Smash Palace

Last update by owner was 5 years ago. I realize the owner died but new ones haven't put anything on website. Now to the problem. Refused entry last night because they were full. This i understand but 20 people had left during my ten mins there yet the doorman kept saying we're full. Got told same thing by lady owner today! Ummm, don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining! Obviously not full if 20 people leave the bar while I'm standing there. I ran a bar for over 20 years and would be horrified if my staff threw money and goodwill away like this. Website said open til 1am and this was 10.30. Welcomed into several bars in town afterwards. I'll try again one day soon, see if a hardworking truck driver can get a beer at this establishment. Bar staff were great last time I was there, owner and security... Not so much. How can a bloke believe u when u say full up yet people leaving in droves with still over 2 hours til closing? Thank you for the prompt reply to my review but still nothing's changed for me. I read how you run the tickets/full house thing but I'm one guy, on my motorcycle and 20 people at least had left and as I said at the time, I wanted one beer and to enquire re Datsun tickets. In the big scheme of things I doubt 20 people would've returned or the police or council would've turned up to do a head count, which of course would've turned out fine. Fail to see how one guy wanting one beer could've caused even the slightest bit of grief for smash palace. Caused a fair bit of bad will though! As a end note your gender didn't have the slightest thing to do with anything, I simply mentioned the lady owner. If it was a guy I would've said the dude that owned it....
