Bar update

[ash48]

Hey guys! I know I have comments to answers, but I'm a little distracted this weekend because we FINALLY got all the necessary approvals to open the bar. It's been many years in the making (3 since the registration of the name), so it's with huge relief that I can post to say - YAY, we have a bar. \o/ It's actually my husband and his business partner's venture - but it's been a huge part of my life recently. We had a "soft" opening last night (family and friends) to test things out and it all went very well.

We open the doors to the public at 3pm today. We're very keen to see what the reaction will be like. :)

I love the bar itself, gorgeous! And that leather seated nook looks perfect for a fangirl get together :D And I can just imagine enjoying a cold one out on the patio.

Congratulations, hun, it'll be a huge success! :D

Is that a little stream running though the counter? It all looks great, fingers crossed it will be a huge success!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's a resin river. At first we thought it wasn't going to work because on the first few pours in cracked. It was stressful - but then we found that pouring more hot resin over the cracks filled them in and they disappeared. yay!

Congrats!!!! The place looks awesome. Must visit soon. Am thinking it might even be a good place for a local SPNFamily meet-up. Do you have a website or FB page with hours, menu options, etc????

Very cool that I know exactly where it is from the second pic. Lovely part of Basso and a great location.

Hey!

YEs, we do have a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Cork-and-Bottle-Old-Perth-Road-467886106613626/). Would love to see you pop by. I think it would be a cool place to have a meet up also...;)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

That is EXCITING! I hope it goes super well!

[zara-zee.livejournal.com]

This is awesome! So warm and cosy looking and I love the little stream beneath the resin. I think...from memory, you're in Perth...if I'm ever over that way I'll have to check it out! :D

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hye. Yes, we're in Perth. And if you are ever over this way it would be super cool to see you! :)

[amnisias.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love it. Particularly the outside drinking area. And you guys have the weather to go with it, too! I'd totally drop by if I was anywhere in the vicinity....

[amypond45.livejournal.com]

Good luck! I would love to come (you live half a world away so sorry, but...) It looks really amazing!

[cassiopeia7.livejournal.com]

Congratulations to you and the hubster! And wow, that is one classy bar! Gorgeous interior decorating -- did you have a hand in that, perhaps? We all know how good your eye is . . . ;)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

I gotta say, I didn't have much of a hand. Little suggestions here and there (along with my daughter who has a good eye for that stuff). My hubby had a pretty clear idea of what he wanted it to look like. I've enjoyed shopping for furniture though - that's been fun. :)

[el1ie.livejournal.com]

Wow! It's ready!! YAY!!!

All looks amazing, love the stand out decor - the barrel tables with the shady trees and that wonderful bar top stream are a real show stopper. I'm sure it'll be a success but all the very best of luck for a good opening and great customers for many years to come.

[thursdaysisters.livejournal.com]

Wow that looks classy, good luck! :-D

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

Wow, that looks really nice. I'd love to hang out there.

It looks wonderful and I'm so glad the soft opening went so well!
