"a rip-roaring study of wisdom through excess" 
**** The Herald
"deliciously raw and excellently staged"
**** Edinburgh Spotlight
"the performance in a sensory pleasure, vivid, vigorous and in vino veritas." Northings
"This production makes understandable the impressive reputation for site-specific work that Grid Iron have cultivated for over a decade." Exeunt
"Having enthralled audiences and critics alike at the Fringe in 2009, Grid Iron's Barflies... now sets out to prove its worth outside the rarified festival atmosphere. And on viewing it, it is clear that the wedge of awards and nominations it carries in its back pocket is no product of the Fringe Bends, but the true appreciation of a genuinely engaging piece of work... another triumph from Grid Iron."
**** AE Annals of Edinburgh Stage
A huge sell-out and award winning success during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2009 for Scottish site-specialists Grid Iron, Barflies is a visceral look at the pains and glories or drunkenness and all the humour, horror, hope and devastation it can bring.
Drawn from the short-stories and poems of cult American writer Charles Bukowski, Barflies is a rumbustious encounter with his alter-ego Henry Chinaski and a bevvy of the women who shaped his life and work.
Barflies is touring to pubs and theatre bars all over Scotland and signals the company's first visit to Wales. Be sure to catch it when it comes to a bar near you!
PLEASE NOTE: Doors open 30 minutes before performance. Please arrive in good time if you would like to buy a drink as the bar will close for orders 10 minutes before performance. 18+ Contains adult material
