Kmcalpin Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Did anyone visit Mrs Baillie tonight? What was it like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellgirl Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 No. Looked for it. Couldn't find it - not well signposted. Gave up and went to the Cooper bar - apparently the turnout was decent though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxteth O'Grady Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 I saw quite a few people being turned away as it was full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellgirl Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 I actually thought I had gone to the wrong place - I hadn't but it was full by 6pm, the gates were closed when I turned up and there were also apparently issues with stock as well. I wasn't turned away, I didn't ask to get in but some people were turned away - it was very busy by the sounds of it. The well society said they are going to try and rectify things by the official opening date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume its located on the spare ground at the unfinished end of the POD stand, if it is there is a distinct lack of signage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, Its in what was/is the memorial garden and Its the disabled fans entrance at the very end of the POD stand you use to access it but no signs up yet . I'm assuming that's something the Well Society will address as it confused a lot of people on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 All the details were on the Society's web page (although it wouldn't hurt to have a sign) https://thewellsociety.uk/2025/07/24/grab-a-friday-night-brew-in-the-new-well-society-fan-zone-before-hertha/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted July 28 Author Report Share Posted July 28 Seems to have been very successful on Friday evening, with the club's income being boosted consideably. Thats just what we need to increase off the field turnover. A few teething problems though, which the Society will will take up with the club.

Jonesy Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 It's also definitely sign posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claretband Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 So if it's a "beer garden" and not a pub...will it close in the Winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i am aware its a beer garden with little or no shelter/ cover. In Scotland it will be lucky to be open on matchdays given the weather we have.

weeyin Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 I'm sure I read that they plan to weather proof it at some point to make it more usable year-round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 A lot of pubs ‘weather-proofed’ their outdoor spaces during Covid when they were only permitted to open outdoors so I’m sure it could be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think the Beer Garden sign is from last season, and the official opening will see it renamed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKWellfan91 Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 Thought i would pop on to give some context and feedback on some of the comments We are looking to have new signage in place for Kilmarnock for our Official opening for Mrs Baillies Bar around the stadium which will replace the current beer garden signage. Unfortunately the club can't obtain a licence for Rangers and Celtic games so these are the only games we foresee Mrs Baillie's bar being closed through the season. It is our hope with added planned cover in the Fan zone that fans will start to view the bar as an extension of our Hospitality offering regardless of the weather, thus increasing matchday revenue for the club. We used the Hertha game as a test case to try things out where we actually hoped we would find some areas we can make smoother ahead of the Killie game at home .All in all it was a great opportunity to do this given the attendance we had on the night. I should thank the club staff here as well who have been a fantastic support to me and Sean leading up to the installation and throughout the night at the Hertha game in particular. A huge thank you to everyone who supported the club on the night of the Hertha game , I hope we can continue the fantastic pre match attendance going forward and i hope the society can continue to fund aspects of fan engagement opportunities that enhance the match day experience and provide new revenue streams into the club. Thanks for your continued support Greg 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone can't figure out the way because the sign only says Beer Garden on it they shouldn't be near alcohol and probably shouldn't be allowed out unsupervised. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Unfortunately due to NLC licensing restrictions which were placed on us as condition on application for the original beer garden something I personally hope over time will ease in the future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
