It's a bit ridiculous that people are guessing when it's going to open.

Imagine being curious about when a place will open?

That’s the problem. You could literally drink that stuff anywhere including Granny Annie’s a few doors down, so why would I go there? Why not have some beers from Vaux on? Support local business Exactly, there’s at least 5 top notch brewers in the north east, Vaux being one of them.

Badly worded on my part; people shouldn’t have to guess when a place is opening, they should be doing a better job of marketing/hyping it. Looking forward to it opening…whenever that is!

My initial experience of the Mortal Hound when I had a pint in the Queen Vic wasn't very positive, in fact it was manky and I left it....I hope it was just a dodgy pint as no-one was drinking it, and I will give it a try again...but fuck me it was bad.

Agh! It’s being ran by the people who ran One More Than Two in Shields, and their beers were honking. Was hoping it might be different

Can't help but feel it's opening in the complete wrong place in town like. Hopefully it does well though.

Stacks of empty unit’s on HSW, I think that would have been better especially when that new place opens where JJB was, the Botanist etc.

Yeah fairneough HSW. Agreed it would be a better location though suspect some of the old retail floor plates will be too big for them unless landlord carved them up. Could have tried to the old trespass store but perhaps they were already signed up before it became available

Seemed to be just full of lager drinkers when I was in, so likely not many people, if any drinking it...I'll defo try again at the actual boozer they're opening, likely to be kept and delivered.
