Pub Closures

[splott parker]

Strong rumours that The Cross Inn (Rumney), The New Bridge (Trowbridge), The Willows (St Mellon’s) & The Retreat (Llanedeyrn) are for the chop. We’ll all be back singing around the piano in the front room eventually at this rate.

Re: Pub Closures

Since lock-down many of the pub teams, skittles, darts, pool etc. failed to reform. It’s difficult to find a pub that hasn’t turned into a restaurant pub to survive. Many pubs in my local area close 2-3 days a week and even then only open in the evenings. There used to be 8 pubs in my local town, now there are only 2 open.

Still at least piano sales could be on the up.

Should inflation continue to rise as it is with people having less disposable income to spend then for many at the top of the list for what they need to forego will be visits to pubs, restaurants and fast food outlets.

Cans from the supermarket around the barbie doesn't help.

Re: Pub Closures

Brexit has also had a big effect on hospitality.

Cost of living , pay freezes , change in habits.

Hardly suprising businesses going to the wall.

Just looked it up.
They started on the roof two months ago

in 2020, the museum’s specialist team began reconstructing the iconic pub at its new site on the museum grounds. Building work is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023. It will function as a real pub and people will be able to go for a drink, but the opening date has not yet been confirmed. Today (May 10) work began to fit the roof of the pub.

Don't hold your breath.

Re: Pub Closures

A lot of pubs seem to dying , just catering for the hardcore boozers

Boring feckers who prop the bar up talking about their never seen golf swing or how they were a useful footballer many years ago

I go through town centres , Bridgend for example and there is no crowd of any sort in any of the pubs

It's really sad when the pub is part of the community but many has been losing the will to live for many years and covid has finished them off

Re: Pub Closures

Pubs are, and have been for sometime, becoming more of a middle class pursuit. The loss of estate pubs, the rise in social media, the rise in 'beer snobbery' leading to higher priced brands coming to the fore, rises in property values etc etc.

Trip to the pub can be an expensive business nowadays. The worst thing is, it is there poorer edge of city areas that need community facilities (pubs included) more than anywhere.

I think when you are younger a pub or bar with your mates , lots of lovely ladies and music is great

But after a few years you get bored . Or rather I did .

Re: Pub Closures

Sadly the youngsters doesn't want any of this stuff , perhaps it will uplift the footfall in places like the Legion and other social clubs that oldies flock too our local one serves quality beer at £3.20/ 30 , I note recently youngsters do now pop in as a starting venue as they don't want to pay the wine bar prices of £5.50 a pint for the same beer all night long

Cardiff city centre pubs seem to be thriving, in fact there seems to be new establishments springing up. Used to be that a night out began with a few cheapies in your local before heading to town. Not so now, the outlying boozers are as dear, if not dearer than town.
