New singles bar in Cornwall..

A tenner to get in at weekends. You don't have to prove that you are single. Must take photo ID.
They use facial recognition cameras, which deters me. I'm guessing it may be for alcohol fuelled bad behaviour |

According to the owner you have to prove you are single via you fb relationship status. |

On the report I read it sounded as if the FB status check had been dropped (along with the original entry price at weekends of £20  ) |

Ridiculous to charge an entry fee just for a bar ... they serve food but not included in price. Its advertised as better than speed dating but they don't do introductions or anything or even a drink lol |

"They had 10 people go in 5 days of being open, they time your cigarette breaks and charge ten pound entry at the weekend, all very controlling."
Put that down was going to be £20! |

I think more single people are getting together through commenting about it on social media than they will from going there,. Ive been researching there are some hot single guys in truro, but they are all drinking elsewhere it seems lol |

Lol not sure if that's still required, lots of people don't have social media! Plus you can change relationship status in 30 secs ... you're going to Cornwall to try a crap bar? |

It would be better if he held theme nights, ie a band or speed dating, those kinds of things. He's missing out in some great potential customers. |

Apparently his business before was doing very well, he has majorly shot himself in the foot, it's likely to be closed after 3 months unless he changes it alot. You need photo ID to get in, and I'm certainly bothering to get some to sit in an empty bar. |

"Not sure what boggles the mind more - the guy's business plan or the amount of coverage Cornwall Live have been giving over the past few weeks.
I think you mean lack of business plan lol. "
Or that even! But wasn't it a decent curry house before?? |

Apparently it was very popular. Like msgives said why couldn't he just run the odd singles night and keep making money. |

If you think about it, he changed it to a singles bar as he thought he was doing the world a favour by helping them find love, but if people do get together through going there, and are no longer single they can no longer go in anymore,he would run out of customers pretty soon then anyway |

Great idea but poor implementation of it so far. We alone could help to nearly fill it some nights. I'd only dream of charging to restrict numbers, if it was getting rammed.
Could play forum bingo there, I'll rummage through and outpull the balls out |

"It's a shame to wasnt made more all inclusive to include poly people, etc.
Couldve been a good venue to run swingers socials as well"
It's a singles bar, poly people are attached not single as I understand it. Agree with the swingers social idea, would have to be single swingers though. Most socials are couples and single females only. |

I haven't been but I read that he had dropped the price for most weekdays. Don't you have to show your FB profile or something to prove you are single? Far too much hassle for me and to be fair, if its full of people "looking for love" then I shall give it a wide berth |

Yes I get it's a singles bar but people dynamics in this day and age arent so singular. Some people are attached but poly and there is literally no where for them to meet.
Shame he didn't put the energy into a swingers club for cornwall haha |

That's what I thought. I'm starting to think that it is all just an elaberate way of getting free advertising from Cornwall live and it will be turned back to an Indian restaurant by the end of February lol |

I don't think he would have fared too well om BBC or fab Dragons Den.
Potentially good idea, if there's enough demand and implemented properly. He's certainly got to make it busy enough to give enough choice for people wanting to find a match - until he crosses that they threshold, it's not going to put people in. And putting weekend charges in, before they had any punters, was stupid. |

There's an area still strictly for singles only, then the rest is open to anyone. I'm not going till they are paying people to go. |

"Is it closing down or going back to being a restaurant?
No doubt it will be on Cornwall live again when he decides lol. "
Why is it that Cornwall Live seems hellbent on killing Cornwall?
To be fair to the guy, he tried something and well, it didn't work, for lots of reasons (ever been in Truro on a Saturday night?)
I thought it was a nice idea, but the entry fee was a little stupid and the location poor. I never went, but then I am terrified of social interaction so that's not really his fault.
Cornwall does need a "club" though and I have considered opening one, but the reality is that it would receive too much local opposition and although Cornwall is a fairly big place, it has a very small population. |

I wouldn't say that about Cornwall live tbh, just that they saw fit to report on his business venture pretty much ever day for a couple of weeks. As for having a club in Cornwall, it is very much needed here, perhaps in a more secluded location around mid Cornwall may work. |

We all go clubbing out of Cornwall  and not sure I would go to one down here as it would be all the same people though summer would be ok! |

This is true, I tend to go in the Midlands, because I am unlikely to bump into someone I know (or ex ) |
