The Three Furnaces, Madeley

I have to say when i first started going there a few years ago it was great ! Lovely staff great atmosphere etc etc.. But over the last year it has dropped dramatically !! The owners had started revealing the problems and relationship issues publicly in the bar area, forcing customers out the bar so the can argue, i myself was even told to the face by the youngest landlord that he didnt like me because his husband was aparently flirting with with me when he has done this with a number of customers Just out of friendliness as nothing physical ever came from it(not very inviting to hear that as a customer!). The bar staff have mentioned also that the place has gone 'down' and they arnt as happy as they used to be, there have also been several mentiones of the landlords beak up's. Now when i go there you hardly even notice a gay crowd, fights majority of the nights by rough locals and even the police show up on a regular basis. None of the regulars go anymore as they were barred from there or chose not to come back because during having argents with some new faces who were overly drunk the landlord defended the new comers. There is word that they are selling alcohol that the brury is unaware of, plus (mentiond by bar staff) the even of pride that took place last year, the funds raised for it the owners only donated a small percentage to charity and kept majority for themselfs after advertising that funds were going to a good cause !! Clearly the pub has a lot to make up for over how it has been steating poeple over the last year, its no longer an attitude free pub, its mor like something youd expect of shameless all in all im discusted at the place and how its making the gay world look.. Sort it out !
