Anyone else reckon the reign of the chain pub may be gradually coming to an end.
Now maybe it's just because i'm getting on a bit (28) and i'm moving away from the bright lights, ear drum peircing beats and silver bar stools. It seems to me as though taht any new refurb, trendy bar only tends to last a year or two before another shed load of cash has to be thrown at it to get the crowds back, where as any remaining traditional boozers keep going albeit in an un trendy plod along way.
Maybe brewery will realise that if they stop throwing loads of money at these super pubs they will make a steady but not astronomical amount of cash but keep customer sand loose the "trouble" element.
Or is it just wishful thinking.
