Pubs changing their name...

gord · 12th December 2005, 10:49 PM

First the Balcony Bar (good name) became 'Somewhere Else' (shit name)

Then the Beat Bar (good name) became 'Satchmos' (shit name)

What's the beef?

I think the Balcony realised the error of their ways though and changed it back again.

humndislocation · 12th December 2005, 11:13 PM

Yeah, it's called The Balcony again, and with good reason.

gord · 12th December 2005, 11:19 PM

Oh good, because that was the dumbest idea ever.

'Barcode' in perth changed it's name to 'Angry Mic's' think that was due to legal reasons

the horseshoe on commercial st, think they played the name chage game too. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it was part of the redocorating thing.....but for some reason i think unnecessary name change.

I actually thought that Beat Bar was a pretty shit name, I like the name Satchmos.

I reckon name changes are usually fair enough, if you want to change the reputation of a pub the best way to do it is with a fresh name. No new name ever really sounds that good, seeing as how the name tends to adopt the association with your opinion on the establishment -- the slate gets wiped clean, meaning if you liked the place before, you will probably like it less once the name changes. Until you get used to it anyway.

Damn those GSD... bastards.

With the exception of the cutty, I think the cutty should have to keep their name by law, if they changed it unsuspecting civilians would walk in....to their immortal doom.
