Jack's has closed down?

Beer blogger The Hoptimist tweeted about 15 mins ago that Jack's has closed down! Anyone close by to verify? It was open yesterday around 5pm!

Has this not been suggested before on here when it fact it just hadn't opened for the day yet?

It doesn't open till pretty late, for sure.

No way! it is the only place to get decent quaffing in SGR. Cru bourgeois, Mouton et al. Big miss if true.

Sorry for panic, it does seem to be the case that the blogger didn't realise that it doesn't open till later in the afternoon. Will be going past about 5pm again today, so will check. Phew!

At least, thanks to this thread, we WILL find out when Jacks normally opens!

I know it's his choice when to open but I reckon he has lost about 50% of my potential trade. I've bought stuff them from there around half dozen times but I have also tried to buy wine/beer from there during the week and sat/sunday late morning and afternoon for that evening. THere must be huge numbers of people who are similar.

He opens at 3pm. He told me 'nobody buys alcohol in the morning'. They've had that place for years so I'm guessing they're talking from personal experience but try telling him.

I think Wetherspoons might disagree with that!

I know it's not the same at all, but I couldn't resist. Overheads and all that - I guess it'd cost more than they'd make to be open for those extra hours.

Once you've bought your bottle at, hmm, Tesco.....

I think when Jack's closes down it will be the day Stroud Green dies. As I'm off the booze I haven't been in for a while but I'm sure I saw one of the brothers offloading the van this week.

If there is just the two of them working there and they work 8/9 hours a day, they can't reasonably open before 3.

Hire vetski as friendly morning assistant?

Howdy, Stranger!
