New Pub - Vintage Claret
It looks like a new pub will be opening before the season. The old UDA building was a bit of an eyesore so it looks a huge improvement on Yorkshire Street.

Looks great. Let’s hope it’s jam packed full of great pictures from our past.

Re: New Pub - Vintage Claret
Hope it works out as it looks very nice but you have to wonder about the placement of such a bar and how it will do when there is no home match.

Re: New Pub - Vintage Claret
With the Park View/new name opening by Christmas it does give people an option to have a night out it reasonably recent refurbished pubs around the Culvert area, rather than venturing into town.
Prinny, Turf, Vintage, Miners, Brickies, View.
I’m not including the Oxford in that.
I hope locals support them.

Re: New Pub - Vintage Claret
Surely they aren't going for the upmarket/trendy bar vibe are they? Looks a bit that way going off the pictures, if they are I can't see it working in that area of the town.
Re: New Pub - Vintage Claret
I hope it sells a nice fizzy lager and cocktails with umbrellas. None of the real ale shite.

The interior doesn’t look like it belongs to the exterior. Vintage staircase and decor with track suits on a match day. Could work.
Re: New Pub - Vintage Claret
On the plus side with two new pubs hopefully opening there's the basis of a good pub crawl there now after a game starting at Park View and working your way down to the Prinny. Going for a beer in the town centre is incredibly depressing these days.

I love a creme de menthe, lime, soda, ginger and pomegranate seed cocktail before heading on the match.

Re: New Pub - Vintage Claret
Been inside it a month or so ago, obviously it was still being constructed but the lay out looks decent I just hope the prices will be because if they're not then fans will just go to the usual pubs which are a plenty.

And to open new premises in these times, you need plenty of quality.

Got to sell decent ale and be “kid friendly” otherwise we will stick with the fan zone on the rare occasions we have a prematch drink

Fair comment, most of the time it's about who runs it. They can keep the idiots out and still charge a fair price. On the other hand I would rather pay 3 quid for a decent pint than 2.50 for a **** one.

Re: New Pub - Vintage Claret
I could be, ha. Even The Turf Hotel was like that until they did it up a couple of years ago, and the Park View the same, and those pubs did/do get some idiots in. If an extra £0.20 to £0.50 per pint helps put the riff raff off then that’s got to be a good thing. I’d happily pay more for that.Quickenthetempo wrote:I think you're describing Harry's bar/Cross Keys from the mid 90s.

Re: New Pub - Vintage Claret
Had a look at it earlier and it improves the area no end. I hope it is a success and as others have mentioned it is correctly priced and forms part of the pre and post match regime. I think it is the midweek trade that is difficult in this area.
Re: New Pub - Vintage Claret
Will I get my pre match 5 pints of Fosters top in there, if not I'll stick to the Oxford thanks.

Re: New Pub - Vintage Claret
I think it can as there’s nowhere else in Burnley to become a pub crawl. My local shut recently and there was 40 comments from people bemoaning the fact it had shut and was sad times, yet none of them came in the pub? I’ll always use my locals because I don’t drink in my house but each to their ownThe Enclosure wrote:5 Pubs and 2 clubs within a 100 metres of each other is not going to work except perhaps on a match day.

Maybe not but Tex as previously mentioned is not a ‘newby’ He has a portfolio of pubs around Burnley and Padiham. It’s when he’s built them back up and flogs them they tend to go belly up.The Enclosure wrote:5 Pubs and 2 clubs within a 100 metres of each other is not going to work except perhaps on a match day.

Re: New Pub - Vintage Claret
Of course. Only tend to frequent 'spoons on away trips. When they can accommodate numbers, offer great range of beers at cheap prices (on our stop in London last year on our way to West Ham the dearest real ale was £2.15 with the cheapest being £1.89), allow kids in, cheap food, never any agro etc etc.Local cricketer wrote:Will you be visiting with it not been a spoons?
