Witherspoons Pub

They are nothing more than soulless, barren drinking warehouses....MacDonalds with a booze license. They destroy the traditional pubs & create more havoc than they're worth. I would rather abstain than drink in a wetherspoons cesspit.
 
C'mon Tealeaf,they aren't that bad,the Postal Order in Blackburn sells loads of real ales and is highly regarded by the rea :rolleyes: l ale buffs!
 
I take it you are referring to the building that once housed the crown post office on Darwen Street? Very good....well, I remember when that was once in an area containing a variety of pubs, all with their different character & bohemie.....it was a pleasure to spend an evening visiting hostelry after hostelry on a circuit colloquially known as the "Barbary Coast"... and what do we have now? A monstrous gimmick dreamt up by an overpaid marketing man.."the postal stamp"....and nothing else.

Pass me a paper bag, please - I want to be sick.
 
The main problem is not with the Postal Order, but with the serious decline in the rest of the pubs around that area. It used to be a great pub crawl around Blackburn - Courts, Adelphi, Vulcan, Peel, Same's Vaults ....
Now all you've got are soulless hovels full of obnoxious drunks and smack heads.
 
What happens when a supermarket opens in town? The local corner shops close down or end up as junk shops. Same thing with a Witherspoons....the other pubs end up run down, serving rubbish or closed completely.
 
i dont like it at all that all theese big companys are running the perfectly good little ones off the map... protest dont let the sh1t h3ads take over
 
I know I am up against the majority here but..the majority of public houses in Accy centre are in desperate need of refurbishment;even the ones that profess to being family friendly are dark,dirty and unappetising on the whole.[there are a few exceptions]Maybe the arrival of a pub that actually operates a toilet cleaning rota and has clean glasses and a decent menu may help!The others will have to raise their game or go to the wall. ;)
 
Most will go to the wall, Linds.....the rest will go further down market. After a while, the Witherspoons pub will go down market to..that's what has happened elsewhere & thats what will happen in Accy. Less choice, more rubbish.
 
absolute tosh, where has this happened? Where ever I have seen a wspoons pub the others in the area seem to be doing equally well.

What planet are you on?
 
Its about time we got a witherspoons pub in Accy,if they can sell ale at the prices they do good luck to em I say, nothing like competition thats what creates improvement,which I hope will be in both refurbishment and prices in the surrounding pubs.

Come on Witherspoons, i'm fed up of being charged inflated prices for ale.....
 
Why don't you just get a 4-pack, wonder into MacDonalds and order a quarter pounder? Those dumbo's in there won't notice what you're drinking and you won't notice the difference between a Witherspoons and a Mac's.
