GinTreeS7 Â Â 18 #1 Posted August 18, 2018 A new one has now opened in Nether Edge called "Brewer Hop" in Wostenholm Road near where the old Priory pub used to be ... I popped in for a half and it seems OK... Â And now I hear that there is another one to open in the old Stokes paint shop next to Abbeydale Picture House social - due to open last night? Â What do people think of this phenomena .. is it a passing fad like Irish-theme bars or is it here to stay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Bilge   34 #2 Posted August 18, 2018 I think the good ones will stay. The less good ones, that just try to make money selling overpriced beer that's cheaper in supermarkets, won't last so long.  I'm hoping for one in Crosspool to provide a bit of life at night. There's a market for a decent bar near the shops as the two pubs are rubbish and local folk have money to spend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
muddycoffee   10 #3 Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) A new one has now opened in Nether Edge called "Brewer Hop"  It is actually called "Brewer & Hop"  While it bills itself as a "Micro Pub", I think it is more like an old fashioned traditional one room pub.  The recent Phenomenon of Micro pubs has been a breath of fresh air in my view. We are getting back to what a real pub was. No Food, TV, Fruit Machines or any of that noisy rammal. Just a pub for beer and conversation.

natjack   10 #4 Posted August 18, 2018 Like the old beerhouses in someone's front room, a lot of them are in small shops. Got to be cheaper to run than a big old pub with no one in it all week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest makapaka   #5 Posted August 18, 2018 I think it’s great - it’s the industry finally responding to the likes of enterprise etc killing off pubs.  It’s a shame you have to drink in old shops across from closed pubs sometimes but at least it’s progress.

However, it is otherwise a really good old-fashioned pub(it is the oldest in Chesterfield) with only real ales on the pumps. None of the junk and rammell you mentioned lol Edited August 18, 2018 by Ontarian1981 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

realcockney   10 #11 Posted August 22, 2018 it will be like the cupcake fad with die as quick as its started, no where near enough volume of sales to make it pay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
muddycoffee   10 #12 Posted August 22, 2018 it will be like the cupcake fad with die as quick as its started, no where near enough volume of sales to make it pay.  I don't think so. Cupcakes are some kind of American Import. I've never seen or wanted one, whereas beer has been drunk in England for many centuries and the bulk of the population drinks it every week.  In my view, Micropubs will continue to spread and the victims will be the overpriced old largerpubs. At some stage we will reach an equilibrium where the traditional pubs will become less difficult to run and people who like a drink will have a reasonable selection of boozers again.  ---------- Post added 22-08-2018 at 18:21 ----------  And a micro sports pub to open on Eccy Road! Unfortunately replacing a rather quirky Country and Western micropub. It is as if we don't already have enough pubs showing football …… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
