Will they serve left wing ales and only have left wing crisps and peanuts?

You'll be asked to recite a random line from the internationale before you're allowed to go to the bogs.

I do love that he's going to call it the Magic Money Tree, though.

 

[JTG]

It's going to be full of Lib Dems and the sort of cunts who think walking round with an EU flag on waving a baguette is left wing.

Good idea - take money and custom away from the Hydra.

Still haven't managed to pop in there. I've only ever had the free time in Bristol when it's been shut

That one on the OP sounds horrible though.

They should make people sing it at the door before letting them in. That will sort the wheat from the chaff.

...says musician Matuszewicz-Milne, whose first half of his surname comes from his Polish wife.

Err, thanks for that, B247

Unless Hydra has recently remodelled itself as a Canteen clone, then not sure how?

I like that too. I'd definitely pop into the place if it opens.

Maybe he asked them to mention it since double barrelledness is generally considered toff (whereas it sometimes isn't).

I'm guessing you're still not facebooking but they just put something up about this. Shared the article and plugged their own events.

 

[JTG]

The juke box is going to be entirely Billy Bragg isn't it?

 

[JimW]

In these times; close the working class pubs, open the left wing ones.

 

[JTG]

Anyway: these cunts are going to gentrify Old Market if it kills them

I went to a Communist pub quiz in the stag and hounds once. Not that I am a Communist. Our team didn't win. Maybe that's a metaphor for something.

This place sounds like it would be awful.

I might go.

Left-Wing Bar, huh. I wonder how far left then, I mean, how far left is left, and when you get there, what's left from there? At what point do the bar staff become owners of the place etc, what happens to the profits esp in a place where homelessness is worst in the city and what excuses are being employed I suppose we're all just tryna make a living at the end of the day maaan and I'm wondering when Bristol's going to hit peak food-drink shop anyway. Not yet apparently.

I get what you mean but I doubt it. There's an actual point to the Hydra, if anything this rubbish might get a few people to visit Hydra, who might not have otherwise.

 

[xenon]

Left wing equals pro EU.

But what about the finance capital friendly, neo liberal economic policies enforced?...
Get out you are barred, you racist. My wife is Polish!

and henry cow.
real pub music, that.

 

[Celyn]

His idea is to create a space for people to talk about their political beliefs but also share a drink and have a good time in a casual environment.

Lovely idea! Wonderful idea! Amazingly original!

And this "space" wherein people can discuss stuff and also have a drink, would it actually be called a "pub", by any chance?

 

[kalidarkone]

I wonder if it's going to be where the stag and hounds was I'm really missing the stag and hounds.

I'd be excited if they put live music on. One of my favourite bands is ' Future of the left ' that would be perfect.....cept they'd need a pretty big venue.

Peak food-drink shop appears to be happening now - all it's needs now is a savvy crapatilist to realise that a Corbyn themed bar / restaurant could do the biz for the whole shebang to start falling. The pic in the article looks like a 'Pop' Bristol - the world must be approaching the peak 'edgy container park' event horizon as well.
