10/12/11: It was birthday week for Ku Bar, and the tension was mounting!

Tulisa Contostavlos (yep, that’s her surname) is ready to throw a punch, Louis Walsh can’t stop seeing stars, Kelly Rowland keeps ‘Gettin’ Down’ with everyone and Gary Barlow thinks it’s fight night in Vegas.

Yes, it was also the X Factor Final (part 1) and our Saturday night was kick-starting right here at Ku Bar’s 16th birthday celebrations! [Spins around 360 and point in the air].

We all know by now that Little Mix won the big one on Sunday, which sent Tulisa into a frenzy worthy of an Academy Award, but I think it was Marcus who got the biggest cheer in Ku Bar on Saturday night… oh, well him and the Ku Bar boys when they took their tops off for my camera!

Owner Gary Henshaw had a great line-up of boys that duty for the bar’s monumental sixteenth birthday celebrations last Saturday night as you can see from these pages! YUM! Ku Bar is undoubtedly one of our favourite places in the city to drink, and long may she reign!
