october 2014 Boarded up and closed. Don't say i didn't warn you. nogginthenogg - 4 Nov 2014 13:51 |
Nice little place but as the last person fed back it is always quiet. Always have a few real ales on tap. Staff are friendly. Hope it survives. wooly2708 - 25 Jul 2011 19:14 |
The Vic has decent beer, a nice main bar area, and a good taproom with pool table and jukebox. In some ways you dont know why it has struggled to get clientele in recent years, but most of the time you walk in and its pretty empty. Hope they turn it around, as they are a lot better pub than many in the shipley/saltaire area. Seve1974 - 24 Aug 2010 20:14 |
Pretty good pub I'd say. Good real ales, nice interior and its always dead so you can hear yourself think while you're reading the paper. wooly2708 - 23 Aug 2010 21:07 |
Struggled over recent years to keep going, changed landlords again after a period of closure. Can't understand why it doesn't work - perhaps too many changes in recent years? Note to new landlords; money needs spending on the damp walls and the bogs; try taking on Fannys. Get a full -on - full beer range; no John Smiths, Abbot or Tetleys; reduce or change the Brit lagers; allocate a small area for light meals; lunch or tea but not late; get the regulars away from the bloody bar; get an extensive snack selection; In winter keep it warm and light the fires; improve the lighting. And remember, if you are going down the sky sports route you will be competing with the Ring o Bells up the road - could be tough. Good luck. nogginthenogg - 20 Aug 2009 10:55 |
