirty unkept it looks like the bar has been stripped of everything just looks like it's out of business who would have guessed it.

I think someone wants him out of there.....My bet is they will keep at it till he is forced to leave... I dont know why?.....That property is nothing special... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to enjoy having daytime drinks in the Triangle pre-covid - I'd go get some books next door at Canterbury Tales and then retire to the Triangle and watch the antics of Amon's massage girls across the soi. Sadly, these days the place is empty during the afternoon and there's little daytime action to watch from it, either. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he paid his Staff as usual during COvid as well...out of his modest UK Services Pension. I liked going there afternoons prior to the live bands etc. A good spot & good people. Hope it works out for him. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A recent comment posted in the above video sheds some interesting light on the situation at Triangle Bar. I hope it works out for Steve. It really sucks to try and run a good business in this town. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I was in Zero Bar last night and was told the live music is no more and they will be rebranding as a sports bar. I think it's a good move on their part as it seldom seemed like they had enough customers to cover the cost of the band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From comments by some vloggers I expected it to be really busy ... but even in Kink last night , you could get a front row seat ... when I was last here it was standing room only ... Billabong was still fairly busy , but again finding a seat was easy ... I prefer it like this 555 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
