New GM at Baa Bar

New GM at Baa Bar

With the recent appointment of James Cunningham as the new GM at Baa Bar on Sackville St, we caught up with him to find out a bit more..

 

Q..So James, what has brought you to Baa Bar?

 

A..Let's be honest, Baa Bar has been everyone's guilty pleasure for such a longt time, but with so many new places opening and prices slashed here there and everywhere, it's become a little forgotten, so I have being tasked with reminding people of the fun you can have in Baa Bar.

 

Q..Does this mean there are huge changes in the pipeline?

 

A..The biggest change you will see over the coming months is there will be always be something happening, whatever night you want to come in. The difference is it won't always be about cheap drinks, but about having fun and wanting to be in a fun environment. Our fabulously filthy shooters are definitely our USP, but also the fact that you can come and have amazing cocktails - and always drink out of a proper glass! There are some cosmetic changes coming in the coming months but first and foremost it's about getting the entertainment right so people know they are going to have a good time.

 

Q..You've been a familiar face around Manchester for some time, does this give you a unique insight into what you want to achieve?

 

A..Absolutely - from the luxurious ABode Hotel to my fun days at View, a gastro pub in the Midlands through to a funky grill and bar in London, I've certainly earned my stripes, but the only unique insight you need is that you need to give the people what they want in a clean, safe and happy environment - do that and you are on your way.

 

Q..Does all this work mean there is no play, and therefore no man on the horizon?

 

A..Haha.. well I'm definitely single.. and this job is certainly going to take up a lot of my time, but you should never say never!

 

Q..What other venues do you enjoy around the village?

 

A..I've frequented all of them over the years I've been around the village, but these days I can usually be found putting the world to rights at the bar of Taurus with Jean and Mr Scott... why would you doubt it?
