New Century Bar

The man who owns the shop round the corner from where i live owns this bar, so i thought i would give it a go. My friend Lisa is a karaōke diva and loves to belt out a good tune, so once we knew that they did karaōke on Sunday evenings, we decided to head there.
The bar was busy but spacious, with a really mixed crowd of people. Young and old sat together, people who looked like they would be more at home in the Cathouse mingled with tanned, blonde barbie doll lookalikes. It was quite a surreal crowd, the likes of which it’s very rare to find.
We had a great night and vowed to go back again, especially on karaōke night!

Despite never having been to New Century Bar prior to a change in management, given what I’ve been told by previous patrons of this pub I would have to say that the new management have done a world of good. It was not as busy as I had expected a pub in Motherwell to be at 9 P.M. but the atmosphere was vibrant nonetheless, helped by a group of friendly locals at the bar who became loudier and funnier with each passing round.
Football was shown on flatscreen TVs around the room with speakers providing music as a soundtrack. The lone barman was as nice as they come, and despite coming across as rather quiet and shy he was often involved in conversation with friendly drinkers at the bar and could be seen having a joke and a laugh with them.
I can imagine weekends at New Century Bar have an atmosphere unmatched by most pubs in Motherwell. Live bands play on Saturday nights while Sundays host karaōke so I will definitely be coming back one weekend to test my theory and would recommend others in the area to consider doing the same.
