'under new management' and reopening in 2013

Is this the pub that used to be "N4" (corner of Moray Road)?

This is tragic. Chang

Mirandola · January 2013

Yep, it's the ex N4

When I think of the good nights we've all had in there over the years as Duke, Red Rita's , n4 and Fonthill it is heartbreaking to see it shut. I hope it opens with a bang and is lively and continues to be a good local and football supporters pub. It is also very child friendly despite not having a beer garden. Chang

Chang, you have clearly never been in there!

Mirandola · January 2013

yeah, it wasn't great

That place seemed to suffer with local gangsters hanging out in there. The landlord was a nice guy, he tried to bring in Vietnamese food once! There was uproar as the locals were unhappy losing their chicken burgers.....

I agree there were some unsavoury types there from time to time. But I Only once saw a fight and no food or women were involved/injured. I wish there were not such big tvs everywhere - what about conversation and banter?! - but that as Rocky used to say us the modern pub trade. Chang

It's been full of noisy people drinking for the last few nights... albeit with blinds down!

funny spot, never seems to do well no matter how often they refit it.

@ chang. Big TVs. Call Julie Burchill. I'm sure she'd write an article about the place.

Every area needs a rough pub to house the local criminality. The landlord was a good stick.....blame the game not the players.

I do! I'm on moray road. I think In many ways the N4 hosted true locals who were actually here a lot longer than when the middle classes moved in about a decade ago.

Howdy, Stranger!
