dotdash79 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Went to Grub in Manchester and had my first drink (just a half as I had to drive). loved it but it was outside and really well run. Felt relaxed, new outside bit looks great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given we have had no live music at all round here for months I reckon it’s gonna be rammed (within social distancing rules obviously). Yeah the horse an jockey, they got closed down last week for something similar and so did another pub called the Travs. Iam not going out to any pubs in Ellesmere port, I've been to a few country pubs instead with their own campsites ... Much quieter 👍🍺🍺🍺 Edited July 25, 2020 by gazzared Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may enter the competitions that may occur ahead of it, but am not sure. Do you know your dancing that you were on about? Well, if you combined that with my fruit machine dancing, then even that wouldn't come close to this bloke.

I live in London and it’s much better to take some drinks to a park. Would rather that than sit indoors or an overcrowded beer garden.

squirrelarmy Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 I was in another pub last night. This place was taking precautions very seriously. They had set up their own website so you could order drinks from your phone, lots of signage everywhere. Plenty of hand sanitiser around and they even left cleaning equipment in convenient locations in case you felt the need to wipe down any surfaces. Even when this pandemic ends I’m hoping a lot of the bars keep the technological aspects of covid secure socialising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been wanting to go there for awhile now, as looks good and with it having covered outdoor areas thought I might dip my toe in going out by going there Apparently they are part of the eat out to help out scheme in august too What's the beer selection like?

Sdsm123 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 I drove through the town centre last night and the amount of people queuing to get into weatherspoons was immense, no social distancing going on and all bunched up shouting and singing! Surely in this situation they should mandate mask wearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that shame has an anti-viral effect though. I wouldn’t feel guilty about it. This year is hard enough, without feeling guilty for trying to find some pleasant experiences. It sounds like you followed the rules and tried to keep others safe, so I think that deserves a beer or two 🍺 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
