I foresee many others going the same way Bri.
I’m hearing, and seeing for myself that the season is once again getting ever shorter, and within that, the trading day is getting shorter.
It’s a phenomenon I mentioned 2 or 3 years ago, and it seems to be accelerating.
Some bars in Llandudno no longer open on Mondays at all..., and of those who do, most open from teatime only.
Last night we were around town, and The (new) Belmont was entirely empty, as was Gresham.
The ludicrously overpriced Snooze had about 8 tables full of customers.
Fountains had a live band on stage.... and not a soul in the bar to listen to them.
The only relatively busy bar was The Irish Bar. He has the sun until late evening, and keeps his prices sensible.
It’s a mean old scene out there, but quality and price will still get patronage, as evidenced by the queue outside Home Cooking, right up to closing time.
