It's open, and it's ace. We need to promote this place across the RL community.

What with a real ale pub, a gentleman's club and a hotel all on the same street think I'll open a late night chemist.

Good to hear, how much are we talking for a pint?

Depends what you're drinking. I think Brooklyn in the most expensive at £4 a pint - but they've said it's really expensive for them to get it in. I'd expect normal town prices.

They're open Tues-Sunday at the minute. Might look at opening on Monday's too if there is the demand. They've got a facebook page that they'll be updating daily - and the website is [url=http://http://www.9gallon.co.uk9 Gallon[/url

I'm with Yed on this one. I gave up the sauce 15 months ago. Never felt better.

Brooklyn? Superb!

But I'm not drinking at the moment unless it's some kind of ocassion. As the next one is my birthday, then I guess it will be 4-5 weeks before I try it.

Not fussed about this drinking lark anymore, finally realised it's not all it's cracked up to be. Plus I'd rather not waste a day of a weekend in bed recovering.

Goodness me, what a lot of "dry" wires fans we have on here. I too gave up the grog three years ago on the advice of my mother, irate neighbour, local constable and solicitor.

Maybe us teetotal wire fans could open a wires-themed beverage shop. We could call it "Tea-Cocoa-Love"

Arf, arf. Such wit @ 11:30PM when I should be tucked up in bed in my winnie-the-poo onesie.

Well I am still an avid drinker so will be frequenting this establishment

me too, enthusiastic amateur

Yeah, I know John, he's an alright lad!

Went in after the game last night, we'll impressed! Eight cask ales on tap and the lad behind he bar was very knowledgeable, offering a few samples. Will definitely be going back!

It may be worth getting a list of all the pubs/clubs people use and listing what each has on tap, use it as a guide for home and away fans

Tried it for the first time, last night.

VERY cramped, and that was only at 6:30

£2.50 for a pint of 4.8% stuff which was ok.
However, the present Mrs Goldblatt was accompanying me, and the large wine she had (which wasn't exactly huge) was an eye-watering £4.70. OUCH

They don't sell brandy??????? WTF?

On the whole, I wouldn't avoid the place by any means, but I don't think I'll be sprinting back. Give me Wilkies Tavern (yes, I know this place is run by a Wilkinson) any day

I went in on Friday. It's only small in there but was packed. I'm not much of a real ale drinker so just got a pint of Brooklyn as it was too busy to be messing around asking questions and trying stuff out. The barman apologised for it being £4.20 but I knew that's how much they were.

Like Lefty, we were in there around 6:30ish.

Trying it out this Friday..

Same here.

4.20 for a pint jesus wept...

That's the way it's going. I was charged £4.80 for a Peroni in the Rams Head last year.

Charlie prefers Walkers Salt and Shake .

That is ridiculous for a generic lager, I think £4.20 is fair enough for Brooklyn though, supply and demand.

if thats the prices they are charging then they wont be getting my custom...i`ll be sticking to conny club...

It might be £1.50 for Tetleys in the club or £1.70 for Carlsberg but it's cheap and nasty stuff, in the nicest way the new(ish) bars around Springfield Street are trying to be a bit more upmarket and attract a different clientele or those who appreciate the good stuff. Like saying why buy vintage wine when Bargain Booze has lambrini for a quid!

I thought you'd have preferred Custard Pies in the face, a soda syphon down your trousers, and the doors falling off your car when you get home.

Charlie knows

'Kin hell, it's only £3.80 in LONDON

Its a nice bar, the Brooklyn is pricey but the rest are reasonable, they are getting cask ciders in too so that will be good.
