Apparently they've been trying to shift the Gatekeeper for a while too.
I think there is an app to convert the top floor(s) of the Gatekeeper to hotel use (and also the Aneurin Bevan). I think this is something Wetherspoons are rolling out around the country.

I like Dempseys but mostly because it's never full. Lots of people will be wailing and gnashing their teeth and a lot of them (as in the case of the Vulvan) will have visited once or twice only. It's a case of use it or lose it. I hope that Brains don't go all out to modernise it in their usual cack handed way. It's in a good position on the Womamby Street 'alternative' strip and opposite the castle.
A lot of people say things like "oh that's a shame, I used to like going in there for a quiet drink because it wasn't too busy"... perhaps forgetting the fact that a bar needs to be busy in order to survive.

Well I think that's more food led so not comparable really. Perhaps the various estate agents and solicitors around that area are prepared to pay around £13 for fish, chips and a pint at lunchtime. However it wouldn't be the only Brains pub in town that's just struggling on despite not doing great business.
