There is no chance of any of the City pubs shutting down if this weather keeps up. I've been past the Grapes three times today... every time its heaving. Who still has a job in the City that can go out and quaff pints for 3 hours at a time? Everyone says that that behaviour is in the past in the City these days... it isn't around here!

Planning application action for The Whody has been withdrawn and pub won’t now be “partially demolished”. At least for the time being. Not surprised they’d had no interest at the £1.2m price tag.
Does also say that the developer claimed the pub wasn’t economically viable. I struggle to believe that knowing that @clive drinks there!! 😉

Economically viable is a very spurious term, which means yeah its sustains itself and turns a small profit but we can make more money doing something else.
It's a great shame they opened the deli and then it failed. It was very popular and badly missed by many of the regulars. Luckily The Star is shining so we still have a decent boozer to drink in.

the City is still alive and well - Tues to Thurs anyway - all the pubs heaving these days
I don't get the complaints about The Trafalgar. People have told to the council that it's stopping access... To what? That path along the Thames leading to the Cutty Sark is about two foot wide. The Trafalgar section is one of the widest parts!
It was very nice to see @Rock Spectacle in his home top outside the Rusty Bucket in Eltham last night, getting a hug from a random man who was also in a Charlton top (this chap drank half a pint then cleared off on his bike)

Was in Norwich on Saturday night and every pub was heaving, except for Brewdog
Can't say I've ever been in a Brewdog pub/bar or ever drunk any of their beers - always seemed a bit faddy and gimmicky to me.
Problem with that is that's it's fine while it lasts, but when people move on to the next fad or fall for the next gimmick, then where does that leave you? Shutting pubs is where.
Comments
Unlikely to stay in the family as from what i've been told a lot of money was owed to the brewery.
Probably more chance of this working than reopening as a boozer.

A cracking pub from years ago, glad it's opening up again.
