GPA - Golf Pub Architecture
« on: October 06, 2006, 01:28:46 PM »
It's a Friday, most of us are scouring the Las Vegas info sheets to determine if Stanford is worthy of the +29 points vs Stanford of the Midwest, but as an offshoot of the Golf Clubhouse threads that ran a week or so ago, here is a new one (and I don't have many to add so please post your own photos ...).

Golf Pub Architecture ...

(and this pub doesn't serve Belhaven Best or Shiner Bock)

Mike,

That has to be by far the worst "Bar" I have ever seen.

There is no roll to the front of it and any beer that is spilled will drop immediately into your lap. The roll allows the liquid to course away from you.

There seems to be no flash tray on the barmaids side either, which makes for an even messier service area.

As for the formica top, all I can say is that it is just too ghastly for words.

This gets a minus 1 on the Huntley scale.

Have you played this bar?  Judging a bar by a photo is often very dangerous[/i]

There is no roll to the front of it and any beer that is spilled will drop immediately into your lap. The roll allows the liquid to course away from you.

Again, the photo doesn't show the slope of the bartop, which goes away from the patrons, again, be careful judging from a photo alone[/i]

There seems to be no flash tray on the barmaids side either, which makes for an even messier service area.  

The flash tray is nicely hidden on the left side by the architect, hanging under the numerous taps and 4-hand pumped draft taps for the specialty beers the establishment offers[/i]

As for the formica top, all I can say is that it is just too ghastly for words.

As a concession to the owners demands, the architect designed an all-weather top that would handle the high traffic areas that normally punish other materials allowing this top to be quickly playable again after harsh conditions[/i]

This gets a minus 1 on the Huntley scale.

I look forward to additional information concerning the Huntley scale, specifically a list of approved establishments and rating criteria.  Do you need an assistant in your continued research?[/i]

Bob

Mike,

I love it. With the questions and blue printing I thought I was hearing from dear old Pat.

I remember reading something Henry Longhurst wrote about the best golf club bar he had been in being one in Las Vegas (Thunderbird?) where the bartenders worked in a sunken "well" that put them below eye level, allowing for those sitting at the bar to have an unobstructed view out the windows to the course and mountains beyond. I have never seen such a setup.

The unobstructed view would be of the IBG. (inverted bar grade?)

DeVries, this one is for you! ;D

I have seen better bars a my friend's homes than this one.  The Scenery isn't too hot either.  Is that bar in a Sun City development?

Mike are you here in town?

I believe the newly renovated bar in the dining room at Desert Forest has a similar feature.

Only a half hour to closing and the two patrons have only one drink lined up in front of them[/color]; what area of Utah was this photo taken in?

Mike,

Take the points.  Look for a replay of Charlie on Mike & Mike this morning and you'll know why.

For a lounge or bar area of a clubhouse, I prefer it with out stools. I find tables to be shared much more inviting and friendly. Have a bar and a bartender but have people walk to the bar or provide some type of bar service.

Mike you seem to be a fixture not just on the course but at the bar at DF. Hmm has our hillbilly moved to Carefree?

The corridors are too narrow -- a good bar should be 3 feet wide to give plenty of options; beers and shots.

Has this bar been remodeled? it looks to be a mix of arts and crafts (Tiffany Lamps) and the RTJ era with the ceiling fan and formica. I suggest a thoughtful restoration. Does the pub have any aerials?
