New Lloyds Bar (used to be Edwards)

[Give us an S]

I don't think Lloyds have the same prices as weatherspoons? Still don't think it will do well. Does O'Neills get busy? Whats was that pub before edwards?

It is owned by weatherspoons and if you look at the website http://www.lloydsno1.co.uk/ the food menu has the same prices.  As already said with good music and not too many pikeys could be quality.  Only one I have ever been in down in London didn't have your typical wetherspoons crowd so fairly positive should be a good place to go  

Was that when we stayed at Wills and i came along? That was really good in there and quality music.

Yes it is Chris, was easily the best place we went that night.  Good tunes, fit women and cheap drink its like heaven  

Thought so. If its like that then im sure it will be popular.

Old town is good up till about 11 but then there is no where decent to finish the night other than walkabout and im so bored of that now.

there's some good pubs in old town for a bit of a bar crawl but as stfctownenda says, no where to finish the night off.

The Dockle is a Lloyds1 pub

Spot is open till 2, then you've got Soda, If you want to stay in the pub then Wheatsheaf opens quite late and the royal oak never closes. Downstairs in the Vic can be a good laugh, again till 2. Plenty of places to finish up in old town

Soda has a new name doesn't it?  

The Donkey, Wheatie, and Prince are all open til 1 on the weekend i think.

Spot isnt really that good after about 11. Soda is tiny.

Wheatsheaf and the Royal Oak i wouldnt go near on a friday or sat night, not really my age range. The Vic aint really my scene either. Although the Oasis tribute band was good i thought.

The Wheatie rocks any day of the week. ood pub. In fact i'm going there later.

[flammableBen]

Was in the Wheatie for the second time since the new owners took over - and alas the beer tastes a whole heap nicer now the pipes have been cleaned.

Yeah its ok, but not a place to end the night on a Friday/Saturday really.

Edwards was brand new so technically wasn't anything before.  The Sir Daniel Gooch Arms made way for it, absolute piss hole of a pub (although some old nutter will probably disagree).  Went in it and there was literally one man a dog.  A rare pub I quite enjoyed being closed (even though the landlord spent ages trying to stay open when they were developing down there as I remember.

Lloyds have the same food menu but different drink prices (more expensive than a Whtherspoons branded version).  Bit odd, what with them having The Groves Company Inn so close by.  As Fred mentioned, the Dockle is a Lloyds.  Fairly well presented, nice for kids but an absolute shocker for service and food.

   Shhh....don't let on FB....its best if all the chavs and pikeys congregate down the end of Town, and leave Old Town to the more discerning punter.
