New Spoons for Brighton...

[The Brighton Bear]

Andre Spooner = complete nutter.

Is the pavement wide enough when they put tables and umbrellas outside ?

 

[cannedheat]

Any chance of a close up on the brunette in the blue dress?!

Transexual on his/hers way back to Kemp Town.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Knew I should have asked on here where it was rather than reply on the spastics on the Argus wesbite.

I preferred it when it was PEPPERS.

Thats RIGHT I was trying to remember! PEPPERS!

 

[Simon Morgan]

Is he going on about his Mighty Horse? In which case, he is

Yes

what's the point in two SPOONS in the town centre?!

i mean, it's probably be a success and all that.......but really.......what's the point?!

The other one is f***ing bollocks to be fair.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

but how will this one be any different? just another city centre weatherspoons.......it'll be basically the same as the other one...same clientelle, same sticky carpet, same cheap booze

the SAME

 

[Simon Morgan]

I think its a better location, and will probably make for a slightly nicer pub.

If certain Herring still lives near Eastbourne it MIGHT have something to do with the licensing process.

I liked that Saquarra bar or whatever it was called. I am surprised SPOONS have not snapped up the old Borders shop, prime location and over two floors.

Anyone know what is going on with that buidling, any plans?

Wouldn't there be licensing problems with that? As the Argus article said, the new Spoons pub only got its licence after making some changes - and that was a bar previously - I can't see a pub in a former bookshop getting away with it so easily.

 

[Soul Finger]

Good shout Wilko. Spoons is much better suited to that part of town.

I sincerely hope this doesn't mark the start of the North Laine area becoming like every other town in the country.

Wetherspoons are cheap, tacky, poor-quality, homogenised, atmosphere-less, shitholes.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

but no sporks?

A mate of mine reckons this one will have, wait for it, MUSIC!!!!! Unlike all the others because they are too tight to take out Public Performance Licences. This is going to be the first of many new Spoons so equipped

I've noticed that once a Wetherspoons opens the charity and pound shops move into the area too.

This Wetherspoons is in North Street which is already home to a 99p store, charity shops, a Greggs,a Burger King and plenty of other crap or empty shops before the Spoons have even rolled out their sticky carpets.

 

[Joe Pineapples]

Disappointing news. This town didn't need another awful Spoons.

 

[Spun Cuppa]

It's funny when you go out on a pub crawl with your mates and when you go in a Wetherspoons, EVERYBODY wants to get their round in that particular bar

I haven't been back home for 4 years so I know about the 99p and charity shop at the top of North St with Burger King basically over the road from them , my concern is the empty shops which will end up as Cash Converters , Poundland , Starbucks , Tesco Express etc etc.
