Carborundum Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Well I've been in the last few days to check out the new look Brown Bear and I must say I was really really impressed with upgrade ! and how they managed to preserve its original character alsmot intact - although where are the theatre posters gone - are they under the new wallpaper? There were warm cosy real fires, new shiny bar counter top, new lights, the old pubby smells are replaced by the fresh smell of new carpet, even Showroom cinema guides on the bar - the mark of a real classy bar :-) Yes I agree with not_wanted that girl was behind the bar and then came out to the other side to continue drinking there but she seemed very friendly and attentive while on duty ! I just had the one so didnt check out the loos - instead making off to the Lions Lair to meet up with Mr S. Pete. and then had an early night alas !

happyhippy Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 It is not often you go back to a pub that you love that has been done up and think it's better. They have done a really good job on the place. Pity about the lack of smoking area which is fair enough as it did look like stalag19 before hand. Beer still cheap and quality. Toilets clean and fresh. Pity about the lack of proper coal in the fires ( bloody clean air act) and pity about the member of barstaff who was sat at bar when she wasn't on duty getting ****** and thought she could take the **** out of me because of the way I look and also take the residue of my mates pint before she had finished with it. All in all I'm surprised, it has all the bits of pubs I like. No TV, no jukebox, FIRE (yay), decent toilets, cracking beer as always. Good job all round and good to get one of the few decent pubs in the city centre back. Christ alone knows what she'd make of me then .......

KTHFB Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi, KTHFB! Will you pass this on to the new owners please? Will do - I was trying to search for your name and I must have spelled it incorrectly. I'll get the link sent to her for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gularscute Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 It's lost a bit of character with the removal of the theatre poster wallpaper but, thankfully, it's not changed much otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Been in today and a great night as always, taking into account the pints bought for me the overall average price I paid for a pint was under £1, even in the bb im normally lucky to average a 120p pint. Ive took two family members out for a drink today, and a meal, ccaught a train bus and taxi, atee thrice myself and had good few pints, for less than £30. nb. i didnt eat in the bb, just drank.
