A pint and a fight please, bartender
09/08/06
ANGER release bars which allow drinkers to order a beer and beat the hell out of the waiter are set to hit the UK.
The boozers are already a smash in China where frustrated workers get the chance to vent their fury on staff who are trained not to fight back.
Customers can also smash glasses, shout and scream, and even talk to a psychologist if they need some counselling.
Some drinkers pay extra to get the staff to dress up as their bosses or personal enemies.
And the keenest customers are said to be scorned women who
happily part with the £10 admission.
The idea is not likely to find favour with traditional no-nonsense British landlords as portrayed by comic Al Murray, 38. But several Brit entrepreneurs and pub chains have been monitoring their success.
One insider said: "There’s a lot of money to be made from this.
"The market is desperate for a new winning formula to match the success of previous winners such as the Irish theme bar."
But Tony Payne, Chief Executive of the Fed-eration Of Licensed Victuallers, said: "We want to get rid of the violence – not encourage it."
Go J. Go.
