It is reported today that a club owner has come up with a novel way to try and beat the recession. He is allowing people to bring their own alcohol with them. Bob Senior, who runs a Durham Live Club in Durham, said his industry had been wrecked by supermarkets selling cheap alcohol. And in what appears to be case of 'if you can't beat them, join them', he is charging an entry fee, but allowing customers to provide their own drink. While the practice is common in restaurants that don't have an alcohol licence, it is thought to be the first time a nightclub has made such a move.
I say this sound like a great way to make regular clubbing accessible again. And if more people go out others will surely follow, Currently there are just to many nights when you go into a club and its empty. It certainly doesn't make me want to stay when they are like that. People like crowds, lets fill these clubs up again before the whole nightclub industry closes and innovative ideas like this should be welcomed. For to long only Student nights seem to have been target with price innovations on drinks....
How long until local councils ban the practice...?
