[Drinking] Black Horse; Church Street

S.T.U cgull · Jul 8, 2020

FYI for all persons seeking a BHA friendly venue in the city centre henceforth..

Attempted to go in the Black Horse earlier this evening for a drink; unfortunately the landlord had declared this venue a Liverpool fans only venue, with the Brighton Kop having relocated here!

Plenty of other welcoming venues nearby thankfully - but worth considering for any future potential patronage

Yeah but it's like £3.50 for a decent pint and not majority hipster

Fair enough, last time I’ll go in there then.

Thanks for the heads up.

Of the four pubs there (Wagon / Mash Tun / Fitz & Black Horse) the Black Horse is generally the lowest on the list.

Had not intended to go out to watch the game, but saw a fair few either advertising our game or showing the 6pm kick off !

Next season we should really try and make them feel unwelcome. Turn up with loads of Brighton and edge them out.

How about taking over a random pub in Liverpool city centre and calling it the Scouse North Stand and acting all embarrassing and precious and getting loads of media types in to chronicle the whole sorry affair?

My local pub have been cheeky ****ers from day one. It's never really shut.

They kept the kitchen open from nearly day one and were doing takeaway meals, then quickly started doing takeaway drinks.

No problem at all.

People then started drinking outside, sitting on a low long wall. Again no problem.

However it's been a slow creep where the pub has realised it doesn't have to bother with much inside because people can just drink on the pavement. I thought this would change with the pub re-opening last weekend, but they couldn't be bothered - why would they ? Just continue the status quo.

I've had to cross the road a couple of times to get home, since the pavement was blocked with pissed up drinkers.

I've emailed them (nicely) advising them they need to find a solution to blocking the pavemet but they can't be bothered to reply. I popped in there and they said my email was with their "media team".

They are essentially the Dominic Cummings of the pub world and couldn't give a ****.

Seems a bit short sighted to piss off your neighbours. Keep an eye out for any planning applications and or licence renewals and see if you can get their attention that way.

The Brighton Flop site suggests that The Font is their current cess pit HQ, maybe the BH are helping out on a temp basis, always liked the BH , use to be my local when I lived in Grand Parade.

This.

Thanks for the heads up. No chance me going in there again now.

Bombardier · Jul 9, 2020

It's a piss take when you are not allowed in a Brighton pub to watch an Albion match. Not been in the Black Horse for ages and really can't see myself going there anytime soon given their stance.

Sounds a bit like a couple of pubs I've seen in Brighton. Stacks of people boozing outside them as well as inside, well before they were 'opened' on the 4th.

As for the OP, I don't really get why you'd make a pub 'Liverpool only' when there are no fans/trade actually going to the game and you are based in the city the team are playing in. I guess they thought they could scoop up all of the K&Q lot, but wouldn't you get more 'home' supporter trade if you're bothering at all? Personally I can't stand watching football in a crowded pub, but each to their own :shrug:
