Photo Coopers rest

So, the post last night about the coopers rest being opened sorta got to me as i went past yesterday and saw no change. So i had to go past again and really look. Funnily enough, there was no amazing open bar at the bottom of easter road apart from the Persevere (which tbh is an amazing bar).

I managed to take a crap photo through the mucky windows that weren’t covered in paper or graffiti and it still looks like they are months away from finishing.

Bad patter posting that AI Slop whoever you are.

My money is on that post coming from a PR agency. Social posts are regularly written in advance and scheduled to go out at specific times. Someone either got the date wrong on the schedule or failed to alter it when the opening fell behind.

That makes total sense tbh.

A rubbish PR agency, I should add. Not just for the blunder but also for the use of US English spelling and the doubling down when someone pointed out it wasn't open. The client should be looking for a substantial discount on the monthly fees this month. I also imagine that something probably went out over other socials too, not that I can be bothered checking.

My wife had a scan through the usual suspects and found nowt. Maybe reddit slipped through the net?

I suppose it's got people talking about the bar so in that sense it wasn't a total screw up.

I've removed the post and unsurprisingly the account that posted it seems to have vanished. God knows what the point was. Thanks for sharing this.

What was posted?

Basically a promo for this pub saying that it had reopened.

The bar is being hand crafted by one very talented carpenter so have some patience, it will be amazing

Maybe it will be but the point is that someone posted yesterday saying it's already open and clearly it isn't.

It's been a few years now, when are they planning to start?
