Bar fight

Today several hundred kilograms of a bar went missing: Not an april fool! #studioblog #klangkellerei

The whacky bar in the main room of the former club had several flaws; Not only did the drain pipe still carry some remnants of former contents, the beverage pipe lines also were partly filled. At least where these liquids hadn’t run behind dividing walls and the floor they would drip out of the lovelessly cut ends that were lying around everywhere. The sticky, smelly conglomerate of disgust had really been soaked up by the ply wood elements of the bar thus macerading the wood to unrepairable extend. Colonies of wood fungi seemed to be flourishing underneath the counter where it had been dark for a long time.

Eletronic devices had been removed with a crowbar (without actually been taken out of order); During our work we even found some uncleaned ash trays and half used-up liquids for the missing devices…

Because we intend to have a bar in the future social room we are going to keep parts of this really bizarre piece of furniture in order to clean, restore and reuse it in memory of it’s past.

See how we dismembered the steel giant here:

Sometimes only disbelief is apropriate as a reaction to what we find behind panels…
Prying out drain pipes is a disgusting job.
The first half of the bar’s roof has come off.
Bottom part being cut off the floor consoles
The bar’s interior. Quite an impressive construction.
The roof is down – another heavy part beeing carried away.

 

Soon…
And most of it is gone.
