O'Connells Bar, Chatham

The last review on this pub was over 1 year ago, and yes it WAS a dingy place to avoid, but 3 weeks ago a new manager took over the bar. So what does this mean?

Well it means the trouble makers have been barred, the pub is currently going through re-decoration inside & outside and oh yes, the name of the pub is changing, as there is such a negative vibe attached to the old name, its time for a turn.

How do i know its making any form of difference, I've been in twice and spoken to people who have avoided the place like the plague in the last few years, but now find the people/staff very welcoming, and are looking forward to the new look this pub is going to have. They will be back

Other reviews have asked/said this pub needs an overall, and if this pub can show to turn a profit very quickly, then it will get its overall and has the potential to be an amazing pub for all. Mother & children afternoons are being set up so local mums can get to know each other with tea & cake and the children can be entertained. Quiz and karaoke nights won't be far behind. The pub currently has some really great drinks offers as well.

One for you artists - if you have an artistic side, part of the bar walls are going to be turned for the general public to decorate, so if your an artists or someone who just has something to say (as long as it is not swearing or rude drawings for the sake of rudness) then please come and have a go - as long as you sign it, it will stay.

If you are looking for a pub that is very welcoming, or one that you want to be inspired by, or one you can have a few drinks and have a laugh with friends, then this is the place. Get in on the ground floor of this amazing opportunity and watch as this pub rise from the ashes into a place you want to come for a night out.
