Chance of a lifetime 2! You are asked to start a Biker Pub. How should it be done?

[Crasherfromwayback]

Perhaps they could take it to their local pub, and swap it for a cold one (free of charge)?

I'm sure plenty would try! Still...unlike the bloody Aussies...at least our bottles stores don't charge more for 'cold' beer!

I liked the system, If they weren't going straight into the gut then buy the warm ones, waste of time buying chilled beer if it was going to be warm before you got to drink it.

The likes of The Puhoi, Bar Africa in Albany and Drivers Bar down here in Tauranga do a pretty good job of it, friendly staff, good basic food and well priced drinks.

Like the sign at Puhoi that reads ' If our service doesn't meet you standards, lower your standards'.

Different strokes for different folks, while you and I (and probably alot of others) find that rather amusing there will no doubt be others that find it offensive.

That sort don't belong there, then. One could only hope they leave. And good riddance to them...

Rod Seymour would sometimes take one look at you and throw you out of the pub. Did not even have to do or say anything, if he did not like the look of you - Out you went. He had one of those potty mouths that is so bad it ceaces to shock. The stories are legendary.

Was that a case of the customer having too high, or too low, standards?

[Tink]

A cloak room where you can shed wet leathers/cordura and get it dry in winter, kind of like a ski lodge.

Also lots of outside seating for summer (thats what makes Puhoi so good).

Oh, and topless waitresses ;-)

MMMM if there is topless waitresses, I want men with minimal leather... on their feet. lol

Loud as hell Jukebox full of metal cd's.

Beer aint shit without Motorhead crankin.

Otherwise I'm completely indifferent to my surroundings, Don't need any special treatment.

Cold beer, something to lean on, Heavy Metal.



And killer bands on Friday and Saturday night.

Ye bands is always good, thats where the Kentish in Waiuku is good, some subtle out door rock music, don't think I could handle cranking metalhead stuff...

Most of us would have visited a pub or two that is "biker friendly". In some cases this only means that they allow us to have our leathers on. In other cases this extends to parking, greetings and even a drink on the house.

With our combined knowledge of what bikers REALLY want from a pub I recon we could design the perfect one.

So, what should a Biker Pub REALLY look like?

Oh and, trade is welcome to add their view here. But try to be positive. please...

I like the idea of one on the desert road ... somewhere ya can fill up in all capacities, catch up with mates from Wellington, Taupo, BOP, etc.. pool tables, mmmm another Puhoi basically... in the middle of no where. Cause ya have to ride to get there... !

Problem being...when I'm buying beer it's normally for the here and now

The pic I put on post #2 is the kind of Pub of which you speak. The road there is amazing.
When we got there, we knocked on the door, some female came to the door, still in her PJ's bottom and said ''yeah''?....''um can we get something to eat and drink''? ...''gimme 20 mins''!
We waited and waited, and then went in, by then there were two or three others inside. We asked about food and she said '' not today, a bag of chippies or nuts will have to do''.
either that or ride on to Parongahau, which we did, yet and cool pub!

On a quiet evening, if you stop and listen to the wind at Puhoi you can still hear the Banjos a strumming.

Yep I remember one winters day watching him chasing some poor bugger round and round the bar.
With a freaking AXE!!!
