Carbon Bars: November 2011

Big news guys.... we have an official logo.

We have been working with a team of designers on a couple of ideas and the one above reflects what we are trying to achieve with an 'earthy' look and and feel. We can now move onto the other areas of brand so more news will follow soon.

Any thoughts/opinions?

In terms of the building works this is also moving ahead. We have now finished plastering the VIP area so this is now ready for 2nd fix. The window has been fitted to the bottom 'snug' and this has also been plasterboarded ready for plastering. Work now moves onto the other snugs.

The bar has to be ready (at least legs and top) for this weekend so that the pipes can be fitted to it from the cellar. The pumps will also be installed this weekend, so we should see some significant developments on that front.

Tiles have been bought for the bathrooms and speakers as well. The seating has also been ordered and this is hopefully going to look great. Carpet fitters have been booked for the end of this month too.

I will take some more pictures once the bar is looking a bit more completed.

hello! long time no speak :)

Apologies for such a delay in updating the blog, seems like there are not enough hours in the day at the minute. So whats happened I hear you scream....

Well we have finally finished the stripping out. After filling 14 skips we now have a bare base to work from. Some areas had three levels of plasterboard on them so by stripping them this gave us more room. Phil has been working hard at stripping the old cabling out and putting in a new up to date system.

We have also been shopping, speakers, TV's, mixers, tiles, plasterboard etc have all been purchased. This week has also been a fairly big landmark as we now have plasterboard on some walls so it looks different already.

So whats next, bling! We are speaking to a furniture maker about making some bling sofas for the VIP area - and combined with the colour scheme and game stations this area is going to look great. We have signed a deal with a company to provide the pumps and beer, and the pumps (T-bars) are something else! Also we have found someone to make the bench seating. Hopefully next week we will also be starting to put a base layer of paint on. We have also been speaking to some till people about putting in touch screen tills with links to the net and will be great for the food in the future.

Also we are starting to build up a fantastic relationship with the landlords who have big things planned for the whole of St Andrews Court.

Everything is starting to look a little more rosy - only 5 weeks left though :) Have a look at the pictures and let me know what you think.
