Commercial Inn to change hands

[Frosty]

Best wishes John and Family , you ran a fantastic local.
Great memories of lots of Wednesday afternoon around the pool table when I was home on leave , and always ( even to this day ) the first place to have a pint in when back in town.

I'll be checking the new landlords soon.

Cheers

Is it open yet?

my my, thep, but you are impatient.. What's it been, four days?

[Bobbie En Tejas]

I've actually been in there myself. I can see it now, all the noses pressed against the window and hands cupped around the forehead trying to peer in. I think a great idea would be to put a webcam on the inside pointing towards the windows

(Sorry Davie... i feel your pain )

I heard they were unsuccesful in gaining the licence??

[daftdog]

I heard its being turned into an Irish Theme Bar..lol.

Naw, Seriously, is this the only brewery owned pub in the toon???

Things will never be the same again.

Ive worked in 4 S&N owned pubs and every single one was money orientated. Is the new landllord/manager local?? I hope so, as it will need a local one to keep it the way it was, as the beer will be changing and people are used to their drink.

Good luck to the once faithful regulars.

The Brewery can take care of themselves.

Hopefully this will not become brewery owned-best pub in the town for me-all the best John-would never be the same unless owned by a local.I now live in Dumbarton and most pubs are brewery owned. The atmosphere in most is "false", prices are dearer and you dont get the same "crack".

It is brewery owned Alan - Scottish and Newcastle bought it. I would imagine to try and get their foot in what has traditionally been a Tennents Lager pub town. Strangely enough, I like the change of beers there will be as I think Tennents is completely over rated and is so inconsistent. Did pour a good pint mind you if you knew how to however.

I am afraid it will change because people were used to the way the McKinlays ran it and use to their bar staff.

I lived in Dumbarton for a while and liked the Railway Tavern for a pint. Good craic in there

Been in the railway tavern for quite a few-too tempting for a last pint after a few after work . !!!. Where did you live in dumbarton ? What is your name anyway ??

Station Road which was handy!

With regards who I am, I have seen you posting this on a number of occasions - the concept of forums are for people not to identify themselves although I haven't made a good job of that.

I thought a forum, was an outlet of discussion, the fact the many people wish to remain annonymous is up to them.

Alan if you care to look back, the evidence is there as to who the P is.

Okay - yours is correct. Just not common to ask directly on forums who you are.

This is the 1st time i have been a member of a forum-was not aware of that-oh well -every one knows my name now anyway !!

But it could all be a ruse, and you could just be an interesting person masquerading as Alan Kincaid

Well good luck to whoever is going to be running the Comm. They've got a very hard act to follow- few pubs offered as friendly and pleasant welcome to customers as that given by Anne, John and the rest of the staff.
