Boostin' Kev Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Is that Dreadnought on North Fort Street? Google says there's another pub called that in Newhaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google says there's another pub called that in Newhaven. Is it still North Fort street that far down? I didn't take notice of the street name tbh. It is in the Newhaven area though. They've got sky sports in & they play decent music in the background, that said I did find myself singing along to a Geo Formby record whilst there, strong ale, that's not a Formby song mind. I would have popped in Sat after the footy (haha) but I've a do on at Ainslie Park after the big top of the table clash. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DI Bruce Robertson Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Off to Bannermans tonight before the Lucky Chops gig. (Which I must thank you for bringing them to my attention).

Grimbo Cheers, I'm back early next week just wondering if they were doing an extensive Scottish leg and I might be able to catch them somewhere like Thurso Hippodrome, Portree Palladium, Methill Miners Welfare Club, Croftfoot Bowling Club or my aunties living room. Might catch them on the platform at Partick Underground, but probably not. Let us know how they are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I think they are only doing one night in Scotland sadly. Shame I can't go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimbo Strange place to open a new pub, can't see many people going out of their way for it so they're left with the regulars who are a pretty boisterous bunch in North Fort St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim O'Grady Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 All the Ales are priced at £3.50 a pint, I would think the boisterous crowd would source cheaper beers elsewhere tbh. I think that also has something to do with their opening hours too? There was about a dozen folk in last Saturday teatime, which was good for us, easy to get to the bar but aye maybe not to good for business? Anyway it's out there now, I hope it stays, happy journey stop off after the football on the way to the Mops. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Theres also the bar that is just called Sports Bar that is on Portland Street. Been shut down for years now but its probably better located for someone who wants to open up a new pub. Looks like its probably a bit of a midden inside though.

Can't see the craft beer brigade choosing a pub on North Fort St over Newhaven or the Shore and there's not much else around that area. Might be wrong of course, I've never been in and not in that area very often either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see it competing with the Shore obvz but like I said it's a decent stop off point. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Cyclists on that route are too busy worrying if they're going to get booted off their bikes and made to walk home. Anyone around ocean terminal will head to the Shore and the Newhaven locals will stay there imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 The Starbank inn is surely a nicer stop off point for you anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
