Revolution vodka bar coming to Stafford?

[arthur]

My daughter and i had cocktails at revolution newcastle today - they were lovely and reasonably priced - is the old litten tree supposed to be opening up as a reveolution bar.

I have had cocktails in revolution when it was in wolves. Oh my them drinks were stiff.

As far as I am aware yes...the former Litter Tray, sorry Littern Tree is to be converted into a Revolution bar....great new to be honest as they are sublime places....also I'm partial to Vodka

 

[littleme]

Am I thinking of the same thing...we used to go to Revolution in Newcastle-under-Lyme, it was a tacky Vodka bar?

 

[Trumpet]

Was in the Cheltenham one a few weeks ago. Thought it was a pretty decent place. They'd done a good job of converting an old church.

Like that place that opened then closed on mill street

Like that place that opened then closed on mill street

It was right by the bus station, really not so nice, packed, not so clean & all you could drink was *Vodka, not so bad when all we drank then was vodka-redbull!

* husband says there were cocktails, but I don't remember.....too many vodka-redbulls...

Let's be honest

A bar chain in a wealthy town will have prettier people and a bar chain in a poorer town less so, so a bar chain in Stafford will just have all those familiar faces you see in every other bar in Stafford

And we know what familiarity does......

I suppose (and this may sound controversial to some members here), if you don't like the place that's opening and feel you need to berate the place because it attracts the kind of people you don't like, then simply don't go in.

The fact is that the opening of the bar will employ a number of people, which has to be a good thing?

It should generate income for the town as well, given the scale of the development across the river and that it is a widely known brand of venue. I know from personal experience that for anything like this I'd have had to else where, Newcastle, Bentley Bridge for example for an eating out, cinema and post movie drink.

I can only see but good things for this......Yes there may be familiar faces as you put it, which is great, but you may find some new ones too.

Change is inevitable.......Embrace it.

 

[John Marwood]

Thanks - I take your point re regeneration etc

I'm sure the bar will fit in well with the new development

Particularly as the bar owners are also based in the tax-haven Channel Islands

But then everyone else avoids paying tax these days don't they?...........

 

[Entropy]

I dunno.....do you?

 

[John Marwood]

I dunno.....do you?

I dunna duck

I'd pay even more if I knew it would be spent on people who need help

But then I'm 'different'.....
