I expected some lows during this challenge, but certainly not on the 2nd day.. Due only to the fact that it is near my bus stop, I ended up going for a drink in the Parkrow Bar & Brasserie. This bar has annoyed me for some time, mainly due to the constant flyering along the Headrow. However, I went in open-minded, especially as it was advertising 'happy hour' between 4-7. If I had more time, I'd be looking into the Trades Description Act, as there was certainly nothing happy about this place.
Despite this being peak time for bars, and it screening the tennis from Wimbledon, there can only have been 5 or 6 people in the whole bar. There was no atmosphere at all, and even the bar staff looked bored. So, I finished my Coors Light (when did £2.50 become a discounted price for a pint?) and left quickly.
Sadly, due to the odd business model of having 3 pubs in one building, if I want to do this challenge properly I'm going to have to go back to try the Bierkeller and Shooters Sports Bar, but it certainly won't be for a long time.
