Micro Pubs

[gonzo]

Just drove through Cleveleys and in through Thornton and counted 7. 

It's the same throughout the fylde.

Has this phenomenon hit Bolton yet?

That's it mate. There's obviously still a market for pisspots. But not a big enough market for the bigger gaffs to survive without being part of a food based chain.

When our peg ran her pub the brewery were paying £28k a month rent! 

It's all good to me, nice to see businesses flourish.

Monton, now named Monton Carlo by the locals has about half dozen charging around £5-6 a pint and they’re always rammed. 

[Zico]

for some reason I always had a micro pub down as being a micro brewery, i.e they brewed on the premises like Rivvy or Brewery Bar

but if the likes of B33R in Horwich are micro pubs, is the definition just a premises that used to be a shop or something that's been converted?

[athywhite1958]

Yep, Athy has a few now, not a bad night out (so I'm told)

Id have gone with your definition but

So basically, if there's space to swing a cat, it's not a micropub.

I just thought 

Micro=Small

Pub=Pub

Small Pub. Micro Pub.

A little tiny Pub.

I think I'd only really heard the term micro breweries which generally have a bar as well

Always thought of what appears to be a micro pub as just a bar

Like Sam's bar in Horwich 

Never heard the circus tavern referred to as micro and that's fucking tiny 

And shit 

[DazBob]

I suppose the Circus Tavern was a bit of a one-off, so no need for a name.

With them now having been shooting up everywhere for the last few years they needed a specific name, especially for the hipsters.
