Thanks all

You ask about fish and get loads of replies. I ask about a café in a car wash in a tatty looking music venue and get nothing

That is probably all the answer you need...

More people on here eat fish than go and have a cup of tea while their vehicle gets washed. Just a hunch.

Nah, I've a B.A. in Religious History and read my Lovecraft in my teens, so didn't need Wiki thanks very much.

I don't eat fish and I don't drive so am feeling very excluded from Brixton right now

We're trading as usual. No real info at this stage

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

We'll keep you informed on what happens once they've spoken to us.

 

[editor]

Fucking terrible news.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Fuck no. This is really bad news.

 

[editor]

I've done a piece on BrixtonBuzz and spiced it up with some grim tales of Golfrate's iffy activities:

No we should get blind drunk and then burn the place down. I am on my way there now.

It's not going anywhere for quite a while yet.

Don’t panic yet!

We’ve spoken to the landlord and he informs us that there are no immediate plans to change anything at the pub, and that he has no intention of closing.

He expects all the gigs that are currently booked to go ahead, and for the venue to continue operating exactly as it has in the past – so please come along and continue to support this fine pub!

Grovesnor is probably my favourite Brixton pub, having been untouched. What's weird is there's been some quite trendy and packed out dances there recently capitalising on it's no nonsense atmosphere.

Hope it doesn't change anyway.

I love the Grosvenor - I hope they don't change a thing!

I fear things will most certainly change, but hopefully not for a good while yet.

Trouble is that the money that can be made from running a great pub with great events is small fry compared to the money that can be swiftly made by flogging off the place as a luxury development.

we could always squat the place....
commercial property innit.
