Dick's Bar - first time visit

[oneillco]

So I finally got to the ground early enough today to get in Dick's Bar. What a treat I thought; what a disappointment in reality. It's like standing around in the sterile foyer of hospital. Anyway, in the interests of constructive criticism I would suggest a much bigger effort with the memorabilia and decoration and more chairs, and at least one more barman. The three on today were only in no hurry...

towards the end of last season it reminded me of the bar at the dog track without polystyrene trays of chips. (last time I went to the dog track was about 5 years ago, it may have improved)

It's complete rubbish I wouldn't bother wasting your time, the clues in the name, bland, sterile, crap service too

Absolutely awful place. I have no idea why anyone would go there over The Swan.

 

[TrickyOne]

I think the honeymoon period is over and we're all beginning to see where the cracks are..I expect there to be changes afoot!

It is what it is and there will always be people willing to use it

Of course it is what it is ! So is everything in the universe and beyond. Does that mean it shouldn't be improved ?

 

[Colossal Squid]

Why does it need to be improved? It's always full

 

[Braders]

Thing is all the time it's packed and making money - nothing will change.

EDIT : what CS said.

Be careful! Barber will start charging a tenner to go in there if you want it upgraded.

Until such time as there are significant numbers of coquettish debutantes, sporting facinators, casting 'come to bed eyes' over their flittering fans whilst sipping exquisite Martinis, I shall continue to take my business elsewhere.

Christ, you're side-splittingly hilarious!

 

[Pevenseagull]

Some velvet drapes would not be amiss.

It's closer. Some people don't like using their legs.

 

[Hillian1]

It's a shitfest, a shitfest of unparalleled proportions.

I've been in there twice, in our first season at The Amex only, and was confronted by people slapping eachother on the back about how they saved the club when I'd never in 30 years seen them before, and fat women wearing lanyards saving seats seats for people still in the queue to get in.

Christ, you're side-splittingly hilarious!

Thank you. I try.

Is that a euphemism?
