    This was never a micro pub. It was built as a snug bar for the Hippodrome Theatre which was around the corner on Grange Road. The theatre closed in the 1930s and the building became a Co Op. It was bombed in the Blitz and later demolished. In the late 50s the Co Op wanted to demolish the Garrick Snug and build a new building on the corner. The then licensee refused to sell even though he was offered a huge amount of cash. His daughter carried on running the pub until it was sold a few years back. The Co Op built their new building (still there under a different name) but had to alter the plans to fit around the pub.

    Another great review. Noticed the continuing improvement in your editing - good stuff. Will definitely be visiting the Snug next time in town. You are spot on that the staff and the way you are treated are most important reason for going back (quality beer is also essential!) 😊 The manager is sound! The Turkish gaff also looks amazing!

      Thanks mate, smaller videos give me a better opportunity to do nice edits, it's difficult to randomly go to a place and get nice stuff to edit, also working really hard to get into shape so it's hard to fit drinking in and it's also harder to film while drinking lol so I'll do a couple more shorter videos and a couple of pub videos with the practice these video will allow.
      I've got a video from Paris to finish off too it will be about a hour long so I'm clearing space so I can upload in the highest resolution.
