Bar uses its 'negative' reviews to advertise itself - and scores a viral hit

Bars worried about poor reviews online need only follow this venue's example - and tell everyone their negative points. Because the Nevermind Bar has delighted fans and gone viral with their funny poster.

Staff decreed all of the worst things anyone has had to say about them online on reviews site Urban Spoon. It's the latest example of a smart response to the Trip Advisor world where everyone's opinions are shared worldwide within seconds.


The picture, shared on Imgur with the tagline 'Great advertising for a bar' showed that the complaints ranged from ambience to the bar staff: "Over-rated", "The beer was too cold", "Very un-traditional", "BBQ was sold out", "No empty seats", "It's not the Ritz" and "Guy behind the bar needs a shave".


The pay-off line at the bottom of the poster reads: "Come and see why 7% of people don't like us" - showing there's no such thing as bad publicity.
