Not sure now @iainment . This is the Latest news from the Star landlord. Do you know anything about Dirty Liquor. @Vincenzo I fear I may be too old for them already! Just checked.. still part of Enterprise.
Message... I’ve been asked consistently what’s happening with the pub. To let people know what I know is this.
The pub will be closing down for a refurbishment when I leave.
The name of the company taking over is Dirty Liquor.
They have a few pubs already that you can check out online.
They look fantastic and it’s a very exciting development for the area.
I wish them all the luck in the world and urge you all to get behind them and support them.
Pubs are dying out in this country. And that’s a crying shame.
Pubs are an integral part of a community and we need to do what we can to stop them all being replaced by flats.
Cocktails, sourdough pizzas, young men with excessively large beards wearing red trousers, young women with deliberately unkempt hair wearing ill-fitting jeans from the 80's that do absolutely nothing for their figure. No dartboard, no pool table, "ironic" pile of boardgames in the corner such as Buckaroo, Guess Who, Battleships and Mastermind-the board game (which nobody knows how to play). Bar snacks include Marples Farm handmade sausage rolls made (£4.50 each) and Dartford Forest quail scotch eggs (£5). Et cetera.

Excuse me!!! As a child of the 70's I certainly know how. I had the standard and Deluxe versions.

Sounds fucking awful to me but despite being a youngster still, Ive always preferred a pub with sticky carpets (ooh err), a wonky pool table that only the regulars know how to play without everything going in the same pocket off the break and a food menu that consists of nuts, scratchings and scampi fries (until ray gets there with his shopping basket of over priced stale sweets)

But the key question is - is it still a Millwall pub?
edit: very unimpressed with their claim to be tucked away on the Evelyn "Road". Philistines! And the grocer's apostrophes on the drinks - it's like the person who did their website can't speak English
@DA9 - beer mile will likely be packed but all the bars and tap rooms are good. They're all so close together that if you don't like one (or, if it's a nice day and everywhere is rammed and so they stop letting people in), then you can easily move on to the next... Fave's for me are probably BBN and eebria....Fourpure is my least favourite but it is big and so can cope with crowds (although it's a little way 'off' from the rest...couple of mins out of the way...)..and - to be honest - I can usually find at least one beer in there that I can drink... Cloudwater brewery is opening a tap room on the mile 'soon'...I can't wait for that.... Enjoy...and watch out for all the stag dos....oh :-)

Dirty Liquor will breathe new life into The Star.
Get behind them.
I don't know Dirty Liquor, no. Looks like they do pubs in partnership with other pubcos. No idea how that works.
Personally I like what they've done with the Black Horse, but others may have preferred it when it was a shitty Millwall boozer with fizzy lager.
People aren't obliged to buy cocktails. They do nice beer. And nice pizza. So I had a nice couple of pints, a good pizza and watched the football. Not sure what there is to moan about really. (Not that you are, Curb_it)

On a stag do tomorrow, doing the Bermondsey beer mile, any breweries to recommend or avoid?
Some decent beers available, enjoyed the food on maltby street, but f*** me, what a bunch of pretentious, beard oil using, skinny Jean wearing hipster f*** nuggets on display, never again.

In our days it was Gilly’s & Samsons and try not to get a hiding.

Joint venture with Enterprise I see?
We’ve just rocked up in Buxton. Anyone got any tips for pubs? All get high ratings on TA.
Back in 1975 when Derbyshire County Cricket Club were playing Lancashire SNOW stopped play in June!
That will either cement you as a potential pub bore or break the ice....
