– Three days left

It’s beginning to actually look like a bar, I can almost imagine supping an ale in the first floor saloon. The skirting has been glossed (it’s browner than we thought, but hey ho), the G Plan tables have been re-varnished and the fisherman lanterns are up. Not forgetting the important bits – the two double height fridges have arrived, as has the stillage, the glasswash and a couple of beer deliveries. The cellar to bar plumbing is in hand and the toilets now have sinks. If all the builders, electricians and plumbers cleared out we could almost invite you all in. A little patience will however give us more seats, more beer, shinier floors and hopefully a skip to clear out the yard. We’ll hang on ’til Thursday.

– Four Days To Go…

So, another busy day… the cellar and kitchen are now fully painted white, the rest of the floor is being sanded and varnished, the enamel pendant lights are up and a world class fencing team from County Fencing Supplies have turned two and a half brick walls into a beer yard. Things hot up tomorrow as the fixed seating goes in and our first beer delivery is due. eek.

– Six days and counting!

Latest update on Port Street: The rest of the missing floor has arrived, the beer fonts are stuck in Italy (although we’re borrowing some for opening), the lighting company are incompetent and the gloss paint isn’t what it said on the swatch but the bar is going in, the beer yard is being fenced and the fridges are on their way. Can’t wait for Thursday!
