Mr Helmut Fromage Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Astonishingly dull thread - new bar opens in a blaze of underwhelmingness - Jack White goes but but but it’s amazing the streets are paved with gold. Put it to bed now revisit in the arse end of February and we’ll know how good the concept is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) Glasses are actually very important to the person consuming the drink, whatever the alcohol might be. When l ran my collectables art business we often sold antique and vintage glassware, often exporting worldwide. My favourite glassware is hollowed- stem glass produced by Tiffany & Co. I don’t pretend to know anything about alcoholic drinks; however, l do have a fairly large knowledge of antique glassware. The most expensive set l sold was a collection of Rene Lallique glassware. High-quality glasses are expensive especially if the line has been discontinued. Glassware is actually extremely important to a business selling alcohol; l'm often disappointed if incorrect glasses are served in a wine bar or restaurant. I think if you show knowledge in an area that is often overlooked, it will pay dividends. This is only an opinion; Jack is an expert in his field, and l suspect alot of research has gone into the choice of glassware for that business model. You should, however, have an alternative for a customer who requests another one if its not to their liking. I have a preference for a particular type of glass; other customers may not have any preferences.

slinkydevil Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I drink my Macallan 50-year-old single malt from a plastic beaker with Tescos diet lemonade. Tastes fine. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Forget Jack, let'[s give the couple operating the Bar a break? Seems they have day jobs for now and then the Bar when they can. Understandable for a ''soft launch'' but not so much for confidence in the business? Are they a husband and wife couple? That could be a strain, high divorce rate in catering!!! Still, wish them well and hope they make it through the winter! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
