It's almost as bad as unruly kids. I under stand about the kids but at least when we had a song and a dance you feel as though you had, had a good night out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,529 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 I've split off a number of posts which were in this thread and started a new one called "Wetherspoons pubs". https://nottstalgia.com/forums/topic/16719-wetherspoons-pubs/ There used to be one a couple of years ago but it mysteriously disappeared.

catfan 14,793 Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 It looks like the "Greenwood Tree" on Greenwood Road is set to be demolished. Spent many a good night in there a few years ago when a lady friend of mine lived nearby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No full on pub, after reopened after being Chambers I don't think I missed a Saturday night in there for the 6 weeks the Harvest Pale was bang on, my tolerance levels are not to good & I think we stopped going in because it took too long to get served.

Mine too, five mins and i'm away elsewhere. The Bag O Nails in lenton has closed now, only one cheap pub left down there now. On another note Radfordred, i saw your Mam puffing and panting on her way home the other week by the old Beechdale baths, so i did the honorable thing and dropped her off at her door, she was surprised i knew where she lived lol, used to have relations living a few doors away. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Has it actually closed for good, or just for christmas ? It closes at this time of the year anyway because when the students go home, there are no customers left. In the past it only operated during term times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_big_fact_hunt 9 Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Appears to have closed for good, was supposedly being sold months ago, never happened, stripped of stock. If i see the manager i'll ask what happened Quote Link to post Share on other sites
