D2J Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Whilst having a Coca-Cola or two last night we stumbled into the Walkabout.. The Refurb is shocking! It just doesn't look right at all The place seems to have no atmosphere or spirit now. I know a lot of people don't like the place but I do (or did rather) another waste!

jonsastar Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I used to love it in walk about, it was sound for having a mad hour on an evening when there was a live band on, heaving when it was full though, and they didnt like it when people did moonies.

bigdave1 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 The Walkabout is great for the big sporting occasions (Euro Championships 2000 & 2004 ,World Cup 2002 etc) but the management of the place need a lesson on how to plan for the big event. Everytime there's been a big England game, instead of being sensible and allowing people access to the balcony section and bar, they've been content to cram everybody into the downstairs section , opening upstairs about 5 minutes before kickoff .The result is a stampede upstairs to reserve the upper level seats and tables and sooner or later , someone will get seriously hurt . What's more, when you've finally made it upstairs, there's always been one member of bar staff to serve hundreds of people! What the place needs is an Ents. Manager who actually has a clue - plus a Live DJ to whip people up on these occasions . The atmosphere kicks arse when there's something big happening (with singing and chanting like a real game) but imagine how good it would be for pub and customer alike if it was done properly.
