Silvers changes colour - again...

Silvers, commonly known as the old Coiners bar on Silver Street on Halifax is to change it’s name - again!

The bar, which is becoming a bit of a nightmare venue for many bar managers is to change it’s name and management again. This time it’s losing it’s Silvers name and changing colour to.. Bar Rouge, or Rouge.

The new owners, who currently own La Salsa & Barbarellas, also situated on Silver Street plan to make the venue into a wine bar & restaurant. The plans for the top floors of the premises are still unknown.

The previous names of the venue have been: Silvers (2006-Present Day), Nv (2002-2005) and it’s name which still stands as its most popular remembered monicker, Coiners (1995 - 2002).

A brief cameo for the angels!...

The Halifax Street Angels, a local volunteer service which patrols the streets of Halifax on a regular basis have included some footage of Dannie presenting an intro to their 3 minute street report on the Street Angels website. The organisation aids the police and other local authorities in maintaining the streets of the Town Centre every weekend. Dealing with incidents such as informing the police about revellers who are voilent towards other members of the public.

Recently they were in Halifax with their cameras and they passed the Cell bar on Georges Square and Dannie happened to be having a cigarette break at the time, so they asked him to do a quick take for their video - which they eventually used at the beginning and end of the footage.
