Unfortunately not :D

Re: vic reopened!
 

I think a visit is required. :D

Has it had a complete revamp, or a lick of paint & a new dartboard? :rolleyes:

The 'Vic is a Thwaites tied house, if I remember rightly, so I'm hoping they have Wainwright's ale on the pumps. I sampled it at the Clog & Billycock, in Billinge, a couple of weeks ago; highly recommended.

Next time Mr T is up from Big-City-Bright-Lights, I'll atempt to drag him up the hill to Bash, for a few libations.

Is there a smoking area?:smokin:

Re: vic reopened!
 

They have a smoking area out back but I cant tell you how good it is as we don't smoke.

Sparky, they have recarpeted, re-upholstered the seating and chairs, re-painted the woodwork and papered the walls and ceiling, the loos have been replaced and retiled.

Well hand pulled ales win hands down in my book, so, should I get a chance I will pop in for a sample. :D

Re: vic reopened!
 

Thanks entwisi ..... he wants to go down ........... he says for me to get some pool practice in!!!! Thats his excuse!!!!:D:rolleyes:

Re: vic reopened!
 

LOL .. thought you meant the Vic at Clayton before I opened the thread ... 'course you would have been too young to remember that.

Thought it was OK before actually ... there again only saw it in artificial light, not daylight.

Not interested in the ale though. Bacardi is Bacardi no matter what pub you are in ... :D

see i'm surrounded by winos, alkies, drunks of all description, n jeeez am i jealous.:D

Re: vic reopened!
 

There are various ways of dispensing beer. What you see on the bar may bare no resemblance to what the line is connected to in the cellar.
Some years ago the art of pulling keg beer through a hand pump was developed.
The only way to tell is to inspect the cellar to see If it is cask conditioned by the Landlord/Cellar man.
I fear you may be disappointed.
I hope I am wrong but I used to invite people to inspect my cellar.:jimbo::jimbo:

Re: vic reopened!
 

I aint complaining there was Wainwrights, Dark Nutty, Bomber, Thwaites Traditional at the bar. Liberation, Shuttle n the lovely Double Centuary in bottles oh and for the larger louts Warsteiner as well. Pool table is a Linford to boot. Nice little pub friendly n warm. :D

Re: vic reopened!
 

Glad you enjoyed it. Sorry we couldn't meet up with you but we had no babysitter.

Re: vic reopened!
 

Lets get down to the nitty gritty, how much is a pint of bitter and how much is lager?

Not bothered what kind of pool table it is as nobody in Accy can play the game!!:D:cheers::drink:

Re: vic reopened!
