The problem is, the Golden Cross is doing an abysmal trade, and there is no way it can be paying its way. It's certainly not the thriving gay bar which I remember from ten years ago, and it became a lot more isolated from the rest of the scene when the Kings Cross closed. Would it be better to move it and restore it rather than for it to close and fall into disrepair?
Of course, ideally it would be good for Brains to give it a spruce up as it has with its other city centre bars, but I think its listed status extends to inside the building(?) and therefore it would be difficult to make the structural changes needed.
