The Isaac Wilson up for sale

Used to love Isaac's, pre drinks before Hulk every Monday and AVM most Saturdays.
Went on my first date with my partner there to around 8 years ago!
 
Looks like its going to be the old Empire then or The Central
1st The Star
now The Isaac
:confused:
 
Only went in once post-Wetherspoons era and it was dead

Surely a bad place for a bar like that? There is only flares and the gay club and a few bars down that end, nightlife seems to have shifted down linthorpe road way for bars and restaurants, guessing Stack is never going to materialise
 
£750k - In many parts of London the flat alone would cost that, so you are getting the pub for nothing.
 
I was out in Bedford and Baker Street on the August bank holiday weekend. Bedford street street was dead with the exception of a few people in scruffys returning from the races. Some noticeable places had closed down (Bedford St social and the pizza place). Baker Street was much more lively but all seemed to be 50+ year old blokes blasting out karaoke. Ended up in the bottled note which was also quiet. This was a Saturday night! All a bit depressing.

The town centre is a ghost town.

Every time we get settled at a match day breakfast venu, the ruddy place closes.
I appreciate Isaac’s is still open, but for how long?
Soon all that will remain will be McDonalds, shudder the thought.😡

The young are changing the nation's culture. It was about getting out with friends for a few drinks. Now it's about having food delivered and watching TV.

The pubs are being kept open by the over 50's, they'll close in the next couple of decades.

Young people haven't go any money that's why.
 
It’s been on a steady decline for years really, as many bars and pubs have been at that end of town.

I spent a lot of my teens and early twenties going to Isaacs before going to some of the rock nights that used be dotted around Middlesbrough. Options used to be plentiful then. Not like now (Err Flares, No thanks!).

Middlesbrough has some bars I really like still but in the main, the whole town is in a sorry state. I walk down Linthorpe road most weeks and there’s poverty and deprivation everywhere.

The town centre very similar.

I see more 50+ people getting takeaways and watching tv. 100% tv where the older you get, the more is watched with younger 16+ watching the least.

The young are doing sports and either not drinking or going to cocktail bars instead of dusty old man pubs for expensive ale.
