| Not sure if any of the past reviewers have recently visited but this pub re-opened at the end of last year under its original name of Watercress Harrys. It has been taken over and is being run by the same team behind Saxtys. Totally re-decorated now, it is really nice inside, light, airy, classy decor. It now has 12 (I think) HD TVs, a Wii Station, a boxing machine and video jukebox. They show all the big sports games - it's like being in your lounge, but with a bar! They've moved away from trying to compete with the nightclubs and don't currently do food. It caters for the younger crowd more than Saxtys does but there was a good mix of people in there when I was in on Sunday. Definitly worth a re-visit if you haven't seen it since it has been done up... definitly worth a new visit if you are looking for a classy, comfy lounge bar to chill with a beer and watch some TV. Nice one Watercress! dancingshoe - 3 Mar 2010 13:38 |
| I agree with some of what you all say, but more with lawrence. I was in there last saturday and it was heaving with people so dont think they have to worry about profit. But I do get the point about the owner. The man who is the owner is great and so are the staff. The female owner does seem a always flapping around and looks in a panic. You tend to get served quicker when he is working as the staff seem more organised too. Love the decor and the colours are amazing and swish. Good to see a pub with lots of seating and loads upstairs too. As I was leaving on a Friday, which was also really busy, I heard many saying to the doorstaff how great the place was. Whatever my opinion doesnt matter as success is down to numbers visiting and its always busy when I am in there. Love it! Dont change it as its working! viki_da_babe - 4 Feb 2009 09:32 |
| I don't visit Hereford very often and I can't consider myself to have any great knowledge of the pub scene here, but having read the reviews so far I now feel inclined to venture my opinion. I tried Zombies purely on the recommendation of some friends who were informed that it was a newly-opened 'sophisticated' bar that catered for a more mature clientèle. I can say with hand on heart that I have never come across a more inaccurate description of a public house! The décor was tacky, it looked as though the owner had painted it on the cheap whilst arguing with his wife over the colour, and the furniture is certainly not up to the standard of a 'sophisticated' bar. The Halloween themed prints on the walls coupled with a mannequin and some assorted market-stall nick-knacks were tacky in the extreme. What's more the place was empty compared to the other pubs in the town that evening. The handful of people who had braved the journey passed the bouncers at the door all seemed to be in their early twenties - not the chic professional set that seemed to be their target clientèle. I have to take lawrencedave to task over his statement that Zombies has an 'identity' and doesn't need a 'target audience'. I have worked for a major design and marketing company for a good many years and I cannot emphasise enough that this bar is confused in every aspect of it's business identity. I walked away totally unclear as to what this pub is trying to achieve. Judging by the lack of any real enthusiasm from the Hereford public I would say that this is proving extremely detrimental to it's profits. I would hazard a guess and say this bar is the offspring of a well-to-do horror fan and his mid-life crisis. It does not have the appearance of being conceived and managed by somebody with a huge amount of experience in the bar trade. I could be wrong, and if so, I would be greatly interested to know just what sort of person came up with this idea for a business! I won't be back in Hereford for another three months but I will be dropping by Zombies again, but only out of curiosity to see if it has managed to weather the credit crunch and whether the local populace have turned up in enough numbers to keep it afloat. I wonder? JonTheMan - 2 Feb 2009 21:23 |
