Been my local for as long as I can remember, when Sizzler reopened some years ago it seemed to be bit plush for an estate pub, unfortunately this is now becoming reality. The place hasn't had a decent manager in at least 5 years, the bar staff seem to have more say than the manager. It really is not nice seeing such a good social watering hole fall into such a state. Why do these breweries try to micromanage so much.

Yes all gone - I can remember going in all of them and having a great time - they were buzzing with entertainment and plenty of people to socialize with

ALPINE had great discos and great atmosphere

We used to get people to pretend to be our mum or dad to get into the SOUTH END CLUB

NESBIT was always packed and had bands and entertainment on

I used to go to the TELEGRAPH to meet someone I was having an affair with

GARTH was a bit up market, but great to go and pretend I was sophisticated

Went in there today for a pint and couple of observations:

1. Loud random music while the football was on. Like they couldn't decide which audience to cater for.
2. Never realised what a huge beer garden they have. Needs some TLC but could be great for kids with a few things put in there!
