Bar opens in London for drinkers with hearing problems

Drinking causes hearing problems

Strictly speaking, that’s not necessarily true! A bar for people with hearing problems has opened in London! The perfect place for a quiet drink (I’ll get my coat)…

There are so many bars in London to choose from. What’s different about this watering hole? The bar staff have hearing problems themselves – they can sign, there is a deaf security guard, a hard of hearing DJ, there are bright lights at the bar with pens & paper, the fire alarm has a flashing light, the signs are in sign language and English. In a word – access!

Salsa, zumba, and DJ workshops are planned where people can be taught to read beats and play instruments. This is a great idea as so many deaf people “feel” the music rather than hear it.

What’s the bet they’ll have subtitles on their television and allow entry to Hearing Dogs?!

They also welcome hearing people. (You are allowed to drink too)
