A lot of places in town now the pints start with a £5+ if you drink anything other than the usual mainstream shite.
Get yourself up to the Victoria Park Pub and they do a lovely drop of Bayside by Brains for £3.50.
I see your reasoning but in a day it’s created more jobs, revenue and benefits for Canton than the boarded up building has in the last 7 years. There’s already 7 pubs/bars within a 2 minute walk of the Corp so another boozer wouldn’t have added any extra income to the area, just split it 8 ways instead of 7. At least this attracts more people to Canton that normally wouldn’t go there and spend money.
Also it’s hard to tell exactly from the article how many businesses are using the space but it seems like it’s at least 6 or 7. Barbers, book shop, cafe, bar, wine shop, food shop, youth hangout spot and possibly more on the way so I’m not sure if a hotel would’ve provided more jobs.
A friend of mine has been and he said the bar is run by Tiny Rebel.
We always shunned Taco Bell's in the US, its a fast food place, think Mcdonalds but full of Hispanics I guess you won't get many hispanics in the one at Pontyclun though ( nothing wrong with hispanics I might add )
then we indulged on one trip, 3 Burrito's, 2 lots of Fries and 2 Ice blast drinks, $14 ( thats a tenner ) the food was cooked fresh, it was tasty and we loved it, we Obviously didn't fit in and the other customers looked at us like we were Aliens, but were no bother
Our UK prices are not as cheap of course, but it was fairly decent, worth a go
Pubs are a thing of the past. Glad the building hasn’t just been left to rot
Canton a poor area ? Where havre you been all your life ? Have you noticed the cost of buying a house in the area ? You have to be well off to live there.
Always thought the Corporation would have made a good Premier Inn / Travelodge. Great location, Handy for the City Centre, close to all amenities etc Budget accommodation for visitors. Looked like a winner to me.
Where do they park?
Genuine question. It used to piss me off looking for hotels for work as you'd go online see the inviting price and then notice an add on for parking in areas like London, or there would be no onsite parking in places like Cambridge and you'd have to park in a multi story..
I mentioned it above, the PI in Liverpool has a " approved car park " that was a 20 min walk
My youngest played rugby at Twickenham and we stayed in a Travelodge the night before, had to park in a multi-storey down the road, cost about 20 quid in car parking fee's
