History Repeats As Venues Go Back In Time
Following last month’s closure of the highly unpopular night venue Worx, former manager Ian Yoshimi has surprised no-one by delaying the re-launch of Worx’s predecessor, Shotz/The Warehouse/The King’s Head/Stripes/Something Else.
This week it was announced with much fanfare that the formerly popular venue, closed down by Teeth-Moss Entertainment in favour of the rubbish club across the road, would be re-opened by Mr Yoshimi, thereby allowing local drinkers to return to the slightly more pleasant venue that everyone whinged about losing a year ago.
However, at the last minute it was revealed that the building was “not ready” and residents would have to wait another week – which is exactly what happened when Worx was due to open a year ago.
Local binge-drinkers were feeling let down as the club announced the delay on Facebook. Polly Kerman, of Berkely Street, gave the Citizen déja-vu by saying “Hunch Taverns have been saying that it’ll DEFINITELY be open on the 10th, so it was fairly obvious it wouldn’t be” which is more or less exactly what she said about Worx.
Excited as we are about the return of the grotty barn which used to serve us at 14 years old, The Citizen is also sitting smugly back after it’s prediction that “Worx will charge an entry fee, meaning a maximum of three people inside at any one time” was proved to be correct.
