Satoshi’s Place, UK - Manchester

[batesresearch]

Hey,

Not sure where best to post this really but I am working to open a Bitcoin Hub in the UK which will be based in Bury, Greater Manchester.

Our goal is to Educate and onboard users into the Bitcoin space, of course we will be an actual business so will also be taking dirty fiat to pay the bills and suppliers!

We’ll have weekly workshops, a lightning bar, a lightning arcade, art space (Yes NFTs!), a custom lightning drinks menu (Including Brave Bull, Minetini, Gold rush etc) and plenty more on the planning!

Currently funding will cover us to open 3 days a week, probably 16:30/17:00 to 22:30 Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

The workshop and event schedule will be added to our site (and updated here) once we are open.

I’ve been screwed many times by the banks and expect to be again but my thought is that we’ll need this eventually so why not now!

The final parts to take place & complete before we can set an opening date:

- Interviews, essential is Bar staff but we’d ideally hiring a chef aswell
- Funding to buy some final equip, projector/screen & laptops are essential but TVs, custom beers & outdoor signage are ideal
- Fibre install (Up to 28 day install time) Ideally we’d like the Fibre setup before opening as this is a USP for hot-desking, for visitors and we think a must for workshops.

This is a fascinating venture, I'm a part of the TG group of Satoshi's Place, and I applaud you and your team to take up this venture, this is something the UK needs - and I'm proud it's based up north.

Keep up the group look, and I can't wait to check out the venue.

I really wish i can visit you one day, the place looks so wonderful and full of bitcoin vibes, it is the best community i want to be a part of, if i ever traveled to the uk i would certainly visit the place and buy a drink for everyone there. Lucky having a store like that nearby, beside enjoying your meal you will get more knowledge

Feel like I've seen your posts before, but I see you guys are doing a lot of Lightning stuff -- there's only one other active merchant-centric group I know of not too far away from where I live, they've been doing Lightning for a while now. Should do a cross-meetup with them, would be cool, now that you're no longer part of the union and it's post Covid
