taxi ray 170 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I went past the Boulevard today, they have got builders in and large signs saying opening soon, as it has been closed for a few years I thought that it would never reopen. Possibly something to do with the Gregory shutting a few weeks ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hippo girl 1,995 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I saw the Boulevard was reopening whilest waiting at the traffic lights...didnt realise what a lovely building it is..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
piggy and babs 544 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 yes crissy the started doing work on it a few months back then it came to a stand still for a bit but they started again about 2 weeks ago and looks like they will get on with it this time but i dread to think what the top floor looked like after all the years of open or broken windows and all the pidgeons that lived in it over them years must have been closed about 3 years. would not have liked to be the one to go in and clean it out.. but yes it is a nice building inside and out , hope they leave in some of the fetures..

Cliff Ton 10,470 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 It may be a bit out of our area, but here's another pub you can buy and open up if you have a bit of spare cash http://www.rightmove...y-34617556.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 The mill at Langley Mill has been closed for a few years now, whilst it was closed there was a fire that destroyed a lot of the roof, the roof has been replaced and has been empty since, I would imagine that there is a lot of damage inside.

The Old Pack Horse(ex Hardy Hansons/Green King) in Loughborough has been bought by The Blue Monkey Brewery & is due to re-open some time later this month as "The Organ Grinder" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,470 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Does that mean Blue Monkey call all of their pubs "The Organ Grinder"? That must get a bit confusing. http://www.bluemonke...e-organ-grinder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Not sure this one ever got listed? Brewdog Nottingham, Broad Street Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 That looks interesting Stu! Have you tried it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 No, not as yet, Eric. Before they opened I heard stories of their prices being very high but looking at it, some their beers are in line with other city pricing. Brewdog are a small chain who got a name for slightly aggressive marketing techniques. Don't know else about them. Looks a nice building though with some interesting beers.
