Thats fucking terrible, what has it become.

yea, numerous people who ive spoken to have indeed confirmed, no ripped jeans, facial piercings and general mosherness is allowed downstairs in the westport bar at the present time!

It's a shame its been done up in the way you're all talking about. I'll need to check it out when I'm back through in a couple of weeks, after my exams.

well, at least you won't have to go into it to see what they've done. you can just look throught the large 'aren't we posh now' windows.

went in for a pint a couple of days ago, and got painfully dirty looks of the lady at the bar. like she was deciding to serve me at all, or to just chuck me out for being the only thing in the pub that wasn't nice shiny and looked like ikea furniture.

she gave me a horrible 'you scum' look and shrug-combo when I asked where the pile of newspapers were. She looked like she wanted to kill me.

Downstairs has always been shite anyway

I quite enjoyed having a gander at the paper and having some soup downstairs.

Sounds lik a lot of shite.

We should flashmob the westie next time there is a crap gig on and all turn up in full 80's punk gear!

This is shite on an all new level, now including the brain dead “pure oot ma nutt” section of society. The previous incarnation wasn't perfect, nothing that could be replicated from the real old Westie, but had a bit of charm and was a little more comfortable.

ArchFlameTera · 10th May 2007, 05:54 PM

the westie was always a bit of a dive, now its a dive with a bunch of tubes in it too!

Mugetsu · 17th May 2007, 10:33 AM

Just all make indie bands. Is the obvious thing to do. Make better indie bands than them and join the bandwagon! hahahaha

stuartmaxwell · 17th May 2007, 10:45 AM

i dont see what the problem is, if the westie kept going the way it was it would be out of business in 8-12months, whihc would have meant one less venue to play

so what, the wankers are downstairs, gigs upstairs, i dont see the problem. its not like you all drank in the downstairs bar before, and you have had it taken away from you, it never appeared to be a regular haunt for anyone, never mind moshers et al
