The only way it would work is to price out the dodgy crowd that used to go there. a few years ago a couple took it over and said they would make it an attractive place to go. Me and a mate gave it a go and I have never downed a pint quicker in my life to get out!

Nothing wrong with certain pubs being more of a family type place and the odd Gastro pub is fine, but seems a bit sad that there are a lack of traditional pubs in the city that aren’t uninviting because they are taken over by handful of dicks hanging round the bar.
The Wigton Road, Morton area is a densely populated part of town and this could do well.

Not sure how The Black Lion is doing since re-opening, anyone been in?

I'd love somewhere cosy to go on a Tuesday night and nurse a pint. It's the one thing I miss about the area. Nothing else in walking distance, although I'm occasionally tempted to join the social club down at St Nicholas simply to have somewhere to go.

Me and a pal tried the bowling alley but it wasn't great to have a pint in.
You are right though, the area is crying out for somewhere to have a quiet beer.

I’ve lived 100 yards away from The Currock since 1984 but I’ve never set foot in the place.

Can’t see The Rock lasting, was in a few weeks back and it was quiet. Half a dozen old boys watching racing in Lounge, same in main bar. Be a shame as it’s a big pub, not many have Snooker Tables in these days!

Last time I went in there was around 2008 and I asked for a Stella but the tap was there just no stock - basically there was about two or three taps on or cans and bottles that you can get a Booze Busters or Tesco at half the price so settled for a Strongbow.
The thing that got me though as I went in with my missus and the room went quiet, Slaughtered Lamb sort of place that probably thought that strangers were the plod, my missus said 'you actually used to drink in here' and I told her no that we used to go to the more welcoming The Cumberland Wrestlers.
I would be sad if it closed as it would be nice to be re-vamped as it always looks dark and not very welcoming and as said many of us on here would use it as I am all for supporting local businesses but they are all really decent and The Currock isn't.
Frustrating as I would actually use it frequently, like many of us would if they would only just pull their finger out as we all want a decent pub in Currock, the area is crying out for it, I hope hat they do not think that there is no demand for a pub in Currock because there is one already and nobody uses it, we just don't want it as it currently is and that is a big difference.

Somewhere like th currock is [censored], no parking, reputation, uninviting, etc. All well and good people saying they would go if it was better which is why pub companies do them up but when The punters don’t return it’s a vicious circle
