Re: Fitzpatricks
I thought the real Fitzpatricks might be moving back into town.
Re: Fitzpatricks
Hope they can make a go of it. Town desperately needs somewhere people can go to start the night.

Is Fitzpatricks a generic “good craic” Irish bar?

Re: Fitzpatricks
This forum all over this. Someone’s taken on a pub. At the worse ever time to take on a pub. Done a good job of it. And it draws criticism.
They’ve done a good job of making the Thornton a very popular pub. So they definitely know what they’re doing and good luck to them. Can only be good for the town and the nightlife of the town.

Someone drives a 50k motor...idiot
Someone wears a £400 coat .... chav
Someone with a nicely paid job.... up his own arse
Talk about judging a book by its cover.
I can only presume these people are envious in some way.
I want absolutely every human to do well, succeed and be happy, and even more so my friends, i love seeing them doing well and/or happy.
it's a good thing people want to make a positive change, or make the their area, the town or its reputation better.
In a world where you can be anything, be kind!

Most of those commenting wouldn’t have the fist idea about running a business, a bar or selling beer.

Always quite liked it when it was the Brun Lea. Always a good place to meet up to start the afternoon/night.
Glad it’s been taken on. Fingers crossed they can fully open as soon as.

Re: Fitzpatricks
The only reason I sometimes dislike my hospitality job is peoples s**tty judgemental opinions.
If you don’t like it or it’s not for you just don’t go in that’s quite simple really.
The Industry is on its knees and someone putting their heart and soul into something, creating jobs etc and people just s**t on it.

I read the earlier comments this morning, and didn’t get why there were so many sneering at this.
What would people prefer? The property to remain vacant and an eyesore?
I don’t know the Fernavs personally, but I went to Habergham with them. Local people trying to make a go of it, and a good nightlife in Burnley is probably very important to our local economy.
Good luck to them.

Re: Fitzpatricks
Rawtenstall has undergone a renaissance in recent years. So many great spots for a drink. Hope Burnley can learn from its transformation
Re: Fitzpatricks
Burnley's got the tourism winning ticket because of the landscape and there's still enough left to make it better than Hebden Bridge, I've said it before.
It's only beer after all.

Re: Fitzpatricks
It's definitely still possible for smaller towns to have a decent nightlife. It's been done to death on here but first thing Burnley needs to do is stop places opening till 7am every week and get people into the habit of going out earlier again.JohnDearyMe wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 7:43 pmRawtenstall has undergone a renaissance in recent years.

I dont go in the thornton that often at all despite it being local. But get the impression its very popular and well run.
I know they have had it very **** since March last year. Yet despite this, rather than cut their losses or focus on their existing pub theyve taken this on. Good luck to them. Brave move and hope it works out.
Reminiscent of the comments on The Turf renovation.
I assume said posters all drink bitter...

The Irish quarter is coming along nicely. Joking aside I read it is not an Irish bar but named after a grandparent.
Good luck to them, good spot to start the day/night around town or mini bus and train journeys out of town.

Re: Fitzpatricks
House prices treble in Rawtenstall? Really? So a 4/5 bedroom detached house in Ightenhill, or Worsthorne would go for over a million in Rawtenstall? Fat chance. Give your head a wobble mate.

The topography is first class and that's why it suited the cotton weaving business.
The view from Sandygate Square is superb and I think a lot of Italians came to Burnley after the war because it's more Italianate than Portmeirion and a living citadel of sorts, situated on the edge of civilization.
When Conte comes to Turf Moor, it's the far-side of Rome, as the edge of that dynasty, so a long way from home, for him.

Re: Fitzpatricks
Oh come on. I could have shown you the massive barn conversion right at the bottom of Ightenhill Park Lane, with the 10 bedrooms, swimming pool and cinema etc etc. Was £4.75M a few yrs ago. There’s always an odd exception to the norm. But your statement was prices in Rawtenstall are treble. That’s simply not true, and I don’t have an axe to grind, I don’t live in Burnley.
