b16hxx Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 That's interesting, I've seen the sign and was wondering what it's like. Is it a proper pub then, I wondered if it was just for functions? No its not just a function room the bloke behind the bar said they are open at weekends at night up stairs its got guest beers on decent bar actually not sure what time they serve till we went in about half 8 and there was about hala dozen in, its sound if you dont want any clowns spilling shandy on your shoes ! ---------- Post added 18-01-2013 at 12:24 ---------- No its not just a function room the bloke behind the bar said they are open at weekends at night up stairs its got guest beers on decent bar actually not sure what time they serve till we went in about half 8 and there was about hala dozen in, its sound if you dont want any clowns spilling shandy on your shoes ! *half a dozen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time2change Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hillsborough is not what it used to be for drinking, although we still have a good night, never had trouble but a night out is what you make of it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hicksy3 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'd really like somewhere serving good beer, not too pricey, no loud music walking distance from Malin Bridge. Happy with a scruffy interior. I went in the Robin Hood March 2011 and liked the pub, but not the woman running it moaning about muddy boots in the main bar (tiled floor anyway!). Shut since, lack of customers. I'd have been back if I hadn't been made to fell uncomfortable. Hillsborough Hotel a bit of a walk. What is the Hillsborough club at the top of the hill like?

Do us a favour and try and keep the noise down. I've never complained before, but I'd be persuaded to by being kept awake by that caterwauling at midnight on a Sunday. I wish I could find a decent pub in Hillsborough for a weekend. I end up trekking to Walkley or the Hillsborough Hotel for a good pint with some normal people.

How many real ale pubs with no karaoke have opened and been successful in the last 10 years.......versus how many tacky keg serving karaoke pubs have gone bust? About 8-0 to the decent pubs.

Are you sure they're more mature? ---------- Post added 19-01-2013 at 21:20 ---------- How many real ale pubs with no karaoke have opened and been successful in the last 10 years.......versus how many tacky keg serving karaoke pubs have gone bust? About 8-0 to the decent pubs. Have to agree with taxman on that one. I'd much prefer to be putting on some soul or rock and roll for a more educated clientel. Karaoke can be good, but it does have a habbit of attracting a rowdy crowed thats got no interest in singing good, but just been assess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
