Thanks Rex, I was wondering about that - though some friends of mine have apparently been successful in getting a beer in the Tryst. I might give it a go myself next time in the area, just to satisfy my curiosity. I may also cheat by taking an attractive young lady with me, to maximise my chances!
I am sure you are right that when a pub becomes something else, it is better to close off the pub without changing it's name to whatever it has become, to preserve the historical pub record.
Coming back to Old Boots' and others' points about loads of stuff on the site that no-one wants to review - it strikes me that an easy way to clear lots of it off would be a mass delete of all Cafe Rouges, La Tascas, and probably about a dozen other chains people could think of that obviously aren't pubs. Few are reviewed, and where they are usually just by someone pointing out it's not a pub. I was toying with the idea of starting a thread proposing that, though there may well have been a previous one from before my time. Only drawbacks I can think of are (a) if photographers want them on, or (b) if we lost a lot of previous pub history by doing that - though I can't see we would if they are only listed as the non-pubs they are now. Would appreciate any thoughts.
