By Anna Bowden An American-inspired plasma screen dancefloor was unveiled at the re-opening of The Strand's Coyote Bar last night. Sixteen screens have been butted together to form the bar's new feature which is part of a revamp that has taken about two months to complete since the bar went into receivership. Theraised floor was inspired by the latest craze in the United States and produces a brilliant light display underfoot. It will be accompanied by popular dance music to get the toes tapping. Still being fitted one hour before the official opening at 5pm, and with one screen shattered in the process, the show went on with about 150 guests celebrating its completion. The Grumpy Mole Saloon owner took over the franchise of the Coyote Street Bar and Restaurant, which went into receivership in May. Riki Walls, one of two new co-owners of Coyote, hoped the raised dance floor would make a big difference to the bar's fortunes. The music would probably target a slightly older age group than that of the Grumpy Mole Saloon, with less hip-hop and more popular dance music. Extra booth seating has been installed including a corporate booth that will seat up to 12 people. Armstrong and Walls Ltd paid an undisclosed sum to receiver Anthony Harris to take over the running of the bar. Shane Armstrong began the Grumpy Mole Saloon franchise, after opening the first western-styled bar in Napier in 1996. He then established the Tauranga saloon on The Strand a year later. The franchise now has six Grumpy Mole bars in the country and two Lone Star restaurants in Tauranga and Hamilton.
