0/T The Brecks pub/restaurant now closing down

[LincsMiller]

Sad to hear this. The Brecks pub, and the Premier Inn joined to it, have been my go-to base when I visit Rotherham. My family have probably been drinking there, off and on, more or less since it opened in the mid 1930s. (I lived about a quarter of a mile away as a kid.)

Feels like the end of an era

Me too CT .
PS. Would have liked to attend this event but unfortunately doesn't look do-able at present, anything similar happening over there?

Pub numbers have been steadily falling for 25 years. It's not political, it's about supply and demand. Younger generations drink less, and across all drinkers there are many more options beyond pubs. I can order cases of beer far better than most pubs offer, have them here in 24 hours at less than half the price. For years people have built home bars, they have Spotify (or similar) providing instant jukeboxes to their cheap bluetooth speakers.

Pubs don't help themselves either in some cases, with divisive policies on mobiles/laptops, not paying for a music licence, decorating once a flood, and generally not adapting to how society has changed.

Don't get me wrong, I like a pub... but it's not the 'first name on the team sheet' when I'm planning my week.
