No, Wetherspoons don't run Disco's... but they do own the Lloyds No 1 bars chain .... who DO run Disco's and very vibrant ones at that!
Maybe it could be one of them?
Wouldn't they just be competing with themselves across the road?

Thats what they do in several other towns and cities.... in some places a Wetherspoons and a Lloyds are adjacent to each other, or opposite... as would be the case here.

Interesting...and not good news for other struggling bars in the town.

Any major investment in the town has to be good news, particularly if it means we can cross one of our Eyesores off the list at the same time.  $good$

Just walked past The Clarence and the Security firm is in the process of covering the front with perforated metal--- Eyesore? Things get worse !

It looks horrendous, and the thing is, that metal sheeting doesn't even protect it particularly well, it can be 'peeled' back fairly easily. I understand also that a Locksmith was busy inside the Hotel changing the locks yesterday - has it finally been sold maybe, and the new owners are protecting the building until work can begin?

Was told yesterday whilst having my hair cut that some of the Hebrew Community had been seen exiting the building with a suited gentleman!

I can see those sheets getting kicked-in by passers by.

Im still baffeled at what they are doing inside the tin hut on the coach park,to me it looks small but they have been working inside this tin shed for a couple of months and still no sign of a grand opening by her majesty,JFS Z**
This has puzzled me too. The work has been taking months and has involved many people, usually 5 or more cars and vans outside it every day. Maybe a new HQ for Llandudno Regeneration Partnership?  :laugh:

According to Oscar it's going to be a........cafe.  $dins$

Fine dining for the coach park customers maybe?

It has been a cafe for a number of years.  It is have a full face lift to make better use of space and more welcoming to the Coach travellers.     Z**
