Stuart Lyon Posted September 10, 2019 The former Phoenix Bar is rising from the ashes as a bar/restaurant and will revert it its former name the Broughton Bar so I was told by the butcher in Crombie's across the road this morning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBigO Posted September 11, 2019 1 hour ago, Craig_ said: Nonsense. I drank in the Phoenix for years and never saw any of that shite. Exactly. Was a dive but a good set of locals! Folk make assumptions from one song, one customer, one story etc. Broughton St losing Mathers and The Phoenix to "bars" is a shame. The streets appeal has always been its mix of proper boozers and trendy stuff imo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SE16 3LN Posted September 13, 2019 The West room isn't really a bar, sort of place I take me ole mum. Had some great night, and days, in the Phoenix many moons ago Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
