Bunkers Hill Pub

[henry190]

Hiya, hope the admins dont mind me doing a bit of advertising here, but I run Bunkers Hill and as ive said before Im a big fan of the Panthers and would just like to get peoples opinion on what they would like to see happen in the pub. We already get a fair amount of hockey fans in before and after the game but be nice to get more in for a better atmosphere. So people let me know and I will see what I can do.

Cheap beer!
Show some hockey vids.

Go and have a look a rockies in Belfast, something like that.

[5+game]

pole dancing
topless waitresses

you know the usual bloke stuff

[icebandit]

Nice to hear you are on the case, hope it pays off if you get some good idea's/feed back.

[crooksy]

i think showing some old panthers games or the friday night live game would go down quiet well before the game also some kind of special pricing to get the fans in to start with. Also how about trying to get some players in after a game this seems to draw loads of people into rockies in belfast after games

Show the live elite league hockey on a Friday night and get the espn NHL games showing throughout the day.

Then publicise on Facebook and Twitter.

I'd certainly pop in for a pint or 7 if I knew there was going to be regular hockey showings

Aye...what he said ;D

The problem that Henry has mentioned before is that it's too expensive for him to run sky in there - so get Panthers games on or hockey highlight DVDs or summat along those lines!

[Kirk55]

Make it hockey themed a bit like the crix was god i miss that place

That's not advertising, it's market research and on that basis is fine by me.

Let me know when you have the beer vouchers ready

It's my Football teams Christmas outing on Sunday so there should be 10-15 of us in the Bunkers by about 2pm.

What's that you say? Bulk buy discount?...

Another problem with trying to show the Friday live game is thats its never at the time it says. What you could do though is go into the arena and buy the a couple of the previous games on dvd, there like £10 but gives people something to watch especially if they missed it.

Assuming copyright is ok, tho the DVD's are not actually top wack quality having been run off on a bog standard player.

Nothing wrong with you doing the pub up a bit with hockey related merchandise (would have been bought for personal resaons) but how far do you want to go to not put non-hockey related persons off when it's not hockey nights?
Being connected to the sport is not a bad thing.I'd support it rather than another pub that did not. Like I say I have documentaries on DVD and you can sell my books...lol...

[texpef]

lots of shirts panthers and otherwise available from ebay as well as plenty of other hockey related merchandise... hockey pub a la the one in Belfast would be great...

[Rhino#13]

Just keep the well kept, plentiful and varied real ale flowing and I'll keep coming in.

[howeaboutthat]

Oh Kendra, you're so easily pleased.

[supermattytrickett]

Re-install 'cynics corner' (some veteran posters will understand what i'm referring to!) for us wannabe Don Cherry's to have a moan and a rant after watching a sub-standard Panthers performance.

Thankfully these are few and far between during recent years, so perhaps there's no need to cater for us cynical sorts any longer

[texpef]

theres always time for cynics Corner SMT....

+1 to that.

The easiest way to get punters in is as simple as getting the players in.

[BigLad]

BBQ and drinks offers on game nights?

A Panthers beer?

Previous match DVD on game nights (if Panthers allow this).

Play-Off party with NHL 11 penalty challenge comps, shirt auctions, etc!!!!! :-)

Bunkers has become part of my Panthers experience. Always enjoy it in there.
