It’s quite emotional news for regulars who have supported the pub over the last several years, and it’s sad to think that the next generation of students will never have the chance to enjoy a night out at this once thriving music venue.

Some customers have expressed their sadness on social media networks, but now we can only hope the next set of owners provide a similar experience. The only bad news is that it could well become another restaurant or shop, though many people will be hoping that it remains a pub.
