Anyone know when it is due to open back up again?

I need to hold a staff function pretty soon and this would work well.

Thanks

That's the one, always been a dump and will remain as one no matter how much cash they throw into it.

Agreed but seeing as I have 37 staff that work approx 400m from it who fit directly into their target market it seems like a reasonable place to take them.

I just want it for a Friday sundowner with some drinks and finger food.

They seem to be progressing well with the renovations but I want to know when they are re opening. I am happy to try it once and if it is rubbish I will continue my normal MO and never go there again.

I'll always remeber the skid that Jarrod dropped on the side street next to the rivervale one saturday night.

Residents were so impressed they asked him to come back and do another one!

we used to have staff meetings and training there on a wednesday night

food was fine, beer was cold, meetings went well

but venue is pretty fucked once a crowd gets in

I would say with the refurbishment they will lift entry standards too ... so might end up being half decent spot.

But in the past yes, it was an absolute shit hole (went once and that was enough for me).

food there was always pretty good, aside from the 92.9 crowd that was there every sunday it wasn't that bad, there is much worse..

Rumor is it is having a name change. Will be called "the empire".

I miss the glory days there when you used to rush out at close on Sunday to see the burnouts up and down the hill.
Will never be the same :(

Hahah thought you were talking about the red castle hotel in rivervale at first, kept thinking this as I kept reading and seeing 'shit hole'

I'd rather go to the Vic Park Hotel and then shoot some pool afterwards. Or nip into Langers on the way back.

Thats the place next to the bottleshop and the bp right? Went there once when they had a skimpy on. Was tempted to pay her $2 to put her clothes back on.

The Waterford Tavern closed down due to redevelopment, There is an IGA there now & more shops. Go down the road to the Mt Henry tavern.

Redcliffe was great, ex-bikey bar now, but the titties are still there, always used to see someone you knew gettin them out. Huge serve of bangers and mash last time I was down there for $7, good times..

Rivervale was a dive, but it was always great to see a fight spill over Gt Eastern Hwy, and we got plenty of chairs for my mates place from there, so all in all wasn't a bad experience.
