The Golden Gates, Edinburgh

It's a shame it was a great wee boozer, always had a laugh. I'm not going to sit here and say it was Publicanas fault because a company isn't to blame for all of this pubs downfall. The last manager this place had ran it wrongly for the pub it was, it wasn't the companies pub, it was ours, us loyal customers who went there for 40 years. She drove us out, at least with Mark? we had theme nights, and laughs and a good atmosphere it was always a welcoming place. Never any trouble and if there was it was out the door faster that you can down an aftershock. I don't know if this pub will ever open up again, or if it will in my lifetime, but if it does lets hope its a private lease holder. Companies are all about the money and never about the customers, and that's what this pub was, it wasn't the walls, or the beer, or the music, it was the atmosphere and the people that came into it.
