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.
Least we have the Vulcan in St Fagans now, they can’t shut that one down…..
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.
Brexit has also had a big effect on hospitality.
Cost of living , pay freezes , change in habits.
Hardly suprising businesses going to the wall.
if they ever get it built, its only been 10 plus years **Least we have the Vulcan in St Fagans now, they can’t shut that one down…..
** I haven't been to St Fagans since end of last summer, so they might have got a shift on and its now built
the going to the pub habit has gone for many, Covid meant we realised we can do other things, I used to go to the pub with some of my teams other coaches once a month, now we go for a meal
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.
Good one. Barman, barman, can I clutch a few straws with my lemonade please?
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
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 .
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.
Pubs just got very expensive - £10 for a Gin & Tonic, £6.40 a pint, Feck me the day's of going in rounds are well over. £13 for a packet of fags.
£6.40 a pintWhere’s that?
London - That's for a pint of Ale£6.40 a pint
£6.40 a pint
Corporation £7.10p Guinness
I can see you becoming a regular
nd that is a big factor on the estates like Rumney, Trowbridge, St Mellon’s ,Llanedeyrn & Llanrumney cheap tins bought on mass from nearby supermarkets , almost everyone has a car or sorts now, unlike in my day where as youngsters (ie just out of puberty ) your main objective as a lad in Llanrumney was sneaking into pubs in Old St Mellons like the, Cross Bluebell , Star , White Hart and Fox and Goodies in Llanrumney etc ..
Kids of same age now are locked in their bedrooms killing people via call of duty , i'd rather a cider or playing footy
It's crap as well. Went there a while ago, greeted by someone who told us where we could and couldnt sit (despite covid finishing) said we could go to one table but only for an hour as someone else had booked it. Place was busy, full of hipsters dressed as working class folk, taking photos of their pints or applying a variety of filters to the photo just taken before uploading to instagram. Don't think they took cash, was expensive and full of street food which is basically food that costs double the cost of food you actually buy on the street. Everyone looked miserable as sin. Plastic glasses too. Rubbish. As was the old Corporation mind, mainly because it was the exact opposite of the above! Something in the middle suits me!
No wonder young people are so unhappy.
How many times,, you cannot have a “plastic glass”, it’s either a “glass” or a “plastic receptacle” !
£7.10 and served in a plastic glass... err, I mean.. 'receptacle'?
I used to be a regular Guinness drinker back in the day. I would often give the bar person a 'look' if they gave me anything other than a proper Guinness glass (Guinness and harp logo).
£7.10 for a guiness. Fookinhell, that's criminal.. that's more expensive than temple bar !
