Big_Geordie Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 It'll take more than a new blerk in charge to save The Lion. The Sat nights of 5-10 years ago in Bedlington are now nothing but a distant memory. Shame as a crawl up and down the street used to be quality.

Shame as a crawl up and down the street used to be quality.It was a good pub in the sixties as I recall, it had rock groups on, on a Saturday night and used to be packed by half past seven but as you say a distant memory.

Big_Geordie Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 I remember when if you went in for 730pm on a Saturday night, it'd often take you 15-20mins to get served at the bar - it was that chocka. Morpeth has left Bedlington for dead for being the place to go on a Sat night. That's what happens when you invest in good bars and keeping the riff-raff to a minimum. Many pubs in Bedlington (perhaps bar The North) are stuck in a bloody timewarp.
Pete Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 You should take it over Pete, turn it into a theme bar.Thats a good idea Denzel, it could be just what Bedlington needs, the only problem is would the Goverment let us turn the clock back to the good old days and allow smoking because to do it properly everything has to be as it was.The Howard Arms (The Market Tavern) and the Railway used to be good as well, packed Friday Saturday and Sunday with good pop groups on.Ah the good old days the Duke of Wellington was another one, although not in Bedlington.

How true that is, every time I come to Bedlington to visit relatives I pass that place and it takes me back to the days when the second hand washing machine shop was nexr door to it as you go towards the Monkey.I usally use the Market Place Club when I am up there but I did go into the Market Tavern one Saturday night, at 8,15 there was me and two others in there, can't understand how it keeps open.

BarLassofBedlington Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Posted February 5, 2008 All he has to do now is get the pikeys out,then he might have a chance of a decent bar!!he has and another well known name that i shall not be mentioning, hes workin his ass off durin the night and everything to redecorate and make it better. i think everybody should give the pub a go when its all finished, i shall keep you updated. BRING BACK THE GOOD OLD DAYS
Big_Geordie Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 The Street needs more than The Lion sorting itself out, in order to try and reclaim the glory days. The North is probably the best pub by a mile, but I hear that was even pretty poor for New Year's Eve.
Pete Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 he has and another well known name that i shall not be mentioning, hes workin his ass off durin the night and everything to redecorate and make it better. i think everybody should give the pub a go when its all finished, i shall keep you updated. BRING BACK THE GOOD OLD DAYS Right on Bar lass

BRING BACK THE GOOD OLD DAYS It would help if he painted the steps in closing hours, was in not long ago and my shoes were covered in wet paint But i must admit, now that he`s opened it up a bit more, it`s looking better.

BRING BACK THE GOOD OLD DAYS NO HE HASN'T was in on friday night and couldn't get moved for scrap metal.Yes he's doing it out but to get it to what he wants he's going to have to be hard line on the pikeys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talking about Scott was he in nappies when he manager of Dominics,he only 24 now and was manager of Red Lion 5yrs ago.This taken into consideration,he must be bloody good,seeing as how you need to spend at least a yr training as manager,and then been working behind bar before even being considered for managers job,then you gotta be 18 before you can serve at the bar,the maths don't just add up,just thinking like,your best mate and all doe's he !*!@# coal and fart cinders :lol:
