Micro Pub

[rpadam]

BF threw up an interesting point with his update for the Rake in Borough Market.
He says that today it would be classed as a micropub but the owners don't make that claim. Should it be classed as a micropub? My instinct says no unless the owners decide to claim it as one but it doesn't help that I've never been there.
This is a tricky one!

It's certainly smaller inside than some members belonging to the Micropub Association.

I just thought it had all the elements,

Didn't used to be a pub,conversion from a shop (bookshop ?)
Small interior and serving bar.
Focus on real ale
Sign saying "No crap on keg"
Most punters drinking either cask ,keg or bottled beers (including the many women customers)
No flatscreens or gaming machines


However I take your point that the owners may not feel the term micro pub sits well with their vision of what they are offering,there were a lot more young men with beards than older CAMRA types with beards on my visit yesterday.

Looked In there tonight but didn't need any of the 3 cask beers but they have about 8 keg beers so they fall at the first hurdle for micro pubs.Evil keg?Also they are open all hours which is not the micro pub concept.

Yes,it's "micro", but I think it is part of a larger business:beer wholesaling and the Tap East bar and microbrewery at Stratford,so not exactly a one man band.

Used to visit the Microbar around Lavender hill way but again would not make the list.Had some great beers in it though.

I'm sure that I'd heard that Banbury had a micro pub opening but having trawled the interweb, this thread, the micropub association list and PuG list I can't find any reference to one in Banbury.

Perhaps I'm going sealion but has anyone else heard of a micro pub in Banbury?

Only an idiot journalist from the frozen North could come up with this ridiculous statement about a micropub :-

A application has been submitted to Newcastle City Council for a new boozer that looks to ape some of London’s trendiest breweries and bars.

He can't even write proper as it should be AN application.
