I'm out of here ! Away from the bar for the weekend. Ryan and Lorna playing 28/08/09 8pm, worth a visit. In the meantime I wish you all (or whoever is reading) a Happly Bank Holiday Weekend.

Update

Just a quick "done in one" update.

Last week's quiz was a big success, with Gordon/Jimmy and the rest of the boys winning the main prize. The bonus question was won by two teams, see if you can guess the answer " When was Channel 5 first broadcast in the UK ?"

DJ Jack on Friday night was a good night with text requests coming in thick and fast although High School Musical and Aaron Carter were not what I would call music as such. We will be having Jack back, so watch this space.

Saturday was a very unusual night, we were a little quiet early on however it did pick up to being very busy later on. I spoke to a local takeaway owner who said they had their busiest night in about 9 months. The reason for all this ............ X Factor ! People staying in with a takeaway to watch it and either didn't go out or went out much later than usual. Simon Cowell has a lot too answer for !

Quiz this Thursday, 8pm, usual format ! We will be making an announcement in the next couple of weeks about Wednesday nights, it will be a new sort of entertainment for us and will involve crowd participation, watch this space !

The only other news is that Lizzie, who works behind the bar on Sundays, has a hidden talent and is actually a very good singer. We have booked her for her debut performance on 3rd October at the bar. Good Luck Lizzie and we luck forward to it.

Any suggestions or comments then mail us info@bottle-bar.com

As mentioned on Jed Pitman's Breakfast show Original 106.5FM .....

Quiz night this Thursday 8pm. We had a mention yesterday on Original 106.5 FM, Jed Pitman's Breakfast show and were oficially named Weston Super Mare's Biggest quiz night (well we did tell them to say it)

It is fast becoming quite a large operation for us but we have more space, so if you fancy it the get down to West Street on a Thursday.

Nice weekend. This week's plans ....

Hello to anyone reading and thanks for visiting our website. Lovely weekend weather-wise last weekend, it would be good if we could have a few more like that !

The South West's ONLY Bottle Bar is pleased to announce that we will be unveiling a new product line in the bar in the next couple of weeks. We need to agree some paperwork but all being well we shall introduce something a bit less ordinary in soon. (Quick hint, it involves Somerset's favourite tipple !)

This week sees the quiz on Thursday, 8pm. Last week we had a record number of teams and are expecting similar this week, we are working out some extra seating too.

Then on Friday we have Tom Connibear playing at TBB, it's his first appearance with us so please come along and support a local business and a local act, both of us trying to start out in life !! http://www.myspace.com/tomcsolo Surfy laid back guitar, Jack Johnson-like !

The Bottle Bar now with Indoor Swimming Pool

Arrived at the bar yesterday to find a full scale flood. Plumbers upstairs had routed a hose pipe in to a shower tray that had over flowed and come through our ceiling and all over the bar. However with Mr C's help we managed to dry things out and get open for 7pm.

This means that quiz night will be taking place tonight and we are hoping to stream it on the Internet, don't ask me why we just are.

8pm tonight then for Weston Super Mare's Premier Pub Quiz.

Bottle Bar Music and News.

Good Morning, I hope you are all well. It is nice to know that our following is growing both on Twitter and also people viewing the blog. We do put effort in to these things to keep you informed, entertained and give you something to read when you are stuck in the office !

First off we have changed our music set up in the bar and are now able to play requests if you ask the bar staff. Generally the music is more laid back on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays and more upbeat on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Funniest site of the weekend for us was Friday night watching a group of male regulars dance to YMCA and Erasure, their girlfriends and female companions were both amused and confused. Anyway ask for a track to be played and we will play it if we can. 21st August will see DJ Jack William Cantwell host a Text Request night at The Bottle Bar. The number will be published both on here and Twitter.

We had our first celebrity Tweet yesterday. I happened to mention on Twitter that I was listening to William Orbit whilst ordering the stock and low and behold William Orbit Tweeted us direct ! See this at www.twitter.com/bottlebar

Quiz this Thursday with a roll-over bonus question ! Special cocktails this weekend, come and see us.

PS This morning I am listening to The Jam and Town Called Malice !
