Legends Bar Hillsborough closed?

Recommended Posts

I thought all the Thornbridge pubs weren't making any profit?

 

I believe "technically" they aren't Thornbridge pubs, in that Thornbridge don't own them, they just manage them, or have a beer supply agreement. (I admit to being vague on this because I always thought they were Thornbridge pubs but someone inside the trade showed the agreement with the brewery and it wasn't a straightforward one)

 

Anyway that's really beside the point and entering nerdsville.

Sounds like mere bandwagon-jumping but I hope it turns out to be worth a regular visit. It's got to be better than Legends anyway surely?

To be honest I've never been in Legends and don't think I will now Barrack and Garrason have been my watering holes on the way to Hillsbrough and happy with them both.

Most are leased.

I genuinely laughed out loud when I saw the first comment on this post by the Hillsborough Tap.

Just goes to show the place will still be packed with the same macho lager louts and mutton dressed muffin tops.

Just had a pint of cask ale in Legends - which was ok. Choice of 3 handpumps I think. Well done to them, it's definitely better than it was before.

 

Also tried Shakey for first time in about 5 years - also had 3 cask ales on (well 2 as one was settling).

 

Progress for Hillsbro I'd say and not before time. Just need some different punters to come down occasionally and broaden the demographic a bit.

This place looks really good from the outside - not had chance to go in yet, has it changed much on the inside?
