>while most of the former 13 Antic hospitality pubs have been saved from closure, three of their former popular venues are still at risk. Dogstar in Brixton, Tooting Tram and Social, and Coppers in Crystal Palace were not included in the sale, leaving their futures uncertain. They will continue to trade while administrators remain in discussion with interested parties.
Shame about Antic. I really liked their pubs. Great beer, nice food, good value.
I think it was Antic that was trying to revitalise the old cinema in Walthamstow but it just seemed to be a mill stone around their neck and something they couldn’t do piece meal like a pub. Soho Theatre stepped in with a hugely ambitious idea that’s close to opening now.
They also got shafted years a go revitalising The Chequers in Walthamstow doing it up and saving the landlord who promptly sold it to a different chain.
The pubs above that are in Balham have increased their pricing by 30%+ in the last 10 months it is fucked
