Flash@TMB Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Can't reveal the new name because it's top secret, and only a handful of people know it. There are various rumours circling, which we are ultimately the source of, but whether anyone chooses to believe those or not is entirely their call Most of the other changes have slowly implemented over the course of the past 5 years, and although the toilets have been taken in an entirely new direction, the rest of the building resolutely remains a dive bar (in the true context of dive). We've always targeted the students to some extent, and were fixture at the student fayers until last year, when we reached the point of demising returns and decided to invest our marking budget into live music instead. There are no plans whatsoever to turn the place into a dedicated student bar, except perhaps on the morning of the 1st of April 2016, when one shall be erected on the site of our former absinthe distillery. Am aware of various other rumours floating around, none of them accurate. Happy to answer any questions, so fire away! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Good to see the secret is out although I do disagree with the plans to have student offers, chart music etc. Preparing to become part of a chain etc. Changing it's name to: T In The Pub. Can't believe this has been neg-repped. Such a good post. T IN THE PUB! Zingggg. Brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did the open mic end on Sundays? Do you still sell the sister drink to Hefe or was that discontinued? What other Fruit Beers do you sell other than Fruli? Do you still look at the Jukebox thread for suggestions/ do you still update the Jukebox? Why don't you post on these forums as much as you did back in it's heyday 2004/2005? One of your staff are organising a 1 day music festival in Insch, Is there a Facebook/Website where I could find out more about this? Also what is this guys name? (He only works on a Tuesday) I would also like to say since I haven't had the chance to meet you in person that you have an awesome bar with honest down to earth staff. I have not found this in any other bar where you could actually have a conversation with the bar staff and not get weird looks. I also like how you can come by yourself and not get weird looks. Great atmosphere even when it's empty. Hopefully I will meet you one day when your in the bar.

Stuff like the toilets and the cosmetic/practical layout overhaul all make sense for obvious reasons, but the name change makes it feel more like a total re-brand? And the trains pass at "about half 6". You don't need to be more accurate than that. xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I said it on this forum before that article came out) I am attending T In The Park this year and so will have to slum it with Tennants whilst there. I would go to this event but it clashes with the Moorings Variety Show. Edited June 18, 2015 by Improved Thinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Improved Thinker Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Why does drinking alcohol get put in the same category as Smoking? Someone asked if I smoked and I replied with "no" but they pointed out that I did drink. Since when has drinking alcohol been as bad as smoking.

Little Green Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 any frequent gig goers at the music hall? i've only been to one a few years back and got tickets standing on the main floor level with stage.I want tickets to bullet (refrain from sarcastic comments) but all that seems left is balcony/stalls.am i correct in thinking both are raised? i'm not keen on having standing tickets on a raised platform in case of accident but i think they might be seated anyways, can anyone confirm?

kirsten Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) I maybe mis-read your post. Basically at the Music Hall, balcony and stalls are your only option, as opposed to HMT where you've the stalls, dress circle and upper circle. Stalls just means the dancefloor/on the same level as the stage, so not raised. Sometimes there are seats but for bands like Bullet For My Valentine, I think it'll just be standing because people will want to move around.

Little Green Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 thanks for clarifying. i though the stalls were the little boxes like at hmt but mh doesnt have them and they have another name.i dont really want seated for a concert so i guess the balcony is out so basically i want stalls...which is sold out...damn. well at least i know what i'm looking for now.

kirsten Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Yeah, there's just upstairs and downstairs at the Music Hall. It looks like there are still stalls available directly from the APA site - http://www.aberdeenperformingarts.com/events/bullet-for-my-valentine Edited June 20, 2015 by kirsten 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
