00:00 No, I better just go in for it but I just need to get that line in there.
00:05 Hi everyone and welcome to Maggie's Rock and Rodeo, your country music bar and home of
00:12 the Hoedown which is our basement bar.
00:15 We are re-open and we cannot wait to meet you all.
00:18 We're now in our absolutely fantastic main bar area and as you can see when you look
00:23 around we have changed some stuff but it's still the good old Maggie's.
00:27 We've got our live entertainment stage ready and instead of one or two acts a night we've
00:32 got live music five nights a week from Wednesday all the way through to Sunday every evening
00:38 and from live bands to duos all that is all there to entertain you and come in and get
00:45 a drink along with some brand new cocktails including our Cotton Eye Joe cocktail and
00:50 Mudslide.
00:51 We also have a new range of Americana beers and can you check out our brand new Scotland
00:58 flag feature in the gantry.
00:59 I love it.
01:01 Welcome to the bull pits.
01:03 This is brand new to Maggie's and we have our very own rodeo riders and we want to welcome
01:11 you and invite you to come down and see if you can beat the time on the clock.
01:16 It is such a fun night to spend with your friends, bring them all down, group bookings,
01:20 everything or just come down every Wednesday to Sunday from four o'clock we have the bull
01:27 pit open and we want you to come and test out your bull riding skills.
01:33 This is program A and it gets faster as it goes further on and so at 30 seconds it gets
01:42 harder and starts faster and bucking more and only 12 people have managed to last two
01:50 minutes on this because it gets so fast.
01:55 You can do it.
01:56 Is it like constantly blown up?
01:59 No, we put the two things in when it's not in use.
02:03 Is it always like, is that blown up?
02:05 Yeah, that's inflatable bed.
02:07 See it's getting faster.
02:10 Okay, let's go and introduce you to the whole down.
02:15 It's time.
02:16 Come through here.
02:17 Our very own Maggie's cowgirl.
02:23 Welcome you to downstairs.
02:25 Welcome to the whole down, the home of the honky tonk, line dancing and more.
02:31 Coming soon.
02:32 We've got our cowboy Kaylie every Friday evening.
02:34 So keep an eye on our socials and see what is coming for that and what other events we've
02:38 got coming up in the future.
02:40 We've got live country music down here.
02:42 Fridays and Saturdays we're open and you can book in for groups, hem parties, corporate
02:47 bookings, office parties, whatever you're looking for.
02:50 And we've got a fab massive bar down here.
02:53 DJs, live music.
02:54 It's all happening in the whole down.
02:56 We've had a six week program of works where we've actually remained open at the weekends
03:00 as well.
03:01 So it's been pretty hectic, but we've done an entire new revamp of the basement and turned
03:07 it into obviously the fabulous whole down.
03:09 So everyone will notice a massive change, but we've also introduced elements like the
03:14 bull pit and that allowed us to change seating, all sorts of stuff.
03:17 The bar gantry got changed and all the things to bring the venue to life and countryify
03:23 it.
03:24 That's what we worked on.
03:25 We've also done a wee revamp of our food menu and not only have we kept the classic burgers
03:31 and nachos, but we've also introduced a whole host of party platters.
03:35 My favorite's the chip platter.
03:37 Five different types of chips, five different sauces.
03:40 What more could you want?
03:41 Just look up the alcohol.
03:42 But we also have introduced pizza slices.
03:45 So we've got strips, wee slabs and big slabs for you all to share and enjoy as a group
03:50 or individually.
03:51 What's a country bar without our very own stables?
03:55 So make sure you check out the toilets when you're here.
03:58 Introduce yourself to Shania and Taylor, absolute country legends with their very own place
04:05 in Maggie's.
04:06 Country music is amazing.
04:07 We all love it and there is such a following for country music in Scotland and we want
04:12 to be the home of a good time, but also the home of country music.
04:17 But we haven't lost the good old elements of Maggie's.
04:20 We've still got live music.
04:21 We're a rock and rodeo.
04:23 We're not just rodeo.
