Should this place be added to the site? I say yes, but I'll open it up for debate.
I dont agree with it being added to the site.
If this does go on the site it will probably open the floodgates for any off licence that sells bottled beers, or even supermarkets as some of these have a decent choice of bottled beers.
I have already had a rant about this in the past and i still feel the same about it now, but no doubt most forum users will not agree with my feelings on this subject.
It's got an on-licence and acts as a bar so I' d include it. I'd also like to see listings of specialist beer oriented off-licences or farm/brewery shops,either on the main site or as a thread on the forums.I for one don't go to the pub as much as I'd like, so on my travels I tend to stock up on quality beer to drink at home.Quote:

I sympathise with the view that the site should only list 'pubs', and get annoyed with the restaurant and night-club listings already on here, but I can only see positives in lisitng places that clearly have wider appeal amongst those actively using this site.
What a fantastic place, excellent beer list which you can enjoy on the premises, six types of scotch eggs, pork pies and a cheese snack snaffled from Bruges Beertie. It qualifies for an entry far more than a lot of the "bars" we allow so get it on here I say.Quote:

I think that Pubsignman has got it right on his reply to this thread and i will go along with his views on this subject.
But i do still stand by my feelings that this is a PUB SITE.
Yes I think it should be included as its clearly a Bar as well as a bottle shop and looking though the site it seems a very interesting place with a good selection of Bottled Beers.Quote:
